Bob and I have different setups and I know that he is still trying to solve
problems with his. It might be of general interest for me to describe what I
have found so far.
I had Lightroom 2.7 on one PC and LR3 on another. Both Window 7 64 bit
Exporting a catalog including negatives (the original files) from LR2.7 and
then importing them to LR3 on 2nd machine failed when the files were already
duplicated on the 2nd PC. Adobe has fixed this bug in the new Release
Candidate LR3.2. I just tried it.

LR3.2 contains a new Adobe Standard Profile for the Leica S2 (and other new
cameras of course). Subjectively the file rendering is improved based on the
40 odd S2 DNGs that I have shot. Skin tones are noticeably less yellow and
are cooler in my files. You can see the highlight levels and the histogram
colour channels shift in the previews when you toggle between the Embedded
and new profile.  Basically the files look like my M9 files grown much
larger if that helps anyone.

I copied the new Adobe Standard Profile to the right location on my LR3
machine but for some reason I have not yet determined I am not yet offered
that choice when opening the S2 files in LR3.0 nor Adobe Camera Raw 6.1 in
Photoshop CS5.
Adobe says that they will synchronise the point updates and we should
see LR3.2 and ACR 6.2 released together so that will resolve then if I don't
work it out in the meantime.

If you choose to download the Release Candidate Version do read the
instructions. In Windows it overwrites your LR3 install and you would have
to reinstall that if you wanted to revert. I think that Mac is different.
Remember that it is not the final version and testing it is voluntary.
Anyway do read first. I've had no trouble here thus far.

Cheers
Geoff
