The tools are incredible but like anything judgement is required. If it is journalism like Chris Crawford is doing then I restrict myself to exposure, dodge, burn and spotting. On the other hand if it is impresdionistic the all the tools are on the table. To Brians question the late addition of upsampling mostly works but can occasionally fail miserably. Just keep your originals sacrosanct. On Sun, Mar 2, 2025, 3:55 PM Aram Langhans via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Yep.
