      Can a ink jet printer really resolve all the detail from a Leica image?

      By dpitt · Posted

      Thanks for explaining. That helps very much. It looks like you have a good grasp of PP tools (yes post processing), and for in a digital workflow that is one area covered. One thing that you might find is that with digital you will probably end up with lots more images. They are 'free' anyway. Of course that is not really the case, since keeping them safe (backups) is not free and culling and processing them will take time. I recommend either going for LR or for something like C1P to manage them all. Since you know Photoshop, LR seems the obvious choice. I am confident that you will master the SL3 menu's. They are more complicated than your R9 (great camera BTW) but Leica has done a great job in finding the balance between flexibility and ease of use. Still, I think that there will be a learning curve, mostly in the way you shoot with it compared to the R9. e.g. exposure techniques will be completely opposite to using film. With film you expose for the shadows, with digital for the highlights. The DR and detail will probably blow you away, and shooting at ISO 6400 without grain even more... But to get the same natural look of your images shot with the R9 will probably take some tweaking. If you add auto focus and IBIS and OIS lens that adds more to think about, and set... One of the reasons I still like to shoot MF Leica R lenses on my SL. So, I think that you are ready for digital and I am confident that you will get good results on screen quite easy. I had to look up Rec. 2020 🙂. Maybe some others can help about exporting for that. In any case it helps to tweak your crops for the exact dimensions of your preferred display. Both LR and C1P support setting up export profiles to do that. They also support making slide shows. Regarding printer, it is probably best to dive in and see what you get. My friend prints with a Canon 1000 Pro with max resolution of 600 DPI. I have no issues with the quality of his prints, but it always takes time for each individual image to get the best results out of it. It usually takes a few test prints with different settings and papers, possibly even PP tweaks... That is the learning process I would expect.

      Digital zoom and Leica Perspective Correction (LPC).

      By Corius · Posted

      And it's the same with the Q3, you can choose to do PC in post processing whether or not you have previously selected LPC in the camera. the LPC is not baked into the RAWs, all that happens is that the LPC metadata is included in the RAW file and you can choose whether or not LR applies it automatically. (obviously it is baked into jpgs, but that's a different discussion) Another advantage of LPC that you don't get with post processing is that you can be sure that you've captured the whole corrected image before you take the photo. With converging verticals etc, you don't want to get home and discover that you've lost the top of the Cathedral spire when you try to do PC in post.
