Advertisement Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Ario Arioldi, Take a look here Lr 2.5. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chris_tribble Posted September 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2009 Correct! I've posted a request for information to the LR Forum over at Adobe... If I get any news I'll report back here. Strange that there should be a new release of ACR / LR and that the M9's not included. However - it looks as if Leica made their decision to switch to LR very late in the day as in my M9 handbook C1 is the RAW converter in the print copy, with LR only mentioned in an addendum page.

Shootist Posted September 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2009 Hopefully the LR for the M9 is not a Leica only release. Does anyone know if ACR is also updated or just new camera profiles. And why is the adobe site always so slow. 100KbS usually slower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfa Posted September 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2009 LR was updated for the M8, so it will be for the M9. I wouldn't expect the update within only a few days of the camera's release, more like a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 15, 2009 Since Leica have made LR the main app for the M9, maybe they might have a temp update for the M9 users.? to be incorporated in the next LR general update... . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect the update within only a few days of the camera's release, more like a few months. Funny but Phase One updated C1 V4 a day or two after the M9 was announced and Phase One is not affiliated with Leica anymore. Adobe Lightroom is being supply with the Leica M9 and the S2 so I would expect Adobe to get right on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect the update within only a few days of the camera's release, more like a few months. Yeah... LR 2.5 update says "Additional camera support for several new camera models including the Nikon D3000 and Olympus E-P1"... The Oly has been out for a couple months... so as you said the updates are a few months behind... But you would think that since Leica has partnered and ships LR with the M9 the camera profile would be available now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjohn Posted September 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 16, 2009 Unfortunately the quality of the conversions seems to keep going down in LR. When I compare the new LR 2.5 against Bibble Pro 5 Beta, Bibble produces a much better image. The same is true for C1. I am a bit disappointed in LR and its image quality. Printing is its major plus.

chris_tribble Posted September 16, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 16, 2009 I had this reply from an Adobe staffer on the Lightroom Forum: Hi Chris, We hope to have a profile ready before long. Unfortunately, no ETA yet. Thanks for your patience, and enjoy the M9. In the meantime, if you do have a ColorChecker you can try using DNG Profile Editor to build a profile automatically. Eric Looks like we have to wait for a bit - typically it's a 3 month update cycle for ACR and LR... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 16, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 16, 2009 Chris, do you have a Macbeth colour checker? If so it's very easy to produce your own profile using the free software the Adobe guy mentions. I'm surprised no one had uploaded one yet. Of course it would be specific to their camera, but would probably still be better than what's available currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted September 16, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 16, 2009 Unfortunately the quality of the conversions seems to keep going down in LR. When I compare the new LR 2.5 against Bibble Pro 5 Beta, Bibble produces a much better image. The same is true for C1. I am a bit disappointed in LR and its image quality. Printing is its major plus. If someone has purchased a print edited in Lightroom (for speed and ease of use) at a large size I will trudge through the C1 interface and produce nice, sharp, well coloured tiffs and move to photoshop for any dodging and burning etc. Lightroom is very fast and easy, but Capture One and I'm hoping Bibble 5 (which I am planning to purchase) produce a better file. Anyone know a release date for bibble5? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted September 16, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 16, 2009 The annoyance is that I do have a colour checker but I can't find it! If any one with the M9 is in a position to do this service and post a profile it could be very helpful - If mine turns up I'll definitely share.

jlancasterd Posted September 16, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 16, 2009 I installed LR 2.5 before I'd shot any images on the M9, and have been trying to use it to convert a number of RAW test shots today. Unfortunately LR is producing some very peculiar looking artefacts around areas of blown highlights, as in the attached example. They appear to be a permanent feature of the conversion process and carry over when the RAW images are converted to TIFFS. Has anyone any idea what they are, and how I can eliminate them? They don't occur when I use the DNG converter in Photoshop itself. Welcome, dear visitor!

This is known problem with 2.5 - Adobe is working on the issue - see here: Adobe Forums: LR 2.5 strange lines on highlights... I'd recommend you add your examples to the Adobe thread; the more widespread Adobe believe the problem to be, the higher up the priority list it will go.

I'll mail Adobe It appears that this problem only occurs with LR on certain MAC computers - including the MAC PowerPC G5 which I use - and possibly only with RAW images from certain cameras. Adobe is working on a fix. In the meantime, the advice on the Adobe Forum is to reinstall LR 2.4, which is what I've done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
