Just to speak about image downloading: Leica Fotos works on iOS, IpadOS and Android, but not on Windows or macOS. For these last the only way to download images is a USB cable or a card reader. Both these require opening the camera and extract the card or connecting a cable. As far as I know, there is currently no wireless mode to download the images to Windows or macOS. Not only: even connecting with USB there is no specific software to facilitate images download. On Windows (and PTP connection) the native Foto application may help, but it's generic and far from perfect. Under this point of view Nikon Transfer is a quite well done application to manage all this stuff. BTW, continue cable connection (or SD card extraction/insertion) are not the best system, especially in terms of wear of the Leica hw, to download pictures. I'm a bit surprised by the fact that Leica does not provide a software to manage images download via cable or wireless on Windows or macOS. Maybe I'm a bit dumb, but I'm not aware of other specialized software available to perform these actions. Please correct me if I'm wrong. What do you think about this? Den

I couldn't find any threads that helped me with my predicament. I'm currently using Windows for my post. I have a Lenovo Yoga 920 ultrabook and a Surfacebook 2. Neither of which pack the punch I need. With the release of the new M1 chips, I'm attracted to the idea (in theory) of doing my post on an iPad. I don't make a lot of changes post as I try and get the best photos I can SOOC. But I would like something that is fast and not prone to crashing/freezing, or that allows me to make heavy edits when I feel like it. I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews but was wondering whether anyone here had experience and advice on this in general or with the iPad Pro/M1 chips in particular. Specifically: Experience with a good iPadOS lightroom alternative (I've been looking at Pixelmator Photo, Darkroom, and Affinity Photo) Whether 8GB RAM on an M1 iPad Pro would be sufficient. I understand 16GB would always be better but is an M1/16GB configuration overkill on an iPad even when taking into account future-proofing? Overall experience of iPad editing with Apple Pencil Thanks in advance!

I noticed capture one has released it’s ipad version with some caveats, no tethering at the moment and can be bought only through subscription of 4.99 usd? I might be wrong … i have noticed some of good images were edited through Capture One which seems to be more ready with its profile colour for M11 compared to LR, very subjective anybody already use this app for ipad? I’m curious as my workflows for digital M is very ipad dependent, right now im using LR CC

I have a new M10-P and have installed latest firmware, 12/2018, with fast Lexar 128GB 1000x memory card. The other night I went out to photo sunset, but the MENU button would not work, managed some pix, removed battery, switched on and off a few times, finally all OK. I have NEVER had an unreliable Leica (or Nikon), and for $8000. Tonight I went to make a picture and the LIVE button wouldn't work, nor the MENU button, and the display of ISO was weak and dim (fresh battery). In a few minutes all working OK. Has anyone else had similar troubles with M10 or M10-P? My Leica Q and digital M never gave me a bit of trouble.

"New Editing and Sharing Capabilities with Leica FOTOS Leica Camera introduces Leica FOTOS, a brand new mobile app which offers Leica photographers the tools to stay connected easily through a single app. Compatible with almost any Wi-Fi enabled Leica camera, the new app allows photographers to capture unforgettable moments remotely, transfer, edit and share images quickly, easily and on-the-go. The Leica FOTOS app makes it easy to connect a smartphone to a Leica camera with the easy instructions provided at the start. All current Wi-Fi enabled Leica Cameras can be connected to the Leica FOTOS App. The app will automatically save all Leica camera credentials to instantly connect the next time it is used with the phone. Leica FOTOS enables photographers to access the Live View function of the camera and remotely change exposure-relevant settings such as the aperture, the ISO value, the shutter speed and exposure compensation from a smartphone. It naturally also allows wireless control of the shutter release, which opens up entirely new creative opportunities. Leica FOTOS can be used for this in combination with many popular software tools, ranging from Adobe® Lightroom®Mobile® to VSCO®. The Leica FOTOS app currently supports Leica S (Typ 007), Leica SL, Leica M10, Leica M10-P, Leica Q, Leica TL2, Leica TL, Leica T, Leica CL, Leica D-Lux and Leica V-Lux cameras. Beginning today, Leica customers can register for a free beta-version of the Leica FOTOS app for iOS and Android devices at fotosapp.leica-camera.com. The app will continue to be available free of charge after completion of the beta-evaluation phase.

This is thrilling for those of us shooting RAW only and trying to get them into Lightroom Mobile! Stay tuned... PS: how do I edit the topic title to correct spelling?

Hello, yesterday I tried to open DNG's with DxO Optics Pro directly and it says "file format not supported". I found in the internet, that it works with Adobe DNG. So I importet my photos into Lightroom CC as "copy as DNG". I have the plug-in for DxO Optics Pro in Lightroom but when I tried to open the images, I again got the error message. Am I missing something here ? Thank you very much for your replies. Greetings, Jurgen

Hi, irgendwann kommt sicherlich ein Firmware - Update. Da Leica ja hier mit liest, wäre es schön, wenn wir in diesem Thread unsere Wünsche nennen oder auch definieren. Bitte Eure Wünsche fortlaufend durchnummerieren (fortfahren mit Nr.5), dann könne wir es später leichter zusammenfassen und ev. eine Priotitätenliste erstellen. So fange ich mal an: Es gibt einige Einstellungen die nur in JPEG und nicht in RAW+JPEG zur Verfügung stehen. Dazu gehört: 1. Digitalzoom bis 150 mm bitte zur Verfügung stellen (s. Oly OMd- E m5) Freie Tastenbelegung: 2. Es sind nicht alle Tasten frei definierbar, bitte frei geben! Wenigstens die Video-Taste und die A-Taste (Automatiktaste). Manueller Fokus: 3. Beim Fokuspeaking bitte die Farbe rot anbieten, die vorhandenen sind zu schlecht zu erkennen. Handy App: 4. Blende und Belichtungszeit sind nicht über die App einstellbar, bitte frei geben.

OK I have just been given an LS5000 (I thought I was being given an old SCSI Coolscan but no!). I obviously need to run it via software and my only previous experience was with Nikon's own which is no longer an option as far as I am aware. I'm Mac based and running OSX 10.9.5 on a MBP so I do have USB ports (2) or could use a Thunderbolt with adapter if this gives any advantage ('though I doubt it would). Any suggestions given that I have a vast number of slides, some still in filmstrip form, and that speed whilst not essential would be useful? I have looked at both the Silverfast and Vuescan sites and both claim to be good; any others to consider?
