andalus Posted June 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought my M9 in March and last week deployed my TAN number to get LR 2.6, figuring Leica was not going to give us LR3. So I upgraded to LR3 and paid 100 bucks. Now, it seem, LR3 WILL be available to M9 buyers who waited to "use" their dlowload code for LR. Is this actually the case? Will there be anyway to get a refund on the upgrade? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

01af Posted June 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2010 Now it seems LR3 WILL be available to M9 buyers who waited to "use" their download code for LR. Is this actually the case? At the current point in time, this question still is unsettled. But there are hints that seem to indicate the answer is going to be 'yes' eventually for those who patiently wait. Will there be any way to get a refund on the upgrade? Don't know but my guess is: no way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tategoi Posted June 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 14, 2010 At least you get to use the LR3 now, rather than having to wait for Leica to come to an agreement with Adobe. But again, why didn't you take up the 30 days trial and upgrade later? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 14, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 14, 2010 I suppose you can recover some of your money by selling your licence on e-bay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgio Posted June 15, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 15, 2010 I never understand the fuss about these coupons and discounts. It's all in the game with electronics, the longer you wait the greater the discounts, early adopters always pay most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwin Posted June 15, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 15, 2010 Hi All, I too paid the $99.00 USD for the recently launced LR3 - and, I used it all day yesterday. I must admit I wasn't overly impressed by the content of this recently launced LR3, but perhaps I have yet not found all the wonderful new additions made within the programme. Nonetheless, as an M9 owner I feel it' is rather cheeky for any of us to now complain about the price required for this newly released Adobe programme after our having purchased our costly new M9's... ...not, to mention the new glass that I and others now have also subsequently/recently purchased. To be perfectly honest - I am feeling blessed and honoured to have been able to afford the M9 and to be amongst the fortunate few who had the required contacts needed to be counted as one of those very blessed early M9 purchasers. As for the new LR3 programme - I would appreciate another M9 user's opinion of this newly released LR3 programme and what specific new task they're discovered that has proven dramatic/important to them...in their photography. With my respects, Norwin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted June 15, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 15, 2010 what specific new task they're discovered that has proven dramatic/important to them...in their photography. With my respects, Norwin RAW/dng conversion is a significant improvement over previous versions. It gives a full stop, maybe two stops, increased ISO before noise becomes intrusive, so its now as good at 800 ISO as it was at 400 ISO etc. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG improvement in fine control of noise, especially starting at ISO 800 and up. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcam Posted June 15, 2010 Share #14 Posted June 15, 2010 Didn't the X1 come with Lightroom too? Since I used the Lightroom code for my M9, I didn't bother getting LR again when I got the X1 so maybe now I can get LR3 with the X1. It's worth a try- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenerrolrd Posted June 15, 2010 Share #15 Posted June 15, 2010 Hi All, As for the new LR3 programme - I would appreciate another M9 user's opinion of this newly released LR3 programme and what specific new task they're discovered that has proven dramatic/important to them...in their photography. The raw conversion engine is much improve over LR2...this is the big improvement . The noise reduction capabilities are much improved as well. Everything else for me was appreciated evolution of the features and functions. I would view the many available videos that go through the improvements . I ve been using the Beta since it was available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
