250swb Posted August 23, 2012 Share #21 Posted August 23, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just got my M9 last month and I don't believe I got a disk in the package...I'm using Photoshop CS4....would Lightroom do a better job ? It would probably do a better job than CS4, but CS6 would be even better than that (but of course its not free like Lightroom). If you already know your way around Photoshop then Ligthroom has little to offer. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 23, 2012 Share #22 Posted August 23, 2012 However, using CS4 as an external editor to LR4 works just fine and gives you the beniefit of the considerably improved raw engine of LR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_murray Posted August 23, 2012 Share #23 Posted August 23, 2012 I blame Leica for my spitting my tea over my keyboard while reading this thread... Regards, Bill I haven't stopped laughing at Jaybob and your own posts... ooh for about 10 minutes now. Priceless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT07 Posted August 24, 2012 Share #24 Posted August 24, 2012 My experiences with Adobe customer service over the years have been great. As many have already stated you could have solved this "dilemma" in one email to Adobe. I've run LR4 on 5 or 6 different computers by simple installing it on the new computer and using the registration key. This even worked when I switched from a PC to a Mac. I simply downloaded the Mac version and entered the registration key which Adobe was kind enough to email me since I had lost it. I hope this works for you too. Good luck.

David Monkhouse Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share #25 Posted August 25, 2012 What an interesting series of posts. Yes, one can download Lightroom 4 from the internet using the code include in the M9P box and get the latest version. Yes, one can save the downloaded programme and reinstall it at any time and get the latest update. But not all owners of a digital Leica can be assumed by Leica to be computer literate, yes they can load and use a programme supplied on a disc but finding and saving the download and contacting Adobe if there is a problem, etc. might just be a bridge too far. So why not include a Leica/Lightroom 4 disc that would cost less than 50 pence and include on the wrapper the Adobe numeric code. The programme would automatically lead you to the latest version and you would only have to ensure you didn't lose the disc. A much easier option than saving the software. And it would work, allbeit not with an update, even if one had no internet conection. After all it's not rocket science and that's how it was with the M8 and Capture One. just an observation.

andybarton Posted August 25, 2012 Share #26 Posted August 25, 2012 Part of the reason is that Leica want you to register your products. The chances of an M9 customer not being Internet savvy are pretty slim these days, I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbell Posted August 25, 2012 Share #27 Posted August 25, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I ordered CS2 on disk, and the original LR. Thinking I'd like a physical copy. They get updated so often that both disks are of no use now. It's downloads all the way for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
