ramarren Posted January 15, 2017 Share #21 Posted January 15, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) No, set to DNG + JPG fine. It makes no sense to throw away data that you will need when you have learned to process your images better than the in-camera JPG. -Which shouldn't take too much effort.- Get away from Photos - it really does not do the file from your camera justice. I would get Photoshop Elements in your position. Actually, Photos has a very good raw converter for Leica files ... the same one used in Aperture. The editing controls in Photos take a bit to learn but are all there, and in some ways work better than the Camera Raw plugin used in basic mode in Photoshop Elements. That said, I use Lightroom and prefer it over other image processing software. Capture with the camera set to JPEG + raw, then set the LR option to treat JPEG and raw as separate files: when you import your photos, you'll have both the in-camera JPEG and the raw file to work with so you can see what the camera did in its B&W rendering and then process the raw file to match or improve upon it.
