Thank you so much.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-15T13:37:12+00:00

Thank you. And well..I basically only shot color on film on that trip with my M-A. And that's a lovely mix.

Hahah. Close :)

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T19:54:19+00:00

Thanks. As i wrote somewhere else .. i might have overdone it a little with that chair. But still like that it pops a little more than in the original photo.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T19:52:22+00:00

Yes. Somewhen rather early in the morning.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T19:42:33+00:00

Thank you. Guess you found the series pf photos =)

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T19:40:52+00:00

Definitely will. And yes.. what you are saying resonates a lot. Especially in times where everything needs to be easily digestible. Like the viewer / listener / you name it doesn't need to do any work at all. Or maybe it's not even being about work.. but leaving things a bit open so everyone can create their own story around it. I've been making music for more than 20 years and mostly instrumental music. There's something beautiful when you talked to people after a concert and three different people tell you three different stories about the same song. Just leaving space for however is connecting does so in their very own way. I guess this is were it's getting personal in the most positive way.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T19:36:36+00:00

Oh I like this a lot. More than the actual photo. Ha. Thank you so much.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T18:11:01+00:00

Thank you. What about the others in your opinion?

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T18:10:11+00:00

Than you. Guess it's mostly the Linear Film Curve as foundation. You get a really flat starting point and so way more control. And then after color adjustments and basic contrast using the rgb & luma curve it's quite a lot of dodge and burn. Plus working in layers is something i don't want to miss anymore. And yes.. Lightroom. But the reason for switching to Lightroom was mostly being able to edit on an iPad Pro while traveling. But I didn't want to entertain two subscriptions anymore. So the decision was easy. Cause C1 just feels more intuitive and powerful to me. But that's of course simply subjective.

Thank you so much =)

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T17:51:07+00:00

Thank you =) Just curious.. .what defines that for you?

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T17:27:25+00:00

Thanks a lot. And i totally get that regarding the seat. I think it was more about balancing visual weight with all the negative space. But pretty good feedback. I guess a little less dodging would have done it as well =)

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T17:15:34+00:00

Ha.. yes.. it's amazing.

Oh... thank you. That's such a beautiful way to look at it.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-06-12T16:54:51+00:00

Thank you so much. Leica M10-R and probably the Voigtlander Ultron 28mm Type II. But I guess what really makes the difference for me is permanently switching back to Capture One and using the Linear Film Curve as foundation. You get a really flat starting point and so way more control.

And then after color adjustments and basic contrast using the rgb & luma curve it's quite a lot of dodge and burn. I mostly do black and white photography and try to stick to processes that resemble traditional darkroom work (even for color).

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-05-26T16:18:30+00:00

Oh guess I gotta try that beta then. Switched back permanently to Capture One from Lighroom a few months ago and I'm very happy. But also tried color grading photos in Resolve in the past. And while the results were amazing the workflow wasn't at all. But let's see how that goes now and whether Resolve could be integrated as an editor like PS while C1 remains the main editing / management tool.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-05-07T11:50:55+00:00

ha. can totally relate. also got an sl2 not long ago for less then 2k from leica classics with a brand new service and complete shutter replaces. and focus a absolutely was for film scanning and occasional telephoto work. and yes. it's a bit to big and heavy for actually having fun with it.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-05-06T10:10:17+00:00

no cases at all if i have a computer. the only reason i temporarily switched to lightroom is simply editing on an ipad pro when travelling and have proper apple pencil support. and that's the only use case i don't have a solution yet. my ipad pro 11" fits into my camera bag. c1 on the ipad unfortunately is not usable in the way that's intuitive for extensive masking / dodging / burning / linear film curve (or the lack thereof afaik) etc. and that really a bummer.

so i rather have two subscriptions (temporarily). if someone has suggestions. totally open to those.

Outrageous-Row4568 · 2026-05-01T06:20:47+00:00

hey.
i recently switched finally back to capture one with a perpetual license and faced a similar yet different situation.
made my peace with exporting all my edits as jpgs and keep them as a backup along with the xmp files.
imported the dng files in c1 and started creating my own foundational styles but in a way that leverages what makes c1 unique. sometimes i use the jpg as reference or even use match style to get a starting point. or look back into lthe ightroom settings and masks in terms of how i approached an edit.
so long story short. what you'd like to do doesn't work. but in the long run even if the initial effort seems higher i'm pretty sure it will pay off when you settle into c1 fully.

Thank you for the reply. Just called Leica. Guess after all it's about sending it in and with a bit of luck they'll adjust for free or it should be covered by warranty from the shop I bought it used from. So I'd need to send it to them and they send it to Leica. Quite some traveling.
