[Leica] RAW workflow

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

Also - you don't have to open in Photoshop at ALL to use the RAW
converter - you can use it in Bridge with CMD-R (on the Mac) and open
the RAW converter to see what you have. This saves time and computer
resources.

I find the auto-guess to be pretty good also.
