[Leica] It's all your fault

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Right on. I do not even have Photoshop anymore. LR is more than enough. If I 
have to spend 1/2 hour manipulating an image in a piece of software to make 
it look decent, then I have screwed up at the time of taking the picture.

Cheers,
Nathan
