I have a regular S2. I just added a screen protector on both screens: the monitor and the OLED.

Hi David,

Thank you very much for taking time to help me. I appreciate very much. We do not know each other, as you live in Florida, which is quite far from the area of Chartres, where I live, a nice city 50 miles SW of Paris, France… But I can tell you that I have been reading your blog very often since I discovered it after Photokinas, and your advices and your enthusiasm about the S2 certainly influenced me to make this jump. In the same kind of ideas, I also appreciated Josh Lehrer's videos on the S2 very much.

It is true that, because of having used C1 for years, as you did, I have not been very active to learn the secrets of LR. So, if YOU say that LR4 can give better results than C1, I am willing to come back to LR. I downloaded LR 4, and I think I would appreciate very much the possibility to use the presets you published about optimizing the S2 files. Where can I find this information ? Will you publish the same presets in LR 4 ?

Is there any particular handbook you would recommend for LR 4 ?

Thank you for your help. Very sincerely,

Gérard

Hi Pebbleplace,

The purple CA I posted came right after processing the original DNG in Capture One Pro.

I quite agree with your opinion Adobe's CA removal. Actually, I am a long time user of Capture One Pro, which I find the best (by far) for sharpness rendition and moiré correction. This was the time I used the R9/DMR (with 7 wonderful lenses like the famous f:2,8 35-70mm). After my whole gear was stolen, I finally decided to make the jump into the S2 system, but with the 35mm and the 120mm only. I really enjoy this gear, but I feel very frustrated with Capture One who obviously refuses to process S2 DNGs whereas they process any other brand's RAW, including some Leica's… Jealousy ?

Hi Stuart,

I followed both your advices. It is true that the “defringe all edges” command helps quite a lot. I must say that since I feel OK with C1, I haven't learned much in Lightroom handling. But your second advice (local selection and desaturation) solved the problem very elegantly. I wouldn't have had the idea of using this command. So let me thank you for what you taught me.

Here is the result.

Very warmly to both of you, Pebbleplace and Stuart

Hi!

CS6 has all the S-lenses profiles (in the “Lens Correction Filter”) together with most of M-lenses profiles (Nothing for the R-lenses, unfortunately…)

I own the S-35mm-Summarit which shows magenta fringes in some situations (windows glasses in churches, for example), and the corresponding Photoshop lens profiles does not correct the problem. At least, I noticed no difference whether the profile is used or not…

Here is an example of the Bamberg cathedral and a crop on the windows
