With the release of Adobe Lightroom Classic 15.0, Leica photographers can now connect their cameras directly to Lightroom Classic without the need for any additional plugins. The new native tethering integration is now available, initially supporting the Leica SL3, Leica SL3-S, Leica Q3 and Leica Q3 43. Additional Leica models will be supported in future updates.
Live function
The live view function with autofocus point selection can now be used directly in Lightroom Classic in real time, offering precise control over exposure, aperture, ISO and white balance. This marks the first time that Leica cameras have been natively integrated into Adobe’s creative workflow.
Nico Köhler, Head of Product Experience at Leica Camera AG, said, “We are delighted that Lightroom Classic now offers native tethering support for Leica cameras. This development is the result of close collaboration between Leica Camera and Adobe, aimed at optimising photographic workflows and further enhancing the Leica user experience.”

I wonder how many are going to tether their Q3?
