Lightroom Plugin for M240 Shadows processing

In my previous post I described how I had developed a program to process Leica M240 raw files in order to compensate for the colour casts that are seen when pushing the shadows in post processing:


Following on from that I have now developed a Lightroom plug-in that enables easy processing of M240 raw files, which you are free to download and use: from my downloads page

There are configuration options that allow you to define how the output files are added back into your current Lightroom catalog. You can either keep them in the same folder as your originals (optionally stacking with the original):


Or in a sub folder of your choice below the original:


The current version of this plugin is effective for processing images taken at ISOs below 1000; it is safe to run on higher ISO images but is unlikely that you will see any real benefit on those high ISO files.

I'd be pleased to hear feedback if you find the plugin useful, or have any suggestions on improvements that could be made.
