Editing RAW Images with RAW Image Adjustment Functions

You can perform various edits on the RAW images. When edited with the RAW image
adjustment function (p.1-7 to p.1-10), there is almost no deterioration which accompanies
image editing. You can therefore edit an image multiple times while preserving the image
quality at the time the image was shot.

O When multiple images are selected, the edits are applied to all the selected images.
O The editing data can be saved in a separate file (p.1-15).
O The edited images can be transferred to image editing software (p.1-21).
O Editing of RAW images with the RAW image adjustment function (p.1-7 to p.1-10) is

recommended as there is almost no deterioration of the image which accompanies
editing. Although there is a similar function in the RGB image adjustment function

(p.1-11), there is slight picture deterioration with editing. Therefore, where editing only

with the RAW image adjustment function is insufficient, efficient RAW image editing
which keeps image deterioration to a minimum can be performed by additionally using
the RGB image adjustment function.

O Editing data performed with Digital Photo Professional has not directly edited the image,

but displays the image by applying virtual editing data (a recipe) (p.1-15). Therefore, you
can recover the image which was shot or the image which was last saved (p.1-17) and
editing can be performed any number of times.
To create an image which you have directly edited according to editing data, convert/
save the image as a different image from the edited image (p.1-18). Since the image
created by this procedure is edited directly, the image before editing cannot be
recovered.

Setting Color Space Different from Default Settings

For the color space of an RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image converted from a RAW image and saved as
a separate image (p.1-18), the color space set in [Default settings of Work color space] (p.1-26)
in the preferences is applied. To set up a color space different from the default settings, set up
a color space individually for each image.

Select [Adjustment] menu ` [Work color space] ` Select a color
space to be set.

¿ The selected color space is set.

You can change the color space of an RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image in the same way as a RAW
image. However, an RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image does not have same degree of flexibility as a
RAW image. Therefore, where you have changed the color space of a JPEG image set up
in Adobe RGB to a narrower color area than Adobe RGB, such as sRGB, the color of the
image accurately changes. However, where you have set up a JPEG image set in sRGB in
Adobe RGB or Wide Gamut RGB etc. which has a wider color area than sRGB, the color of
the image does not change accurately as you cannot expand the color area.

O Editing of RAW images with the RAW image adjustment function (p.1-7 to p.1-10) is

recommended as there is almost no deterioration of the image which accompanies
editing. Although there is a similar function in the RGB image adjustment function,
there is slight picture deterioration with editing. Therefore, where editing only with the
RAW image adjustment function is insufficient, efficient RAW image editing which
keeps image deterioration to a minimum can be performed by additionally using the
RGB image adjustment function.

O Editing data performed with Digital Photo Professional has not directly edited the

image, but displays the image by applying virtual editing data (a recipe) (p.1-15).
Therefore, you can recover the image which was shot or the image which was last
saved (p.1-17) and editing can be performed any number of times.
To create an image which you have directly edited according to editing data, convert/
save the image as a different image from the edited image (p.1-18). Since the image
created by this procedure is edited directly, the image before editing cannot be
recovered.

You can adjust the brightness of an image in the range of –100 to +100 (in 1-step increments

O You can set in the image a color space different from [Default settings of Work color

space] (p.1-10).

O A color space is the reproducible color range (the characteristics of color gamut).

Digital Photo Professional supports the following 5 kinds of color space.
sRGB : Standard color space for Windows. Widely used for the standard

color space of monitors, digital cameras, and scanners.

Adobe RGB : A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for

business purposes.

Apple RGB : Standard color space for Macintosh. A slightly wider color space

than sRGB.

ColorMatch RGB : A slightly wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for

business purposes.

Wide Gamut RGB

O Refer to the color chart below for the color area of each color space.

Color chart of color spaces compatible with Digital Photo Professional

: A wider color space than Adobe RGB.

O You can select a rendering intent (matching method) from [Perceptual] or [Relative

Colorimetric] for color conversion when printing an image.
Perceptual : Before and after conversion, all colors are converted to

maintain the relationship between colors. Even where colors
slightly change, you can print a natural-looking image which has
maintained color harmony. However, depending on the image,
the saturation may change overall.

Relative Colorimetric: There will not be much conversion to colors which are similar

before and after conversion, but colors which are not similar are
converted appropriately. Because there are little changes to
similar colors which comprise most of an image, you can print a
natural-looking image in which the degree of color has not
changed greatly. However, depending on the image, there are
cases where the tone of an image changes somewhat as colors
and highlights which are not similar change.

O With [CMYK simulation profile], you can simulate the color used when you print in a

CMYK environment such as that of a printer. Digital Photo Professional is compatible
with the following 4 types of printing profiles.

Euro Standard v1.00

JMPA v1.10 : Profile normally used for book printing, etc. in Japan, suitable for

U.S. Web Coated v1.00

JapanColor2001 type3

: Profile normally used for book printing in Europe, suitable for

simulation of standard European printing.

simulation of magazine advertising standard color printing.

Editing RAW Images with RAW Image Adjustment Functions

You can perform more detailed edits on RAW images, than in the main window. When edited
with the RAW image adjustment function (p.2-4 to p.2-7), there is almost no deterioration which
accompanies image editing. You can therefore edit an image multiple times while preserving
the image quality at the time the image was shot.

Display the RAW image in the edit window (p.2-2).

1

O When multiple images are displayed, click the image for which you wish to edit to

place it in the top window.

Select the [RAW image adjustment] tab on the tool palette.

2

¿ The [RAW image adjustment] tab

sheet appears.

Edit the RAW images (p.2-4 to p.2-7).

3

O You can apply edits to other images by copying and pasting the editing data to the

other images (p.1-15).

O You can revert edited images to the last saved settings or shot settings (p.1-17).

Compare the edited image with the original (p.2-3).

O You cannot edit PowerShot Pro1 RAW images.
O You cannot edit RGB (JPEG, TIFF) images with the RAW image adjustment function.
O If you exit Digital Photo Professional before saving editing data to images, editing data

applied to images will not be saved. Be sure to exit after saving editing data to images

(p.1-17).

O The editing data can be saved in a separate file (p.1-15).
O You can transfer edited images to Photoshop (p.1-21).
O Editing of RAW images with the RAW image adjustment function (p.2-4 to p.2-7) is

recommended as there is almost no deterioration of the image which accompanies
editing. Although there is a similar function in the RGB image adjustment function

(p.2-7 to p.2-10), there is slight picture deterioration with editing. Therefore, where

editing only with the RAW image adjustment function is insufficient, efficient RAW
image editing which keeps image deterioration to a minimum can be performed by
additionally using the RGB image adjustment function.

O Editing data performed with Digital Photo Professional has not directly edited the

image, but displays the image by applying virtual editing data (a recipe) (p.1-15).
Therefore, you can recover the image which was shot or the image which was last
saved (p.1-17) and editing can be performed any number of times.
To create an image which you have directly edited according to editing data, convert/
save the image as a different image from the edited image (p.1-18). Since the image
created by this procedure is edited directly, the image before editing cannot be
recovered.

Adjusting the Brightness

You can adjust the brightness in the range of –2.0 to +2.0 (in 0.01-stop increments when
entering a value).

4

Save the editing data to the image (p.1-17).

O The editing data can be saved in a separate file (p.1-15).
O You can transfer edited images to Photoshop (p.1-21).
O Editing of RAW images with the RAW image adjustment function (p.2-4 to p.2-7) is

recommended as there is almost no deterioration of the image which accompanies
editing. Although there is a similar function in the RGB image adjustment function

(p.2-7 to p.2-10), there is slight picture deterioration with editing. Therefore, where

editing only with the RAW image adjustment function is insufficient, efficient RAW
image editing which keeps image deterioration to a minimum can be performed by
additionally using the RGB image adjustment function.

O Editing data performed with Digital Photo Professional has not directly edited the

image, but displays the image by applying virtual editing data (a recipe) (p.1-15).
Therefore, you can recover the image which was shot or the image which was last
saved (p.1-17) and editing can be performed any number of times.
To create an image which you have directly edited according to editing data, convert/
save the image as a different image from the edited image (p.1-18). Since the image
created by this procedure is edited directly, the image before editing cannot be
recovered.

Automatically Adjusting the Tone Curve (Tone Curve Assist)

Adjusting the Tone Curve

A tone curve shows the brightness and color saturation for the original image (input) and the
adjusted image (output) in the form of a line graph. You can use the tone curve to adjust the
image brightness and color saturation values that were set by the camera automatically when
the shot was taken. Also, you can adjust the input and output of the entire image in a single
operation, or individually adjust the input and output of [R] (Red), [G] (Green) and [B] (Blue).
The horizontal axis shows the brightness and color saturation for the original image (input)
image, with the left-hand end indicating shadow (darker areas of the image) and the right-hand
end indicating highlights (brighter areas of the image).
The vertical axis shows the brightness and color saturation for the adjusted image (output), with
the lower end indicating shadow and the upper end indicating highlights.

Adjust the tone curve.

O Clicking the tone curve shows [ ] on the tone curve. Drag [ ] to your desired
