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.

You can set the white balance with each method.

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

O You can convert an edited RAW image into an RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image and save it

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 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.

Click the [White balance] button (p.1-2).
