Introduction
Introduction
Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter, “DPP”) is high-performance RAW
image processing, viewing and editing software for EOS DIGITAL
cameras. It is often thought that RAW images are difficult to handle
compared with ordinary JPEG images, but using DPP, you can perform
advanced edits and print RAW images with ease.
RAW Images and Their Features
What is a RAW Image?
A RAW image is image data that has recorded output data of imaging
sensor. Because image processing does not occur inside the camera
when a photo is taken and the photo has been recorded in the special
form of “RAW image data + Image processing conditions information at
the time of shooting”, special software is needed to view or edit the
image.
* “RAW” means “in a natural condition” or “not processed or refined”.
What is RAW Development?
If described in terms of film, the concept of a RAW image is a shot
image not yet developed (latent image).
With film, the image appears for the first time when it is developed. And
as for the RAW image, too, you cannot view it as an image on your
computer unless you perform subsequent image signal processing.
Therefore, even though it is digital, this processing is called
“development” and with EOS DIGITAL is performed using DPP.
With DPP, you can view, edit and print RAW images without having to be
particularly conscious of the development processing.
What Advantages Does a RAW Image Have?
RAW images are recorded in the format “RAW image data + Image
processing conditions information at the time of shooting”. When you
open an image in DPP, the image is instantly developed and you can
view the image as an image to which image processing conditions at the
time of shooting have been applied.
Even if you perform various adjustments to the image you have opened
(it undergoes automatic development processing each time), only the
image processing conditions (development conditions) change and the
“original image data itself” remains unaffected. Consequently, image
deterioration is not a problem and it is the perfect image data for users
who want to get creative with their images after they have been shot.
In DPP, the “Image processing conditions information” that can be
adjusted is called a “Recipe”.

About the Tool Palette
You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR] tab sheets according to your editing
requirements.
Because adjustment made with the tool palette (it undergoes automatic
development processing each time) only changes the image processing
conditions, the “original image data itself” remains unaffected.
Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration that arise with
editing and you can readjust your images any number of times.
See Chapter 2 onwards for more detailed information on the various
functions of the tool palette.
About Recipes
In DPP, all the adjustment contents (image processing conditions
information) made with the tool palette is saved to an image as data
called a “Recipe” (p.62).

Re-Editing an Image
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted
with the tool palette (p.21), so the “original image data itself” remains
unaffected. Also, the trimming range information of a trimmed image
(p.31) is simply saved to the image.
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.33) to the
image, trimming information, and revert to the condition when last
saved, or when the image was shot.
Select the image that is to be re-edited.

Advantages of printing with Easy-PhotoPrint
O Printing with faithful colors
When the color space is set to sRGB or Adobe RGB (p.52, p.59,
p.60), this color space is automatically transmitted from DPP to Easy-
PhotoPrint, allowing you to print with faithful colors. If you set Apple
RGB, ColorMatch RGB or Wide Gamut RGB, the image is printed
with Adobe RGB color space.
O Printing with a wide color reproduction
When the color space (p.52, p.59, p.60) is set to Adobe RGB and the
image is printed with the PIXMA printer, the color reproduction area
widens, and green and blue in particular are reproduced vividly.
DPP is also compatible for printing with Easy-PhotoPrint Pro (p.55).

About the RGB Tool Palette
You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR] tab sheets according to your editing
requirements.
The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the adjustment functions in
the [RGB] tool palette is wider than [RAW] tool palette, the image color
may be saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too
much. Therefore we recommend for functions other than tone curve
adjustment and automatic adjustment (p.28), that you adjust images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
Refer to Chapter 5 for explanations on functions of the [RGB] tool
palette other than tone curve adjustment.

Using the tool palette
We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Note that the [NR] tool palette (p.48) should only be used where noise
reduction is required after necessary adjustments have been made with
the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.

images] (p.57) is set to [High speed] in the [Preferences] window.
Select [High quality] to reduce noise.
O To check the noise reduction effect, enlarge the image and

Noise reduction is applied when the image is displayed enlarged in
the [100% view] or the [200% view] in the edit window or the edit
image window. It is not applied in the [50% view] or the [Fit to window]
display or any other window as the noise reduction effect is difficult to

About dust-erased images
O The dust-erased image can be reverted to its original condition
at any time
A dust-erased image is displayed or printed as a dust-erased image.
However, since the dust on the image is not actually erased, you can
always revert to the original image by clicking the [Undo] button in the
copy stamp window or performing the “Re-Editing an Image”
procedure (p.35).
O Checking dust erasure in the copy stamp window
Check dust erasure in the copy stamp window. Images before dust
erasure are displayed in other windows and you will be unable to
check them.
O Printing dust-erased images
You can print as a dust-erased image by printing it in DPP.
O The [Apply Dust Delete Data] button cannot be clicked
Even with an image that has Dust Delete Data attached to it in the
camera, if there is no dust to remove by DPP from the image, the
[Apply Dust Delete Data] button will be disabled.
O To erase dust spots that cannot be erased with the automatic
dust erasure processing
In automatic dust erasure processing, dust spots are erased based on
information relating to dust saved in the Dust Delete Data. However,
there may be cases where you will not be able to erase dust spots
depending on the type of dust. If this occurs, erase those dust spots
using the repair function (p.51) or the copy stamp function (p.52).
O The image becomes a dust-erased image when converted and
saved
The dust-erased RAW image actually becomes a dust-erased image
when converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved (p.34).

Printing RAW Images on a High-End Canon Printer
Introduction
Printing with a PIXMA Printer
For PIXMA printers that are compatible with the printing software Easy-
PhotoPrint Pro, you can print with DPP by a simple operation that has
the following features:
O Simple printing of RAW images
O Printing in faithful colors
O High quality printing using a wide color space of Adobe RGB, etc. and
the wide color reproduction range of a PIXMA printer
To print with DPP, first install Easy-PhotoPrint Pro version 1.0 or later on
your computer.
Select the [File] menu [Plug-in printing] [Print
1
with Easy-PhotoPrint Pro].
¿ Easy-PhotoPrint Pro starts up.
Specify the required settings for printing, and then
2
print.
Additional information
O Print up to 1000 images at a time
You can print up to 1000 images selected in DPP at a time. When
printing more than 1000 images, divide the printing into several jobs.
O Functions set in DPP that are not applied to printing
Specified output resolution (p.57) and CMYK simulation (p.59, p.60)
are not applied.
Advantages of printing with Easy-PhotoPrint Pro
O Printing with faithful colors
When the color space is set to sRGB or Adobe RGB (p.52, p.59,
p.60), this color space is automatically transmitted from DPP to Easy-
PhotoPrint Pro, allowing you to print with faithful colors. If you set
Apple RGB, ColorMatch RGB or Wide Gamut RGB, the image is
printed with Adobe RGB color space.
O Printing with a wide color reproduction
When the color space (p.52, p.59, p.60) is set to Adobe RGB and the
image is printed with the PIXMA printer, the color reproduction area
widens, and green and blue in particular are reproduced vividly.

O Default value of output resolution
You can set the resolution for RAW images converted and saved as
JPEG or TIFF images (p.34, p.65).
[High quality]
O False color reduction processing is automatically applied, and the
image can be displayed/saved as a false color reduced-high quality
image. Furthermore, you can use the noise reduction function (p.48)
to reduce the luminance noise and chrominance noise.
O You can check the effects of the false color reduction processing and
noise reduction function in the edit window or the edit image window
in the [100% view] or [200% view] enlargement display.
O In the [50% view] or [Fit to window] display of the edit window, edit
image window, or any other window, the effect is difficult to check, so
they are not applied.
O We recommend that you normally set [High quality] for a balance
between image quality and display speed.
[High speed]
O Since false color reduction processing is not applied, the display
speed of a RAW image in the edit window or the edit image window in
the [100% view] or [200% view] enlargement display, and the time it
takes to save a RAW image is less than in [High quality].
O You cannot use the noise reduction function (p.48).
O Depending on the image, it may be displayed/saved with false color
or noise being noticeable.

Editing JPEG and TIFF Images
With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as
RAW images using the [RGB] and [NR] tool palettes.
Because adjustment made with the tool palette only changes the image
processing conditions, the “original image data itself” remains
unaffected. Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration
that arise with editing and you can readjust your images any number of
times.
JPEG, TIFF image data
About the RGB Tool Palette
With the functions in the [RGB] tool palette, you can adjust JPEG and
TIFF images with the same functions as ordinary image editing
software.
However, because the adjustment width of the adjustment functions in
the [RGB] tool palette is wider than [RAW] tool palette, the image color
may be saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too
much. Therefore, take care not to adjust your images to an excessive
degree.
You can adjust RAW images with the functions in the [RGB] tool palette.
However, for functions other than tone curve adjustment (p.74) and
automatic adjustment (p.70), we recommend adjusting RAW images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.

• Images where the brightness is unbalanced
• Images which are too dark
• Images which have extreme backlighting
If you click the [ ] button, the tone curve as well as the [Hue] and
[Saturation] revert to the default settings. Take care when adjusting
the [Hue] and [Saturation] individually (p.73).

Saving as a Separate Image
If a JPEG or TIFF image is adjusted with the tool palette (p.69 to p.76)
and then saved in the same way as a RAW image as described below,
the image can be saved as a separate image with the adjustments
applied to it.
Furthermore, if a trimmed image (p.77) or dust-erased image (p.79 to
p.82) is also saved in the same way, it actually becomes a trimmed or
dust-erased image.
O Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image (p.34)
O Batch save as JPEG or TIFF images (batch processing) (p.65)
By saving as a separate JPEG or TIFF image as explained above, the
adjustments made with the tool palette are applied, and some image
deterioration that accompanies editing/saving occurs as when editing
with ordinary image editing software.
Re-Editing an Image
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted
with the tool palette (p.69 to p.76), so the “original image data itself”
remains unaffected. Also, the trimming range or dust-erasure
information of a trimmed image (p.77) or dust-erased image (p.79 to
p.82) is simply saved to the image.
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.82) to the
image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the
condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.
Select the image that is to be re-edited.

Troubleshooting
If DPP is not operating correctly, refer to the items below.
Introduction
An image could not be adjusted
Installation could not be completed correctly
O You cannot install software unless you are logged into an account with
Administrator privileges. Log in again into an account with
Administrator privileges. For how to log in and how to specify
Administrator settings, refer to the User’s Manual for the Macintosh
computer you are using or for OS X.
DPP does not work
O DPP does not operate correctly on a computer if its system
requirements does not meet. Use DPP on a computer with compatible
system requirements (p.3).
O Even if your computer has the RAM capacity (memory) described in
the system requirements (p.3), if other applications are running at the
same time as DPP, you may not have sufficient RAM (memory). Quit
any applications other than DPP.
Images do not display properly
O Images that are not supported by DPP do not display. There are
various types of JPEG and TIFF images, so JPEG images other than
Exif 2.2 and 2.21 compatible images and TIFF images other than Exif
compatible images may not display properly (p.3).
O When a dust-erased image (p.49 to p.52, p.79 to p.82) is displayed in
a window other than the copy stamp window, it is displayed as it was
before dust erasure was performed. Check dust-erased images in the
copy stamp window.
O The image adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette cannot be
used on JPEG and TIFF images. Adjust these images with the [RGB]
tool palette (p.90).
A recipe could not be pasted (applied) to another image
O You cannot paste (apply) rotation (p.9, p.21, p.87, p.92, p.93),
trimming (p.31, p.77), dust erasure (copy stamp) (p.49 to p.52, p.79 to
p.82) of an image to another image as a recipe. Trim the image or
erase dust of the image using the copy/paste function in each window
and rotate each image individually.
O The adjustment contents (recipe) of RAW images that has been
adjusted with the image adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette
cannot be applied to JPEG or TIFF images (p.90).
Color appears weak in the image when viewed with
other software
O A RAW image which has a color space other than sRGB set (p.52,
p.59, p.60) and is then converted and saved as a JPEG or TIFF
image will appear weak in color when viewed in software that is only
compatible with sRGB color space. In this case, set the RAW image
color space to sRGB, convert again to a JPEG or TIFF image and
save, and then view this image.

The colors of the image displayed on screen and
the colors of the printed image do not match
O If the color of the monitor that displays an image is not adjusted
correctly, or if a profile for a printer that is to print images, has not
been set up, the color of the image displayed on screen and the color
of the printed photograph may differ greatly. If the color of the monitor
that displays images is corrected (p.59, p.60) and a profile for a
printer is set up correctly (p.59, p.60), the color of a printed
photograph and the color of an image on screen can be more closely
matched. Printing with a Canon printer (p.35, p.55, p.56)
automatically sets up printer profiles, so you only need to set the color
of the monitor to bring the colors closer together.
O When printing with Easy-PhotoPrint and the Easy-PhotoPrint
automatic compensation function and the various types of image
adjustment functions are operating, colors are not printed correctly.
Cancel all Easy-PhotoPrint image adjustment functions (p.36).
O Even if you set a printer profile, if you use the color adjustment
function of the printer driver, the image may print in colors different
from those displayed on screen. Do not use the color adjustment
function of the printer driver.
Printing a large number of images in batches cannot be performed
Deleting the Software (Uninstalling)
O Quit any applications before uninstalling the software.
O Log into the account used when installation was performed.
O When you have moved the folders and the software to be deleted to
the Trash, select the [Finder] menu [Empty Trash] and empty the
Trash. You cannot reinstall the software until you have emptied the
Trash.
Display the folder in which the software is saved.
1
O Open the [Canon Utilities] folder.
Drag the folder for the software to be uninstalled to
2
the Trash.

Glossary
RAW image
EOS DIGITAL camera RAW images are recorded in an uncompressed
14bit or 12bit format.
Because RAW images are special images in an undeveloped status,
you need software with development processing functions such as DPP
in order to view them. The advantage of the undeveloped RAW images
is that you can make a variety of adjustments to RAW images with
almost no deterioration of the image.
* “RAW” meaning “in a natural condition” or “not processed or refined”.
JPEG image
The most ordinary image in non-reversible compressed 8bit format.
The advantage of this is that by saving at a high compression rate, the
file size can be small of even image data that has a high pixel count.
Because during saving and compression part of the data is thinned out
to make the file size small, every time you edit or save, the image
deteriorates.
With DPP, even if you repeat editing/saving, only the recipe data is
modified, and no overwriting or compression occurs so the original
image data does not deteriorate.
* JPEG is an abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Experts Group”.
TIFF image
Bitmap-format image recorded in a 8bit/16bit uncompressed format.
Because TIFF images are in uncompressed format, they are suitable for
saving an image while maintaining the original high image quality.
* TIFF is an abbreviation of “Tagged Image File Format”.
Recipe
The “Image processing conditions information” for RAW images that can
be edited in DPP is called a “recipe”.
Further, in DPP, you can perform image editing on JPEG and TIFF
images that use “recipes” as with RAW images.
bit number
Binary unit of information volume in the color of an image. The number
shows the number of bits per pixel.
The larger the number of bits, the more the color numbers and the
gradation becomes smoother. A one-bit image is a black-and-white
image.
Color Management System (Color Matching)
Digital cameras that shoot images, monitors that display images, and
printers that print images each have a different way of creating color. For
this reason, there may be a difference between the color of an image
you view on a monitor and the color of an image you have printed.
A color management system is a system for managing color in order to
bring these colors closer together. With DPP, you can more closely
match color between different devices using ICC profiles between
different devices.
ICC profiles
ICC profiles are files containing color information such as color
characteristics and color space for various devices, set by the ICC
(International Color Consortium). Most devices such as the monitor we
use to view images or the printer we use to print images can be
managed (color management) using these ICC profiles and the color
between different devices can be more closely matched.
DPP has color management that uses these ICC profiles.
Tone Curve
A tone curve shows values before adjustment (input) as the horizontal
axis on a graph, and the values after adjustment (output) as the vertical
axis. Since the values of before adjustment and after adjustment are the
same before any adjustment is made, the tone curve displays as a
straight line from bottom left to top right, and by changing this tone
curve, you can adjust in detail the image’s brightness, contrast and
color. The more you go right on the horizontal axis, the more the plus
value it becomes, and the higher you go on the vertical axis, the more
the plus value it becomes.
