Introduction
A RAW image is image data that has recorded output data of imaging
sensor. As image processing is not performed inside the camera when a
photo is taken and the photo has been recorded in the special form of
“RAW image dat a + 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”.
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. In
the same way , for RA W images t oo, you cannot view them as images on
your computer unless you perform subsequent image signal processing.
Therefore, even though it is digital, this processing is called
“development”.
DPP automatically carries out this “development” processing when
RAW images are displayed in DPP. As a result, RAW images displayed
in DPP are images whose development processing has been
completed.
With DPP, you can view, edit and print RAW images without being
particularly conscious of the development processing.
RAW images are recorded in the format “RAW image data + Image
processing conditions information at the time of shooting”. When you
open a RAW image in DPP, the image is automatically 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. Therefore, it is the
perfect data for users who want to get creative with the images after
shooting, as you do not have to worry about image deterioration.
In DPP, the “Image processing conditions information” that can be
adjusted is called a “Recipe” (p.83).

In DPP, all the adjustments (image processing conditions information)
made with the tool palettes can be saved in the image as data called a
“recipe” (p.84), or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other
images as a separate recipe file (extension “.dr4”, p.85). However, a
recipe file with saved RAW image adjustments cannot be applied to
JPEG or TIFF images.

• Tone Adjustment tool palette
• Color Adjustment tool palette
• Detailed Adjustment tool palette
• Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette
• Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette
• Settings tool palette
Because adjustments made with these tool palettes (the recipe) only
change the image processing conditions, the “original image data itself”
remains unaffected. Consequently, there is none of the image
deterioration that normally accompanies editing and you can readjust
your image any number of times.

Introduction
With DPP, you can adjust images with the tool palettes by switching
between various tool palette windows according to your editing
requirements. Since adjustments made with the tool palettes only
change the image processing conditions, the “original image data itself”
remains unaffected. As there is no image deterioration that normally
accompanies editing, you can readjust your image any number of time s.
The various functions of the tool palettes are explained in more detail
under the respective topics.
Basic Adjustment tool palette
Makes basic adjustments to a RAW image (p.41).
Tone Adjustment tool palette
Adjusts the tone curve and applies the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.53).
Color Adjustment tool palette
Adjusts the hue, saturation and luminance of a specific color space. The
hue and saturation for an entire image can also be adjusted (p.58).
Detailed Adjustment tool palette
Reduces noise and adjusts the image sharpness (p.60).
Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette
Crops an image and adjusts the image angle (p.62).
Lens Correction tool palette
Corrects lens aberration in the image (p.65) and applies the Digital
Lens Optimizer (p.71).
Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette
Erases dust from an image and corrects image by copying sections
of the image (p.74).
Settings tool palette
Configures the work color space (p.79).
Using the different tool palettes
We recommend that you use the Basic Adjustment tool palette to make
adjustments to RAW images. However, if you find that the Basic
Adjustment tool palette does not offer a sufficient range of adjustments,
or if you want to use specific functions that are only available in the Tone
Adjustment tool palette (p.53), completing initial adjustments with the
Basic Adjustment tool palette and then using the Tone Adjustment tool
palette to make just the minimum of adjustments needed is
recommended.
For noise reduction (p.60) and lens aberration correction (p.67), you
should first complete necessary adjustments in the Basic Adjustment
and Tone Adjustment tool palettes, and then adjust with the Detailed
Adjustment tool palette (p.60) and Lens Correction tool palette (p.65).

Correcting Lens Aberration
Compatible Lenses
COPY
With the Lens Correction tool palette, you can use the lens aberration
correction functions and the Digital Lens Optimizer to correct lens
aberration in your images and to improve their resolution. This tool
palette can also be used in conjunction with the sharpness adjustment
functions. Note that the lens aberration correction functions and the
Digital Lens Optimizer can only be used with RAW images.
Select an image in the main window, etc.
1
Display the Lens Correction tool palette.
You can easily make corrections to drops in peripheral illumination,
distortions in the subject, and color blur which occur by the physical
characteristics of the lens or slightly remaining aberration.
Note that you can only correct aberration in RAW images which have
been shot with the following “Compatible Lenses”. JPEG or TIFF images
cannot be corrected.

You can respectively correct red chromatic aberration with the [R]
slider of the [Chromatic aberration] or blue chromatic aberration
with the [B] slider.
To correct distortion aberration of images shot with a fisheye lens

Effects of Distortion Correction for Fisheye
Lenses
Shot settings
By selecting this option, only the aberration corrections will be
performed to correct the optical distortions.
Emphasize Linearity
This converts the image to a “central projection” style image. This
projection method is employed for general lenses.
Since central projection displays straight lines as straight lines, a
wide-view panoramic image can be obtained by selecting this option.
However, the periphery is stretched, resultin g in decreased resolu tion.
Emphasize Distance
This converts the image to an “equidistant projection” style image.
This projection method preserves distance relationships.
Equidistant projection displays a distance in the same distance
anywhere from the center to the periphery. In particular, when
shooting a celestial body such as the celestial sphere, same heights
above the horizon(declination) are captured at the same heights. This
method is therefore used in such photography as celestial
photography (star maps, solar path diagrams, etc.).
Emphasize Periphery
This converts the image to a “stereographic projection” style image.
This projection method emphasizes the periphery.
Stereographic projection allows position relationships on a spherical
surface, such as N, S, E, W on a map, to be displayed correctly. It is
therefore used for world maps and monitoring cameras.
By selecting this option, the periphery is stretched and may result in
decreased resolution.

Emphasize Center
When selecting any of the options, [Emphasize Linearity],
[Emphasize Distance], [Emphasize Periphery], or [Emphasize
Center], it will yield results similar to that of the selected projection
method. However, the conversion does not really app ly a chang e of
projection method in a strict sense.
Accordingly, be aware that they are not suited for scientific or other
such purposes.
Shooting Distance Information Slider
COPY
This converts the image to an “orthographic projection” style image.
With this projection method, the center is more emphasized.
Since an orthogonal projection allows a subject of the same
brightness to be displayed as occupying the same area in the image,
this method has typical uses in photography for celestial luminance
distributions and center-emphasized animal photography. By
selecting this option, the center is stretched and may result in
decreased resolution.
When correcting RA W images and if shooting distan ce information has
been saved to the image, the slider is set automatically according to
this shooting distance information. However, if no shooting distance
information is saved to the image, the slider is set automatically to the
right end at infinity position and a [<!>] appears above the slider.
If the image’s shooting distance is not in finite, you can minutely adjust
the distance by operating the slider while looking at the screen.
For RA W images shot with MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo or EF
50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro with Life Size Converter EF, the slider
indicator changes to [Magnification factor].
The [Shooting distance information] slider is applied to all the
correction items with check marks.

Introduction
Correcting Multiple Images at a Time
The periphery of the image may be truncated when [Distortion]
correction is made.
Digital Lens Optimizer
Compatible Lenses
COPY
You can apply the same corrections to several images by first selecting
multiple images in the main window, and then performing correction
procedures (p.67).
Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the
corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images (p.84).
Additional information
Some noise appeared in the periphery of an image after
correcting [Peripheral illumination]
You can reduce the noise by using luminance and/or chromatic noise
reduction of the noise reduction function (p.60). However, if you had
applied high amount of [Peripheral illumination] correction to the
images that have been shot at night or with a high ISO speed, the
noise might not be reduced.
The image appears with less resolution after correcting
[Distortion]
You can make the image similar to the one before correction by
applying more sharpness with the sharpness adjusting function
(p.61).
The colors of the image became weaker after correcting [Color
blur]
You can make the image similar to the one before correction by
adjusting the color tone (p.47) and/or the color saturation (p.59) to
make the color deeper.
The result of [Color blur] correction cannot be detected
[Color blur] correction is effective for correcting blue or red color blur
which occurs at the edge of the highlighted area of an image. If
conditions do not match, correction cannot be made.
This function enables the resolution of images to be increased by
removing any remaining aberration related to image-forming capability
or any deterioration of resolution resulting from diffraction phenomena.
These optical phenomena cannot be corrected under Lens aberration
correction (p.65). Correction is achieved using the designed value of
each lens. The images that can be corrected are RAW images shot
using any of the following “Compatible Lenses”. JPEG, TIFF, S-RAW,
and M-RAW images cannot be corrected. To use this function, [Lens
data] for the lens used to shoot images first needs to be downloaded to
your computer. Before using the Digital Lens Optimizer, it is
recommended that you set [Sharpness] or [S trength] for [Unsharp mask]
for images to 0.

A color space set individually does not change even when the
default setting is changed
If you set an image with a color space different to the default setting and
then subsequently change the default color space setting (p.111), this
default setting will not be applied and the individually set color space will
remain.
The color space of a RAW image can be changed freely as
many times as required
Since only the image processing conditions information changes, the
color space of a RAW image can be changed at any time.

Saving Editing Results
Introduction
All the contents adjusted with the tool palette (recipe) can be saved to
the image or saved as a separate image.
Select the [File] menu desired item.
Your adjustments are saved to the image.
To view, edit and print a RAW image with software other than DPP,
convert to a more versatile JPEG or TIFF image and save.
If a JPEG or TIFF image is saved as described below, the image can be
saved as a separate image with the adjustments (recipe) applied to it.
The image is saved as a separate image, so the original image remains
unaffected.
Select the image to be converted.

DPP’s RAW image development processing technology is continually
being improved upon so that you can perform the latest image
processing more appropriately.
Meaning that, between two different versions of DPP, processing results
may differ very slightly even if with the same RAW image data, or the
results of significant editing of RAW image data with an attached recipe
may be different.
When you want to save the developing or editing results of the version
you are currently using as it is, saving the image as a separate file (p.80)
is recommended.
T o save the developing/editing re sult s for the version you are
currently using
By saving as a separate JPEG or TIFF image as explained
above, some image deterioration that accompanies editing/saving
occurs as when editing with general image editing software.
By saving as explained above, a trimmed image (p.62) or dust-
erased image (p.74 to p.78) actually becomes a trimmed image
or dust-erased image.

Re-Editing an Image
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted
with the tool palette (p.39 to p.79), so the “original image data itself”
remains unaffected. (The trimming range or dust-erasure information of
a cropped image (p.62) or dust-erased image (p.74 to p.78) is simply
saved to the image.)
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.80) 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.
