Preparing Sample Images
You can also start up PSE from the camera software “EOS Utility”.
Refer to the “Function for Use with the Accessories” of “Reference”
in “EOS Utility Instruction Manual” (PDF electronic manual) for
details.
Drag and drop
A RAW image that has been adjusted with Digital Photo
Professional (hereinafter, “DPP”) or RAW Image Task (hereinafter,
“RIT”) and is then opened as a sample image with PSE will not have
the adjustments made in DPP or RIT applied to it.
PSE uses a sample image to perform the various adjustments and save
the adjusted results as an original Picture Style file. For this reason, a
sample image (p.2) to be used for this purpose needs to be prepared in
advance and saved on your computer.
The settings performed in PSE are saved as a Picture Style file (p.15)
which is separate from the sample image, and the sample image used
to perform the adjustments itself is not affected at all.
Opening a Sample Image
Open a sample image and perform various adjustments with that image
as a basis.
Drag and drop a sample image to the main window.
