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 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”.

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 RAW images too, 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.86).

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.87), or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other images as a separate recipe file (extension “.dr4”, p.88). However, a recipe file with saved RAW image adjustments cannot be applied to JPEG or TIFF images.

Basic Adjustment tool palette

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 times. 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.43).

 Tone Adjustment tool palette

Adjusts the tone curve and applies the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.56).

 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.61).

 Detailed Adjustment tool palette

Reduces noise and adjusts the image sharpness (p.63).

 Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette

Crops an image and adjusts the image angle (p.65).

 Lens Correction tool palette

Corrects lens aberration in the image (p.68) and applies the Digital Lens Optimizer (p.73).

 Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette

Erases dust from an image and corrects image by copying sections of the image (p.76).

 Settings tool palette

Configures the work color space (p.81).

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.56), 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.63) and lens aberration correction (p.69), 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.63) and Lens Correction tool palette (p.68).

 You can click the [ ] button at the bottom right of the main window

to show/hide [Tool palette].

Editing with the Lens Correction Tool Palette

Correcting Lens Aberration

To use this function, the EOS Lens Registration Tool (version 1.4.20 or later) must be installed.

 Lenses compatible with this function are those displayed in the

[Add or Remove lens data] window (p.74).

 You can also correct RAW images taken with the compatible lens

even when the extender is attached.

 You can also correct RAW images shot with EF50mm f/2.5

Compact Macro fitted with Life Size Converter EF.

 The aberration correction function is not available for images shot

with a lens other than those given under “Compatible Lenses”. They are therefore not displayed and cannot be used.

 The lens aberration correction function is not available for

multiple-exposure RAW images created on the camera.

 EF cinema lenses (CN-E lenses) are not compatible.

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.

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.

You can only correct aberration in RAW images which have been shot with compatible lenses. JPEG or TIFF images cannot be corrected. Note that even though the EOS 20D/EOS 20Da and EOS 350D are EOS cameras supporting the Digital Photo Professional, they are not compatible with the lens aberration correction function. Also, note that the lens aberration correction function is compatible with the EOS 5D with the firmware version 1.1.1 and the EOS 30D with the firmware version 1.0.6.

Introduction

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, resulting in decreased resolution.

 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 apply a change 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

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 RAW images and if shooting distance 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 infinite, you can minutely adjust the distance by operating the slider while looking at the screen.

 When correcting RAW images shot with the cameras in the table below,

it is set automatically to the right end at infinity position. You can then minutely adjust the distance by operating the slider while looking at the screen if the shooting distance is not infinite.

Introduction

Correcting Multiple Images at a Time

The periphery of the image may be truncated when [Distortion] correction is made.

Digital Lens Optimizer

 To use this function, the EOS Lens Registration Tool (version

1.4.20 or later) must be installed.

 The Digital Lens Optimizer is also available for images shot with

an extender attached to a compatible lens.

 You cannot use the Digital Lens Optimizer with multiple-exposure

RAW images created on the camera.

 EF cinema lenses (CN-E lenses) are not compatible.  [Diffraction correction] cannot be used at the same time as the

Digital Lens Optimizer.

You can apply the same corrections to several images by first selecting multiple images in the main window, and then performing correction procedures (p.69).

Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images (p.87).

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.63). 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.64).

 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.50) and/or the color saturation (p.62) 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.68). Correction is achieved using the designed value of each lens. You can correct these optical phenomena in RAW images which have been shot with 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 [Strength] for [Unsharp mask] for images to 0. Note that even though the EOS 20D/EOS 20Da and EOS 350D are EOS cameras supporting the Digital Photo Professional, they are not compatible with the Digital Lens Optimizer. Also, note that the Digital Lens Optimizer is compatible with the EOS 5D with the firmware version 1.1.1 and the EOS 30D with the firmware version 1.0.6.

Where unwanted dust spots are not erased even after performing step 5 once, they may be erased completely when you click several times.

 Mainly spots of dust can be erased with the repair function

Spots of dust can be erased with the repair function. You may be unable to erase lines of dust. In this case, use the copy stamp function (p.80).

 The dust-erased image can be reverted to its original condition

at any time

 Printing dust-erased images

You can print as a dust-erased image by printing it in DPP.

 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.83).

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.83) is recommended.

To save the developing/editing results 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.65) or dust-

erased image (p.76 to p.80) actually becomes a trimmed image or dust-erased image.

 You can batch convert and save multiple images (p.115).

[Save] button.

 By default, the image is converted and saved to a JPEG image

with the highest image quality, without changing the image size. Change the settings according to your requirements.

The RAW image is converted to a JPEG or TIFF image which is

then saved as a new image in the specified save destination.

Re-Editing an Image

JPEG/TIFF

Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted with the tool palette (p.41 to p.81), so the “original image data itself” remains unaffected. (The trimming range or dust-erasure information of a cropped image (p.65) or dust-erased image (p.76 to p.80) is simply saved to the image.) For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.83) to the image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.

 A recipe file with contents that can only be adjusted in RAW

images are not reflected even if it is applied to a JPEG or TIFF image.

 Recipes are not compatible between DPP version 4.x and DPP

version 1.x to 3.x. Images with DPP version 1.x to 3.x recipe files attached are displayed with the shot settings in DPP version 4.x. Conversely, images with DPP version 4.x recipe files attached are displayed with the shot settings in DPP version 1.x to 3.x.

All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be saved as an individual recipe file (extension “.dr4”) and loaded and applied to another image. You can edit images efficiently by selecting and adjusting one image from images shot with the same shooting environment and batch applying the adjustment results to a large number of images.

Creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images

JPEG/TIFF

Introduction

You can create images with a wide dynamic range where clipping in highlights and shadows has been reduced, and images that appear like paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-lifes and landscapes. This function is most effective when using three images with different exposures for the same scene (negative exposure, standard exposure, positive exposure) to create an HDR image. However, you can also create an HDR image from two images, or even only one.

Since an HDR image is saved as a separate image, the original images remain as they are.

* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

 This function can be used with all image types (p.3) supported by

DPP.

 Image information is not appended to an HDR image.

Select an image in the main window.
