Introduction

What is a RAW Image?

What is RAW Development?

What Advantages Does a RAW Image Have?

RAW image data

Image processing conditions information

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

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”.

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”.

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 p rint RA W images without having to be
particularly conscious of the development processing.

About the Tool Palette

About Recipes

For a list of tool palette functions, refer to p.109.

You can perform a variety of image adjustments, such as adjusting the
brightness or changing the Picture Style of an image using the tool
palette of the edit window . You can easily restore an image to its original
settings with the [ ] button even if you have made the wrong
adjustment. Try out the various adjustments.

As an example, the procedure to adjust the brightness of an image is
explained here.

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] 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.

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.79).

About the RAW Tool Palette

Editing an Image

This section explains how to adjust an image using the tool palette in the
edit window.

You can easily restore an image to its original condition with the [ ]
button even if you have made the wrong adjustment. T ry out the various
adjustments.

How to make adjustments using the [RAW] tool palette functions, and
how to adjust automatically with the [RGB] tool palette are explained in
this section.

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] tab sheets according to your editing
requirements.
Adjustments similar to those that can be performed with the funct ions of
your camera can be performed using the functions of the [RAW] tool
palette. When the camera settings were incorrect during shooting, or
when the shooting result is not what you visualized, you can get closer
to what you envisaged with the [RAW] tool p alette which is similar to the
camera.
All functions other than [RGB] tool palette automatic adjustment, and
each function of the [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palette are explained in
Chapter 3.

Editing with the Tool Palette in the Main Window

By clicking the [Tool] button (p.105) in the toolbar on the main window,

• Edit window: The image is displayed in its trimmed condition.

• Edit image window: The thumbnail image is the same as the main
window display, and the enlarged image is the
same as the edit window display.

O Printing a trimmed image

You can print as a trimmed image by printing it in DPP.

O The image becomes a trimmed image when converted and saved

The trimmed RAW image actually becomes a trimmed image when
converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved (p.38).

O Images that have aspect ratio set will be displayed as trimmed

images

When aspect ratio information is attached to an image shot with EOS­1Ds Mark III or EOS-1D Mark III, the set trimming range based on the
aspect ratio information is displayed. However, since the image is not
actually trimmed, you can change the trimming range or revert to the
condition before trimming.
When reverting to the condition before trimming is performed based
on the aspect ratio information at the time of shooting, click the
[Reset] button. Also, if you want to cancel all the trimming range, click
the [Clear] button (p.114).

Introduction

Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image

Click and save

Select the save
destination

Enter a file name and
select an image type

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 differing versions o f 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, it is recommended that you convert and
save images as JPEG image or TIFF images.

T o save the developing/editing re sult s for the version you are
currently using

O By saving as explained on this page, a trimmed image (p.35) or

dust-erased image explained in Chapter 3 (p.63 to p.67) actually
becomes a trimmed image or dust-erased image.

O You can reduce the noise characteristic of JPEG images which

occurs when you convert and save an image as a JPEG (p.72).

O You can batch convert and save multiple images (p.82).
O For a list of [Convert and save] window functions, refer to p.113.

To view, edit and print a RAW image with software other than DPP,
convert to a more versatile JPEG or TIFF image and save.

The image is saved as a separate image, so the RAW image remains
unaffected.

Select the image to be converted.

1

Select the [File] menu ` [Convert and save].

2

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

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

Using a Picture Style File

The Picture Style files that you can apply to the ca mera are files with
the “.PF2” extension only. Furthermore, you cannot apply Picture
Style files with the extension “.PSE” to an image; however if such a
file is registered in the camera and the image is shot, the image will
display correctly.

Introduction

A Picture Style file is an extended function file of a Picture Style.
With DPP, you can apply to RAW images Picture Style files that you

have downloaded from Canon’s web site ef fective for various scenes or
Picture Style files created with “Picture Style Editor”. When using a
Picture Style file, save it to your computer beforehand.

Introduction

About the RGB 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.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palette (p.110)
when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.57), reducing noise (p.58)
or correcting aberration (p.59) after you have made any required
adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.

Using the tool palette

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] 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 the [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.30), 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 Auto Lighting Optimizer

If the shooting result is dark or the contrast is low, you can use the Auto
Lighting Optimizer function to auto-correct the brightness and contrast,
and obtain a more pleasant image.

You can also change the settings of the image shot with the camera’s
Auto Lighting Optimizer function.

This function is compatible only with RAW images shot with EOS 5D
Mark II, EOS 50D, and EOS REBEL T1i/500D.

* ALO stands for Auto Lighting Optimizer.

O The noise reduction function does not work

Noise reduction cannot be applied when [Viewing and saving RAW
images] (p.72) 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

display it

Because noise reduction effect is dif ficult to see in the [50% view] and
[Fit to window] displays, use [100% view] or [200% view] to check the
noise reduction.

Additional information

O You can set the default noise reduction beforehand, using

[Default noise reduction settings] in the [Tool palette] tab sheet in
Preferences (p.75).

• When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a
noise reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand
as the default.

• When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand. This is
particularly useful for applying noise reduction to all the images
in a folder at once, such as batch noise reduction for images
with high ISO speeds.

However, for images with recipes attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe will be applied.

O If [Luminance noise reduction] has been set, resolution may be

reduced along with reduction of noise.

O If [Chrominance noise reduction] has been set, color bleeding

may occur along with reduction of noise.

O For a list of tool palette functions, refer to p.110.

Reducing Noise

You can reduce noise that arises in RAW images shot at night or with a
high ISO speed.

NR is an abbreviation for “noise reduction”.

You can make the image similar to the one before correction by
adjusting the color tone (p.27) and/or the color saturation (p.90) to

O 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

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.65) or the copy stamp function (p.67).

O Viewing and saving RAW images

You can select from two types of image quality for displaying/saving
RAW images: high image quality with false color reduction processing
and noise reduction function (p.58) used, or high speed without false
color processing and noise reduction function used.

[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.58)
to reduce the luminance noise and chrominance noise.

O Because the effects of the false color reduction processing and noise

reduction function are difficult to see in the [50% view] or [Fit to
window] display of the edit window and edit image window, use
[100% view] or [200% view] to check.

O We recommend that you normally set [High quality] for a balance

between image quality and display speed.

[View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)] of [High quality]

O If you checkmark [View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)],

when the image is displayed in the edit window or the edit image
window, false color reduction processing is not applied.

O As the [View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)] setting is the

same as [High quality] other than for display of the image, the image
undergoes false color reduction processing when it is saved and the
noise reduction function is also available.

COPY

[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.58).
O Depending on the image, it may be displayed/saved with false color

or noise being noticeable.

What is the difference between the [High quality] and [High
speed] displays?

The display image quality of [High quality] and [High speed] is the same
except when the image is displayed in the [100% view] or [200% view]
enlargement display in the edit window or the edit image window.

JPEG image quality

O

[Remove block noise and mosquito noise]

O You can improve the quality of a JPEG image by reducing the noise

that is likely to occur when RAW images are converted to JPEG
images and saved (p.38, p.82).
This setting is also effective for JPEG images that have been saved
with a different name.

[Display thumbnails at high quality]

O You can have the thumbnails for JPEG images automatically displayed

at high quality. If you checkmark [Display thumbnails at high quality],
all subsequent JPEG image thumbnails imported into DPP will be
displayed at high quality.

The extent of the improvement in noise reduction

The higher the JPEG image’s compression rate, the more noise is
reduced. When the compression rate is low , the effect of noise reduction
is negligible.

If you checkmark the checkbox, the order of the rearranged images is
maintained even if you exit DPP or select another folder in the folder
area.

If you remove the check mark, the order of the rearranged images is not
maintained and reverts to the previous order when you exit DPP or
select another folder in the folder area.

[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be changed to match the
camera’s preset settings, when you change the Picture Style.

O If you remove the check mark, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],

[Contrast] and [Sharpness] settings will be retained, even if you

Default noise reduction settings

O

You can set a default beforehand for the noise reduction level.

RAW Images

• When [Apply camera settings] is selected, you can pre-set a noise
reduction level that suits the camera settings beforehand as the
default.

• When [Set as defaults] is selected, you can pre-set a preferred
default setting for the noise reduction level beforehand.

JPEG/TIFF Images

• You can set a desired default noise reduction level beforehand.

For images not having a recipe attached, the default set here for noise
reduction level is applied. However, if you want to apply settings to
images in the opened folder, you need to re-o pen the folder after making

COPY

settings here. For images with a recipe attached, the noise level
recorded in the recipe remains as it is and the default for noise reduction
level set here is not applied.

O Default settings of RGB tool palette

You cannot apply changes to the settings until you re-open the folder.

Changes are not applied to the edited image

Even if the default setting is changed, the new default setting is not
applied to edited (i.e., adjusted using the tool palette, trimmed, dust­erased) images. Change each one individually.

Advantages of setting a noise reduction default

In instances where the same level of noise occurs in several images,
such as images shot with high ISO speed, setting an appropriate default
noise reduction setting enables you to apply a batch noise reduction
default to all the images displayed in DPP (excluding images with a
recipe attached). This eliminates the need to apply noise reduction to
each individual image. And, since you always shoot with the same
conditions, it is also useful when you want to set the same noise
reduction level for all shot images.

75

You can specify settings relating to color management, such as settings

Color Management

for work color space, conditions for color matching, etc.

O Default settings of Work color space

You can select from five types of color space (p.120) that is applied as a
default setting in RAW images. Color space that ha s been set is applied
as the color space when a RAW image is converted and saved (p.38,

p.82) or printed (p.39, p.42, p.44, p.68 to p.71).

O If you have changed the setting, and you restart DPP, the new setting

is applied as the default setting color space.

O You can check color space that has been set in an image in the edit

window (p.108) and the edit image window (p.112).

Changes are not applied to the edited image

for each image (p.67).

O

Display setting (color setting of the monitor)

Where a profile (p.119) is attached to the monitor you are using, you can
display an image in more faithful colors by setting the profile.

O If you select [Use the OS settings], the color profile set in Windows

COPY

will also be applied in DPP.
If you are using multiple monitors, only the profile of the primary
monitor is applied to DPP.

If you use a profile created using a third-party monitor color reader,
images can be displayed in even more precise colors.

76

O Setting of printing profile (color setting of the printer)

Where a profile (p.119) is attached to the printer you are using to print
images, you can print an image and simulate the colors displayed on
screen by setting the profile. The profile that has been set is applied to
all printing (p.44, p.68, p.69) except for printing using a Canon inkjet
printer (p.39, p.42) or linked printing (p.70, p.71).

The adjustment function of the printer driver should not be
used

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.

Automatic settings for printing using EPP EX, EPP, and
linked printing

If you are printing using a Canon inkjet printer (p.39, p.42) or using
linked printing (p.70, p.71), a profile is set automatically even when the
[Printing profile] setting is not performed. This allows you to print faithful
colors easily.

O Setting of CMYK simulation profile

You can select the color when printing in the CMYK environment of a
printing machine, etc. from four types of profiles (p.120) and perform
simulation on screen.

O When CMYK simulation has been set, [CMYK] appears (p.105, p.106,

p.108, p.112) in the bottom of the main window, edit window and edit

image window, and colors can be checked.

O To temporarily cancel CMYK simulation, press the <Ctrl> + <Y> keys.

O

Rendering intents when using Easy-PhotoPrint

You can set a rendering intent (matching method) (p.120) for printing
using Easy-PhotoPrint (p.42).

O The rendering intent is ordinarily set to [Relative Colorimetric].
O When colors with [Relative Colorimetric] are not satisfactory, set to

[Perceptual].

Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe)

Contents adjusted using the tool
palette can be handled
individually as a recicpe file
(extension “.vrd”).

RAW image data

Image processing conditions information

The adjustment contents of JPEG or TIFF images (p.86) can be
saved as a recipe file (extension “.vrd”) and loaded and applied to
another image in the same way as with RAW images.

All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be
saved as an individual recipe file (extension “.vrd”) 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.

O Recipe data includes tool palette contents

Recipe data includes adjustments made with the tool palette ([RAW],
[RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO]). For this reason, other editing content
such as trimming or dust-erasure (copy stamp) is not included in the
recipe data.

O Recipes adjusted with the [RAW] tool palette can only be applied

to RAW images

Adjustments in the [RAW] tool palette, which can only be made for
RAW images, are not applied to a JPEG or TIFF image even if they
are pasted.

Batch Save as JPEG or TIFF Images (Batch Processing)

In the [Batch settings] window, you cannot perform [Save] or [Save As]

(p.37, p.100) to edited RAW images.

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 differing 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 dat a 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, it is recommended that you convert and
save images as JPEG image or TIFF images.

O While saving is being performed, you can continue working in

another window

Since the saving function operates independently in the background,
you can continue with an operation in another window such as the
main window or the edit window during the saving process.

O To convert all images and save, do not select an image in the

main window

If you do not perform step 1 and perform step 2 with no image
selected in the main window, all the images displayed in the main
window will be converted and saved.

[Save] cannot be performed

T o save the developing/editing results for the version you are currently using

Skillful batch saving

O If you have selected [New file name] in [File name], [Sequence

number] has to be set.

O By saving as explained on this page, a trimmed image (p.35,

p.94) or dust-erased image (p.63 to p.67, p.96 to p.100) actually

becomes a trimmed image or dust-erased image.

O For a list of [Batch settings] window functions, refer to p.117.

You can batch convert and save edited RAW images to highly versatile
JPEG or TIFF images.

The images are saved as separate images, so the RA W images remain
unaffected.

JPEG, TIFF image data

About the RGB Tool Palette

With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as
RAW images using the [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palettes.

Because adjustment made with the tool palette (recipe) 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.

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 the [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.91) and
automatic adjustment (p.87), we recommend adjusting RAW images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.

made with the tool palette can be saved in the image as data called a

images as a separate recipe file (extension “.vrd”) (p.79, p.101).

O Standard: Standard automatic adjustment. Suitable for most

images.

O High: Use when the effect achieved in standard automatic

adjustment is not strong enough.

Images not suitable for automatic adjustment (tone curve
assist)

The result of automatic adjustment (tone curve assist) may not be as
expected with the following images:

• Images which have been shot with the proper exposure

• 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.90).

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.101).

O Check 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 image becomes a dust-erased image when saved as a

separate image

The dust-erased JPEG or TIFF image actually becomes a dust­erased image when saved as a separate image (p.101).
