Introduction
Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter, “DPP”) is a high-performance
RAW image processing, viewing and editing software for EOS 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. 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”.
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. 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”.
When is RAW Development done?
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.
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 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. 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”.

Drag the slider left or right
About the Tool Palette
You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] 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 are saved to an image as data called a “Recipe”
¿ The image brightness changes in real time according to the amount of adjustments.

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
By saving as explained on this page, a trimmed image (p.38)
or dust-erased image explained in Chapter 3
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
.
O You can batch convert and save multiple images
O For a list of [Convert and save] window functions, see
.

Re-Editing an Image
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted with the tool palette
, so the “original image data itself” remains unaffected.
Also, the trimming range information of a trimmed image
saved to the image.
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.41)
to the image, trimming information, and revert to the condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.

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.
59
About the RGB Tool Palette
You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] 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 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
(p.58) and automatic adjustment
images using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
See 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.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tool palette
(p.132) when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer
noise (p.62) or correcting aberration
after you have made any required adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.
60
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-1D X,
EOS-1D C, EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 5D Mark II, EOS
6D, EOS 7D, EOS 70D, EOS 60D, EOS 50D, EOS 700D, EOS 100D,
EOS 650D, EOS 600D, EOS 550D, EOS 500D, EOS 1200D, EOS
1100D, EOS M2 and EOS M.
* ALO stands for Auto Lighting Optimizer.

¿ Auto correction is applied to the image to match the settings.
O For images shot with the camera’s Auto Lighting Optimizer function, the settings at the time of shooting are applied as the default values.
O To cancel the Auto Lighting Optimizer, remove the check mark from the checkbox.
O When [Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable] in EOS-1D X,
EOS-1D C, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 6D, EOS 7D, EOS 70D, EOS
60D, EOS 700D, EOS 100D, EOS 650D, EOS 600D, EOS 550D,
EOS 1200D, EOS 1100D, EOS M2 and EOS M, the Auto Lighting
Optimizer function cannot be set.
O You cannot use the Auto Lighting Optimizer with multipleexposure RAW images created on the camera.

(p.92) is set to [High speed] in the [Preferences] window.
Select [High quality] to reduce noise.
To set the same noise reduction level for several images
After selecting multiple images in the main window, you can set the same noise reduction level for the images without displaying the [NR
Preview] window, by adjusting the noise reduction level in the [NR/ALO]
using the [Luminance noise reduction] and
[Chrominance noise reduction] sliders, and then clicking the [Apply] button.
O You can set the default noise reduction beforehand, using
[Default noise reduction settings] in the [Tool palette] tab sheet in the [Preferences]
.
• 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 [NR Preview] window functions, see
62
Correcting Lens Aberration
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.
Please note that you can only correct RAW images which have been taken with the compatible cameras and lenses listed below. JPEG or
TIFF images cannot be corrected.

Making Corrections
You can make corrections to any of the four aberrations as below, either one at a time or simultaneously.
O Peripheral illumination
O Chromatic aberration (color fringing which occurs in the periphery of an image)
O Color blur (blue or red color blur which sometimes occurs at the edge of the highlighted area of an image)
O Distortions
1
2
In the tool palette, select the [LENS] tab sheet.
Click the [Tune] button.
3
Checkmark the items to be corrected.
¿ The [Lens aberration correction] window appears.
¿ The image is corrected and redisplayed.
O Check the results of corrections to peripheral illumination or distortions in the full view.
O Check the results of corrections to chromatic aberration and color blur by clicking the area on the image you want to check. In the top right of the window, the area is displayed at 200% in the enlargement display section
.
O You can lessen the degree of correction by moving the slider to the left for the item you want to correct.
O You can respectively correct red chromatic aberration with the [R] slider of the [Chromatic aberration] or blue chromatic aberration with the [B] slider.
O To correct distortion aberration of images shot with a fisheye lens
(EF8 – 15mm f/4L USM Fisheye or EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye), four effects can be selected from the [Effect] list box in addition to
[Shot settings] normally used for distortion correction.
The level of an effect can be adjusted with the adjustment slider located below [Distortion].
For detailed information on each effect, see “Effects of Distortion
Aberration Correction for Fisheye Lenses”
.
65
O For images shot with EF8 – 15mm f/4L USM Fisheye, a fine-tune slider is also displayed when you select [Emphasize Linearity] from the [Effect] list box.
Adjust the amount of correction for distortion aberration with the adjustment slider, and then adjust with the fine-tune slider if more adjustment is required.
O When the list box for selecting an extender is displayed, select the extender attached at the time of shooting from the list box.

¿ In the main window, the [ ] mark is displayed on the image to
indicate the lens aberration corrections (p.129)
.
Effects of Distortion Aberration Correction for
Fisheye Lenses
O Shot settings
By selecting this option, only distortion aberration correction for correcting optical distortion is performed.
O Emphasize Linearity
This converts the image to a “central projection” style image. This projection method is used with general lenses.
Differing from fisheye lenses, central projection displays straight lines as straight lines. By selecting this option, a wide-view panoramic image can be obtained. However, the periphery is stretched, resulting in decreased resolution.
66
O Emphasize Distance
This converts the image to an “equidistant projection" style image.
This projection method preserves distance relationships.
Equidistant projection displays the same distances from the center to the periphery as the same distances. In particular, when shooting a celestial body such as the celestial sphere, any height above the horizon (declination) is captured at an equal interval. This method is therefore used in such photography as celestial photography (star maps, solar path diagrams, etc.).
O Emphasize Center
This converts the image to an “orthogonal 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.
O 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.
While selecting any of the options [Emphasize Linearity],
[Emphasize Distance], [Emphasize Periphery], or [Emphasize
Center] will yield results similar to each of the projection methods, the conversion does not exactly apply each projection method in their precise sense.
Accordingly, care should be taken since they are not suited to scientific or other such purposes.
67
About Shooting Distance Information Slider
O When correcting RAW images shot with the cameras in the table below, 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.
The distance cannot be minutely adjusted by using the slider for images shot with an EF-M lens. (The slider is not displayed.)

Correcting Multiple Images at a Time
Select multiple images to correct in the main window. Display tool palette by clicking the [Tool Palette] button
in the toolbar. If you
perform correction procedures (p.65)
when tool palette is displayed, you can apply the same corrections to all the images selected in the main window.
Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images
Additional information
O 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.62)
. 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.
O 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
O 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.30)
and/or the color saturation (p.110)
to make the color deeper.
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 conditions do not match, correction cannot be made.
The periphery of the image may be truncated when [Distortion] correction is made.
For a list of the [Lens aberration correction] window functions, see

Using the Digital Lens Optimizer
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 that are unavoidable as long as light must pass through the lens. These optical phenomena cannot be corrected under [Lens aberration correction]
. 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 cameras” and “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.

General Settings
You can specify the folder that opens when DPP is started up, image quality of displayed and saved RAW images, etc.
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.62) 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
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. However, you can use the noise reduction function.
O As the setting is the same as [High quality] other than for image display, the image undergoes false color reduction processing when it is saved.
[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, and the time it takes to save a RAW image is shorter than with [High quality].
O
You cannot use the noise reduction function (p.62)
.
O Depending on the image, it may be displayed/saved with false color or noise being noticeable.
For images shot with ISO speed range expansion set, the difference in image quality between [High quality] and [High speed] becomes remarkable. To check the image quality of images shot with ISO speed range expansion, make sure to set [High quality] and check the images in the edit window or edit image window.
92
O
JPEG image quality
[Remove block noise and mosquito noise]
O You can improve the quality of a JPEG image by reducing the noise particular to JPEG images.
This setting is also effective when RAW images are converted to
JPEG images and saved
and for JPEG images that have been saved with a different name.
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.
O
Default value of output resolution
You can set the resolution for RAW images converted and saved as
JPEG or TIFF images
.
View Settings
You can specify settings relating to the display.
93
O
Sort order in main window
You can set the order of images which have been rearranged in the
main window to be maintained or not maintained (p.21)
.
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.
O
Highlight/shadow warning
Highlighted/shaded areas that exceed the set range can be displayed on the image as warning indicators
Tool Palette
You can specify settings for the tool palette.
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.
94
O
Modified Picture Style settings
You can select whether the [Color tone], [Color saturation], [Contrast],
[Unsharp mask] and [Sharpness] settings will be changed accordingly or retained, when you change the Picture Style.
O If you checkmark the checkbox, the [Color tone], [Color saturation],
[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 change the Picture Style.
O
Default noise reduction settings
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-open the folder after making 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.
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.
Color Management
You can specify settings relating to color management, such as settings for work color space, conditions for color matching, etc.
95
O
Default settings of Work color space
You can select from five types of color space
that is applied as a default setting in RAW images. Color space that has been set is applied as the color space when a RAW image is converted and saved
or printed
(p.43, p.46, p.49, p.87 to p.91)
.
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 main window
the edit window
and the edit image
.
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.
You can set a color space that is different from the default settings for each image
O
Display setting (color setting of the monitor)
Where a profile
(p.146) 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 will also be applied in DPP.
If you are using multiple monitors, only the profile of the primary monitor is applied to DPP.
O Select the [Monitor profile], click the [Browse] button and in the dialog box that appears, select a profile for your monitor.
Precise coloring with a third-party monitor color reader
If you use a profile created using a third-party monitor color reader, images can be displayed in even more precise colors.
O
Setting of printing profile (color setting of the printer)
Where a profile is not 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 in DPP. The profile that has been set is applied to all printing
except for linked printing using a
Canon inkjet printer
.
If you specify a profile for printing in DPP, set the color adjustment function of the printer driver to off. If it is left on, the image may be printed 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
or using linked printing
, a profile is set automatically even when the
[Printing profile] setting is not performed. This allows you to print faithful colors easily.
96
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.147)
and perform simulation on screen.
O When CMYK simulation has been set, [CMYK] appears
at 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.147) for printing
using Easy-PhotoPrint
.
O The rendering intent is ordinarily set to [Relative Colorimetric].
O When colors with [Relative Colorimetric] are not satisfactory, set to
[Perceptual].

To save the developing/editing results for the version you are currently using
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 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.
Skillful batch saving
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.

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/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.
JPEG, TIFF image data
Image processing conditions information
Contents adjusted using the tool palette can be handled individually as a recipe file
(extension “.vrd”)
.
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 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.111) and
automatic adjustment (p.107) , we recommend adjusting RAW images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
In DPP all the adjustments (image processing conditions information) made with the tool palette can be saved in the image as data called a
“recipe”
, or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other images as a separate recipe file (extension “.vrd”)
.
106
Automatically Adjusting Brightness and Color (Tone Curve Assist)
In order to make the image a desirable standard image, automatically
adjust the image tone curve (p.146) . You can select the degree of
automatic adjustment from “Standard” and “High”.
Click the desired automatic adjustment button.
O Standard: Standard automatic adjustment. Suitable for most images.
O High: Use when the effect achieved in standard automatic adjustment is not strong enough.
Reverts the tone curve to the original settings
High
Standard
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.110)
.
¿ The tone curve changes as adjusted.
107
Adjusting Brightness and Contrast
The brightness and contrast of an image can be adjusted.
Drag the sliders left or right
Enter numerical values
O Brightness: Move the slider to the right to make an image brighter and to the left to make an image darker.
O Contrast: Used to adjust modulation and degree of contrast of color. Move the slider to the right to make contrast of an image stronger and to the left to make contrast weaker.
The adjustment range is –100 to +100 (in 1-stop increments when entering a value).
108
Adjusting Color Tone Using Click White Balance
You can adjust white balance using a selected part of an image as the standard for white to make the image appear natural. Using click white balance is effective when using it in parts of an image where white color tone has changed under the influence of a light source.

O If you click on another point in the image, the white balance is adjusted again.
O To finish click white balance, right-click with the mouse or click the [ ] button again.
When there are no white areas in your image
When there are no white areas in your image, you can adjust the white balance by clicking on a grey point of the image in step 2. This has the same adjustment result as selecting a white point.
O The image is adjusted based on the average value of 5 × 5 pixel range from the clicked point.
O The histogram display changes according to adjustment. You can also fix the histogram display to the display before any
.
109
Adjusting Hue, Saturation and Sharpness
You can adjust hue (tone) and saturation and make the overall atmosphere of an image sharper or softer.
O Hue: Move the slider to the right to make color tones more yellow, and to the left to make color tones redder.
O Saturation: Move the slider to the right to make the color deeper, and to the left to make the color weaker.
O Sharpness: Move the slider to the right to make an image sharper, and to the left to make an image softer.
Enter numerical values
Drag the sliders left or right
Sharpness is unnatural
Adjust sharpness with the window view set to [100% view], [50% view] or [200% view]. If the view is set to [Fit to window] (full view), the sharpness will seem unnatural.
The adjustment range is –30 to 30 for hue, 0 to 200 for saturation, and 0 to 500 for sharpness (in 1-stop increments when entering a value).

as well as the trimmed range
information can be saved to a JPEG or TIFF image, or to a separate
JPEG or TIFF image.
Select the [File] menu
`
desired item.
¿ Your adjustments are saved to the image.
Saving as a Separate Image
If a JPEG or TIFF image is adjusted with the tool palette
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
(recipe) applied to it.
Furthermore, if a trimmed image
is also saved in the same way, it actually becomes a trimmed or dust-erased image.
O Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image
O
Batch save as JPEG or TIFF images (batch processing) (p.102)
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.
Applying Editing Contents to Another Image
You can copy the adjustment contents (recipe) of JPEG and TIFF images that have been adjusted with the tool palette and apply them to another image with the procedures below, in the same way as with RAW images.

Re-Editing an Image
Only the image processing conditions are changed in images adjusted with the tool palette
, so the “original image data itself” remains unaffected. Also, the trimming range or dust-erasure
information of a trimmed image (p.114)
or dust-erased image
is simply saved to the image.
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.122)
to the image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.

Troubleshooting
If DPP is not operating correctly, refer to the items below.
Installation could not be completed correctly
O Select an administrator-level privilege ([Computer administrator],
[Administrator], etc.) as a user setting. You cannot install the software if a user setting other than an administrator-level privilege is selected.
For detailed information on selecting an administrator-level privilege, refer to your computer User’s Manual.
DPP does not work
O DPP does not operate correctly on a computer if its system requirements are not met. Use DPP on a computer with compatible system requirements
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). Exit any applications other than DPP.
The card reader does not detect the SD card
O Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards might not be correctly detected. In such a case, connect your camera and computer with the provided interface cable, and transfer the images to your computer using EOS Utility (provided software).
Images are not displayed properly
O Images that are not supported by DPP are not displayed. There are various types of JPEG and TIFF images, so JPEG images other than
Exif 2.2, 2.21 or 2.3 compatible images and TIFF images other than
Exif compatible images may not display properly (p.3)
.
O When a dust-erased image
(p.75 to p.79, p.117 to p.121)
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.
An image could not be adjusted
O The JPEG and TIFF images cannot be adjusted using the image adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette. Adjust these images
with the [RGB] tool palette (p.131)
.
O PowerShot Pro1 RAW images cannot be adjusted with the image adjustment function of the [RAW] tool palette. Adjust these images
with the [RGB] tool palette (p.131)
.
A recipe could not be pasted (applied) to another image
O You cannot paste (apply) rotation
(p.10, p.25, p.127, p.135, p.136)
, trimming
, dust erasure (copy stamp)
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 [RAW] tool palette cannot be applied to JPEG or
O The Auto Lighting Optimizer
is a function that is only available for RAW images shot with EOS-1D X, EOS-1D C, EOS-1D Mark IV,
EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 6D, EOS 7D, EOS 70D, EOS
60D, EOS 50D, EOS 700D, EOS 100D, EOS 650D, EOS 600D, EOS
550D, EOS 500D, EOS 1200D, EOS 1100D, EOS M2 and EOS M.
You cannot apply the Auto Lighting Optimizer’s adjustment contents to RAW images shot with other cameras.
Color appears weak in the image when viewed with other software
O A RAW image which has a color space other than sRGB set
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.
125
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.95)
and a profile for a printer is set up correctly
(p.95) , the color of a printed photograph and the color
of an image on screen can be more closely matched. Using a Canon printer
or linked printing
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 using 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.47)
.
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
O If a large number of images are printed in batches, printing may stop in the middle or the images may not be printed. Reduce the number of images to print or increase the memory on your computer.
A file remains in the folder after images are deleted
O Delete [CRW_YYYY.THM] (camera index display image) if it remains
in the folder from which images have been deleted (p.49)
.
* Numbers are entered for [YYYY] in the file name.
The image information does not display
O A JPEG image set to Adobe RGB and shot with EOS 10D, EOS 300D
DIGITAL and PowerShot Pro1 may not display image information
Deleting the Software (Uninstalling)
O Exit any applications before uninstalling the software.
O Log in under an administrator-level privilege when uninstalling the software.
O To prevent computer malfunctions, always restart your computer after you have uninstalled the software. Re-installing the software without first restarting your computer is particularly likely to result in computer malfunctions.

Glossary
RAW image
EOS 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, even for 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 when viewed on a monitor and when 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.
146
Color space
A color space is the reproducible color range (color gamut characteristics). DPP supports the following five kinds of color space.
sRGB : Standard color space for Windows. Widely used for the standard color space of monitors, digital cameras, and scanners.
Adobe RGB :
Apple RGB :
A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes.
Standard color space for Macintosh. A slightly wider color space than sRGB.
ColorMatch RGB : A slightly wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes.
Wide Gamut RGB : A wider color space than Adobe RGB.
Refer to the color chart below for the color area of each color space.

CMYK simulation profiles
A profile that simulates colors when printing in a CMYK environment
(printing machine, etc.). With DPP, you can simulate color with four types of profile.
Euro Standard : Profile normally used for book printing in
Europe, suitable for simulation of standard
European printing.
JMPA :
U.S.Web Coated :
Profile normally used for book printing, etc. in
Japan, suitable for simulation of magazine advertising standard color printing.
Profile normally used for book printing in
North America, suitable for simulation of
North American standard printing.
JapanColor2001 type3 : Profile becoming a standard in the Japanese printing industry, suitable for simulation of
JapanColor standard printing.
Rendering intent
Rendering intents are color conversion methods when printing an image.
The conversion method of each rendering intent is shown below.
Perceptual : Before and after conversion, all colors are converted to maintain the relationship between colors. Even where colors slightly change, you can print a natural-looking image which has maintained color harmony. However, depending on the image, the saturation may change overall.
Relative Colorimetric : There will not be much conversion to colors which are similar before and after conversion, but colors which are not similar are converted appropriately. Because there are little changes to similar colors which comprise most of an image, you can print a natural-looking image in which the saturation has not changed greatly.
However, depending on the image, there are cases where the overall tone of an image changes somewhat as colors which are not similar and highlights change.
