RAW Images RAW Images 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”.
Editing JPEG and TIFF Images With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as RAW images using the tool palettes below.
Tool Palettes Introduction/ Contents 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.
Introduction/ Contents 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.
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Basic Adjustment Tool Palette The Basic Adjustment tool palette makes basic adjustments to RAW images.

Introduction/ Contents Picture Style Changing the Picture Style If the image looks different from what you visualized at the time of shooting, you can get it closer to what you expected by changing the Picture Style. Even if you have saved the image (p.92) with [Monochrome] (p.54) selected, you can still change to another Picture Style at any point by simply selecting a Picture Style other than [Monochrome].
Introduction/ Contents Picture Style Description [Picture Style file The name of the Picture Style file applied in DPP is applied in DPP] displayed in [ ]. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Downloading Images Displayed when selecting an image shot with the (Picture Style file Picture Style file registered in the camera. registered in the In the list, the name of the Picture Style file is camera) displayed in ( ).

When using a Picture Style file, save it to your computer beforehand.
Introduction/ Contents 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. The color of the image is adjusted with the point you selected as the standard for white.
Introduction/ Contents Advanced Advanced Adjusting White Balance with Color Temperature Tuning White Balance White balance can be adjusted by setting a numerical value for color temperature.

Reverts the image to the original settings Adjusting Monochrome When the Picture Style (p.48) is set to [Monochrome], you can create monochrome photographs with effects similar to filtering, or with a look of monotone color photograph.
Introduction/ Contents Filter effect: Creates a monochrome photograph where the white of clouds and the green of trees are emphasized. Filter Example of effect None General monochrome image without filter effect. Yellow Blue sky is reproduced more naturally and white clouds emerge clearly. Orange Blue sky becomes somewhat darker. The brightness of the setting sun increases further. Red Blue sky becomes quite dark. Autumn leaves become clear and bright.
Introduction/ Contents [Linear] - A function for advanced adjustment Use [Linear] when you adjust images using image editing software that has advanced editing functions. Note that when [Linear] is checkmarked, the image becomes dim. [Contrast], [Highlight], [Shadow], and [Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.57) will not function when [Linear] is checkmarked.

Note that the lens aberration correction functions and the Digital Lens Optimizer can only be used with RAW images. 1 Select an image in the main window, etc.
Introduction/ Contents Making Corrections You can make corrections to any of the five aberrations as below, either one at a time or simultaneously. Peripheral illumination Chromatic aberration (color fringing which occurs in the periphery of an image) Color blur (blue or red color blur which sometimes occurs at the edge of the highlighted area of an image) Distortions Diffraction Select an image in the main window.
Introduction/ Contents 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 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.
Introduction/ Contents Emphasize Center 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.
Introduction/ Contents Correcting Multiple Images at a Time You can apply the same corrections to several images by first selecting multiple images in the main window, and then performing correction procedures (p.73). Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images (p.96).

HDR PQ Mode System Requirements for HDR PQ Mode HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to technology that enables expression of “a wider range of brightness” than with the conventional range. The conventional range of brightness is referred to as SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) = “standard brightness range” when compared to HDR. The “PQ” in this function’s name, HDR PQ, stands for Perceptual Quantization and refers to the gamma curve of the input signal for displaying HDR images.

Saving Images Displayed in HDR PQ Mode in JPEG/TIFF Format You can save the editing results of images displayed in HDR PQ mode in the same way as SDR images. See “Saving Editing Results” (p.92) for information on how to save images. When saving an image displayed in HDR PQ mode as a separate image (JPEG or TIFF image), it is saved as an SDR image. The image is processed so that it approximates display in HDR PQ on an HDR display as much as possible.

Glossary Introduction/ Contents RAW image bit number EOS DIGITAL 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.
Introduction/ Contents Color space CMYK simulation profiles 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 : A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes. Apple RGB : Standard color space for Macintosh. A slightly wider color space than sRGB.
