RAW Images Introduction RAW Images Advantages of 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”.
Editing JPEG and TIFF Images Introduction With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as RAW images using the tool palettes below. • Tone Adjustment tool palette • Color Adjustment tool palette • Detailed Adjustment tool palette • Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette • Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette • Settings tool palette Because adjustments made with these tool palettes (the recipe) only change the image processing conditions, the “original image data itself” remains unaffected.
Tool Palettes 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.
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Basic Adjustment Tool Palette The Basic Adjustment tool palette makes basic adjustments to RAW images. With this tool palette, you can adjust the image brightness, set Picture Style, adjust the white balance, adjust the contrast, adjust the color tone and saturation, adjust the dynamic range, apply the Auto Lighting Optimizer and adjust the image sharpness.
Introduction 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.47) with [Monochrome] (p.80) selected, you can still change to another Picture Style at any point by simply selecting a Picture Style other than [Monochrome]. () Reverts the image to the original settings Standard Select The image looks vivid.
Introduction Adjusting Color Tone by Changing White Balance Advanced Using a Picture Style File A Picture Style file is a Picture Style extension file. With DPP, you can apply to RAW images Picture Style files that you have downloaded from Canon Web site effective 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 The color of the image is adjusted with the point you selected as the standard for white. If you click on another point in the image, the white balance is adjusted again. To finish click white balance, click the [ ] button again. 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.
Introduction Advanced Advanced Adjusting White Balance with Color Temperature Tuning White Balance White balance can be adjusted by setting a numerical value for color temperature. 1 2 Set the color temperature. Select [Color temperature] from the [White balance adjustment] list box. Contents This is a function that makes fine adjustments to the white balance. Using this function, you can achieve the same effects as third-party color temperature conversion filters and color correction filters.
Introduction Advanced Adjusting Contrast Modulation and degree of contrast can be adjusted. Move the slider to the right to make contrast stronger and to the left to make contrast weaker. Adjusting Brightness of Shadows/Highlights You can adjust the brightness of shadows and highlights in an image. By adjusting only shadows or highlights in an image, you can reduce the effects of clipping in shadows and highlights.
Introduction Adjusting Monochrome Changing Color Tone and Color Saturation When the Picture Style (p.42) is set to [Monochrome], you can create monochrome photographs with effects similar to filtering, or with a look of monotone color photograph. Tone and overall color saturation can be adjusted. If Picture Style (p.42) is set to [Monochrome], [Color tone] and [Color saturation] switch to [Filter effect] and [Toning effect] (this page).
Introduction 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 [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. White points, midpoint, and black points in the [Gamma adjustment] panel as well as [Highlight] and [Shadow] in the [Advanced] panel are adjusted automatically. Settings that are reset and those that are not with this adjustment are as follows.
Introduction Using the Auto Lighting Optimizer Contents 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 favorable image. You can also change the setting of the image shot with the camera’s Auto Lighting Optimizer function. This function also can be used for JPEG/TIFF images in addition to RAW images. * ALO stands for Auto Lighting Optimizer.
Introduction Select [Sharpness] from the list box and adjust the setting. Adjusting Image Sharpness You can make the overall atmosphere of an image sharper or softer. Adjustment can be made by selecting from two modes, [Sharpness] and [Unsharp mask]. Controls the sharpness of an image by adjusting the level of emphasis for the outline of the image. The further to the right the [Sharpness] slider is moved (the larger the setting value), the more the edges are emphasized for a sharper image.
Introduction Detailed Setting of Image Sharpness Select [Unsharp mask] from the list box and adjust the setting. Contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Downloading Images Viewing Images Sorting Images C Select [Unsharp mask] Enter a setting (in 0.1-stop increments) Drag the slider left or right Y P O Editing Images Printing Images Processing Large Numbers of RAW Images Remote Shooting Specifying Preferences Reference/ Index Adjust image sharpness with the window view set to [400%], [200%] or [100%].
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Tone Adjustment Tool Palette With the Tone Adjustment tool palette, you can adjust images with the same functions as general image editing software. 1 Select an image in the main window, etc. 2 Display the Tone Adjustment tool palette. Introduction Adjusting Brightness and Contrast The brightness and contrast of an image can be adjusted.
Introduction Brightness: Move the slider to the right to make an image brighter and to the left to make an image darker. 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. 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.
Introduction 2 Click on a point that is to be the standard for white. Advanced Adjusting Tone Curve You can adjust the brightness, contrast and color of a specific area by changing the tone curve (p.117). 1 Select the tone curve mode and interpolation method.
Introduction 2 Make adjustments.

The maximum number of [ ] is 8. To delete a [ ], double-click on the [ ].
Introduction The setting range of black points is 0 to 247 (in 1-stop increments when entering a value). The setting range of white points is 8 to 255 (in 1-stop increments when entering a value). You can display pre- and post-editing histograms (p.56). Advanced Adjusting Dynamic Range Dynamic range (width of gradation expression) from dark points to bright points in an image can be adjusted.
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Color Adjustment Tool Palette With the Color Adjustment tool palette, you can adjust the hue, saturation and luminance in a specific color gamut for 8 color gamuts (red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple and magenta). You can also adjust the hue and saturation for the entire image. 1 2 Display the Color Adjustment tool palette. Select an image in the main window, etc.
Introduction Adjusting hue and saturation for an entire image Contents Use the sliders to make adjustments. You can also make adjustments by directly entering a numeric value. Hue: Move the slider to the right to make color tones more yellowish, and to the left to make color tones more reddish. Saturation:Adjusts the overall color intensity for the image. Move the slider to the right for more intense colors, and to the left for less intense colors.
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Detailed Adjustment Tool Palette You can use the Detailed Adjustment tool palette to reduce the noise that occurs in images shot at night or at high ISO settings. This tool palette can also be used in conjunction with the sharpness adjustment functions. Note that you can use the functions in this tool palette with JPEG and TIFF images as well as RAW images. Introduction Reducing Noise You can reduce noise that arises in images shot at night or with a high ISO speed.
Introduction Adjusting Image Sharpness Setting the same noise reduction level for several images You can set the same noise reduction level for several images by first selecting multiple images in the main window, and then adjusting the noise reduction level using the [Reduce luminance noise] and [Reduce chrominance noise] sliders. You can also use this palette to adjust the image sharpness.
JPEG/TIFF Editing with the Trimming/Angle Adjustment Tool Palette If you click [Center on Screen], you can display the trimming range in the center of the window. When correcting lens aberrations, it is recommended to perform lens aberration correction before adjusting the angle of the image. If you have only adjusted the angle of the image, the image will be cropped at the largest possible trimming range.
Introduction List of aspect ratios (width : height) Cropped images [Free]: You can crop an image to any size, regardless of the selectable ratio. [Custom]: You can crop an image at the specified ratio. 5 Return to the main window. The trimming range frame is displayed in the cropped image. (p.116) When the cropped image is displayed in a preview window or the edit image window, it is displayed in its cropped form.

Introduction Making Corrections You can make corrections to any of the four 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 1 the Lens Correction tool palette and 2 Display checkmark the items to be corrected. Select an image in the main window.
Introduction 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.
Introduction 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. By selecting this option, the center is stretched and may result in decreased resolution.
Introduction Correcting Multiple Images at a Time 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.67). Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the corrected image and pasting it onto the multiple images (p.84).
