Tool Palettes
With DPP, you can adjust images with the tool palettes by switching
between various tool palette windows according to your editing
requirements. Since adjustments made with the tool palettes only
change the image processing conditions, the “original image data itself”
remains unaffected. As there is no image deterioration that normally
accompanies editing, you can readjust your image any number of times.
The various functions of the tool palettes are explained in more detail
under the respective topics.

 Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette

 Lens Correction tool palette

 Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette

 Settings tool palette

We recommend that you use the Basic Adjustment tool palette to make
adjustments to RAW images. However, if you find that the Basic
Adjustment tool palette does not offer a sufficient range of adjustments,
or if you want to use specific functions that are only available in the Tone
Adjustment tool palette (p.56), completing initial adjustments with the
Basic Adjustment tool palette and then using the Tone Adjustment tool
palette to make just the minimum of adjustments needed is
recommended.
For noise reduction (p.63) and lens aberration correction (p.71), you
should first complete necessary adjustments in the Basic Adjustment
and Tone Adjustment tool palettes, and then adjust with the Detailed
Adjustment tool palette (p.63) and Lens Correction tool palette (p.68).
