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”.
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”.
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.
RAW Images
RAW Development
When RAW Development is to be Done
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. Therefore, it is the
perfect data for users who want to get creative with the images after
shooting, as you do not have to worry about image deterioration.
In DPP, the “Image processing conditions information” that can be
adjusted is called a “Recipe” (p.88).
In DPP, all the adjustments (image processing conditions information)
made with the tool palettes can be saved in the image as data called a
“recipe” (p.89), or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other
images as a separate recipe file (extension “.dr4”, p.90). However, a
recipe file with saved RAW image adjustments cannot be applied to
JPEG or TIFF images.

Contents adjusted using the tool
palettes can be handled

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.
• 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. Consequently, there is none of the image
deterioration that normally accompanies editing and you can readjust
your image any number of times.
In DPP, all the adjustments (image processing conditions information)
made with the tool palettes can be saved in the image as data called a
“recipe” (p.89), or can be saved, downloaded and applied to other
images as a separate recipe file (extension “.dr4”, p.90). However,

applied to RAW images.

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

-Trimming/Angle Adjustment tool palette
Crops an image and adjusts the image angle (p.67).
-Lens Correction tool palette
Corrects lens aberration in the image (p.70) and applies the Digital

-Dust Delete/Copy Stamp tool palette
Erases dust from an image and corrects image by copying sections
of the image (p.78).
-Settings tool palette
Configures the work color space (p.83).
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.58), 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.65) 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.65) and Lens Correction tool palette (p.70).

Adjustment can be made by selecting from two modes, [Sharpness] and
[Unsharp mask].
[Sharpness]: Controls the sharpness of an image by adjusting the
level of emphasis for the outline of the image. The

larger the setting value), the more the edges are
emphasized for a sharper image.
[Unsharp mask]: Adjusts the image’s sharpness more finely.
[Strength]: Shows the level of emphasis for the outline of the
image. The further to the right the slider is moved (the
larger the setting value), the more the image’s edges
are emphasized for a sharper image.
[Fineness]: Shows the fineness of the emphasized outline. The
further to the left the slider is moved (the smaller the
setting), the easier it becomes to emphasize fine
details.
[Threshold]: Sets “how much contrast difference there should be
compared to surroundings before emphasizing
edges”.

Editing with the Lens Correction Tool Palette
With the Lens Correction tool palette, you can use the lens aberration
correction functions and the Digital Lens Optimizer to correct lens
aberration in your images and to improve their resolution. This tool
palette can also be used in conjunction with the sharpness adjustment
functions. 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.
2
Display the Lens Correction tool palette.
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.
You can only correct aberration in RAW images which have been shot
with compatible lenses. JPEG or TIFF images cannot be corrected.
Note that even though the EOS 20D/EOS 20Da and EOS DIGITAL
REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL are EOS DIGITAL cameras supporting the
Digital Photo Professional, they are not compatible with the lens
aberration correction function. Also, note that the lens aberration
correction function is compatible with the EOS 5D with the firmware
version 1.1.1 and the EOS 30D with the firmware version 1.0.6.
Correcting Lens Aberration
To use this function, the EOS Lens Registration Tool (version 1.4.20
or later) must be installed.

-
To correct distortion aberration of images shot with a fisheye lens
(EF 8
–
15mm f/4L USM Fisheye or EF 15mm 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
Correction for Fisheye Lenses” (p.72).
-
For images shot with EF 8
–
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.

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 Linearity
This converts the image to a “central projection” style image. This
projection method is employed for general lenses.
Since central projection displays straight lines as straight lines, a
wide-view panoramic image can be obtained by selecting this option.
However, the periphery is stretched, resulting in decreased resolution.
-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. This
method is therefore used in such photography as celestial
photography (star maps, solar path diagrams, etc.).
-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.

-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.
When selecting any of the options, [Emphasize Linearity],
[Emphasize Distance], [Emphasize Periphery], or [Emphasize
Center], it will yield results similar to that of the selected projection
method. However, the conversion does not really apply a change of
projection method in a strict sense.
Accordingly, be aware that they are not suited for scientific or other
such purposes.
-
When correcting RAW images and 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.
-
When correcting RAW images shot with the cameras in the table
below, it is set automatically to the right end at infinity position. You
can then minutely adjust the distance by operating the slider while
looking at the screen if the shooting distance is not infinite.
-
For RAW images shot with MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo or EF
50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro with Life Size Converter EF, the slider
indicator changes to [Magnification factor].
-
The [Shooting distance information] slider is applied to all the
correction items with check marks.
-
If the lens requires no adjustment with the [Shooting distance
information] slider, the slider cannot be used.

procedures (p.71).
Also, you can apply same corrections by copying the recipe of the

-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.65). 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.
-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
(p.66).
-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.52) and/or the color saturation (p.64) to
make the color deeper.
-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.
Additional information
Correcting Multiple Images at a Time
The periphery of the image may be truncated when [Distortion]
correction is made.
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.
These optical phenomena cannot be corrected under Lens aberration
correction (p.70). Correction is achieved using the designed value of
each lens. You can correct these optical phenomena in RAW images
which have been shot with 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.
Note that even though the EOS 20D/EOS 20Da and EOS DIGITAL
REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL are EOS DIGITAL cameras supporting the
Digital Photo Professional, they are not compatible with the Digital Lens
Optimizer. Also, note that the Digital Lens Optimizer is compatible with

step 5 once, they may be erased completely when you click several
times.
-Mainly spots of dust can be erased with the repair function
Spots of dust can be erased with the repair function. You may be

function (p.82).
-The dust-erased image can be reverted to its original condition
at any time
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 [ ] button in

an Image” procedure (p.87).
-Printing dust-erased images
You can print as a dust-erased image by printing it in DPP.

shortcut keys
You can also switch between full screen display/normal screen
display by pressing the <Alt> + <Enter> keys.
Useful functions of the copy stamp window
For images shot with ISO speed range expansion set, noticeable
noise may make it difficult to view dust spots in the copy stamp
window, so using this function is not recommended.

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 different 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, saving the image as a separate file (p.85)
is recommended.
To save the developing/editing results for the version you are
currently using
-
By saving as a separate JPEG or TIFF image as explained
above, some image deterioration that accompanies editing/saving
occurs as when editing with general image editing software.
-
By saving as explained above, a trimmed image (p.67) or dust-
erased image (p.78 to p.82) actually becomes a trimmed image
or dust-erased image.
-
You can batch convert and save multiple images (p.117).

Re-Editing an Image

remains unaffected. (The trimming range or dust-erasure information of
a cropped image (p.67) or dust-erased image (p.78 to p.82) is simply

For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved (p.85) to the
image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the
condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.

Creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images
You can create images with a wide dynamic range where clipping in
highlights and shadows has been reduced, and images that appear like
paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-lifes and landscapes.
This function is most effective when using three images with different
exposures for the same scene (negative exposure, standard exposure,
positive exposure) to create an HDR image. However, you can also
create an HDR image from two images, or even only one.
Since an HDR image is saved as a separate image, the original images
remain as they are.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Using the Dual Pixel RAW Optimizer
By setting the Dual Pixel RAW function on the camera compatible with
the function before shooting RAW images, images are recorded as
“special RAW images (Dual Pixel RAW images)” with dual pixel
information appended from the imaging sensor. This is called Dual Pixel
RAW shooting. Using this function, the [Dual Pixel RAW Optimizer], with
Dual Pixel RAW images, you can make use of the Dual Pixel data
recorded with the Dual Pixel RAW image for microadjustment of the
position of maximum sharpness and resolution using the depth
information contained within the file, repositioning the viewpoint or
foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result, and reducing the
appearance of ghosting in images.
Cautions for Dual Pixel RAW shooting
Note the following when shooting in Dual Pixel RAW.
-
Common to all functions
• Effects are most easily gained when the lens aperture value is
f/5.6 or lower.
• Effects may be different between shooting in vertical orientation
and horizontal orientation.
• It is recommended that the ISO speed be ISO 1600 or lower.
-
Only for “Microadjustment of the position of maximum sharpness
and resolution using the depth information contained within the
Dual Pixel RAW file”
• It is recommended that the lens focal length be at least 50 mm.
• It is recommended that this function be used when the camera
is at a distance from the subject.*
* Use the following as a guide to subject distances according to
focal length.
When the lens focal length is 50 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 1 m - 10 m / 3.3 ft. - 32.8 ft.
When the lens focal length is 100 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 2 m - 20 m / 6.6 ft. - 65.6 ft.
When the lens focal length is 200 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 4 m - 40 m / 13.1 ft. - 131.2 ft.
You can display this function as a function button in the main
window’s toolbar (p.108).
Microadjust the position of maximum sharpness and resolution, using the
depth information contained within the Dual Pixel RAW images.

In the main window or edit image window, select the

(16bit) to which an ICC profile (p.138) is added. The ICC profile
contains information about [Preferences] (p.131) or work color
space (p.83) set for each image as described and the appropriate
color information is relayed to Photoshop.
-
When you exit Photoshop, only the original RAW image remains,
and the transferred image will disappear. Saving the transferred
image as a separate image in Photoshop is recommended.

In the [Batch settings] window, you cannot perform [Save] or [Save As]
(p.85) 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 different 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, converting and saving images as JPEG
or TIFF images is recommended.
-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 preview window during the saving process.
-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.

Troubleshooting
If DPP is not operating correctly, refer to the subjects below.
-
Select an administrator-level privilege ([Computer administrator],
[Administrator], etc.) when setting the user. You cannot install the
software if the 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 operate correctly on a computer if its system
requirements are not met. Use DPP on a computer with compatible
system requirements (p.3).
-
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.
-
Depending on the card reader and computer OS used, SDXC cards
may 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.
-
Images that are not supported by DPP are not displayed. (Thumbnail
images are displayed as [?].) On a 32-bit version PC, when more
images than the maximum displayable amount are detected, images
beyond the maximum are not displayed. (Thumbnail images are
displayed as [?].) 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 to be
displayed properly (p.4).
Installation can not be completed correctly
DPP does not work
The card reader does not detect the SD card
Images are not displayed properly
-
Contents that can only be adjusted for RAW images cannot be
applied as a recipe to JPEG images or TIFF images.
-
If a RAW image which has a color space other than sRGB is
converted and saved as a JPEG or TIFF image (p.83, p.131), the
colors will be subdued when viewed in software that is only
compatible with sRGB color space. In such a case, set the RAW
image’s color space to sRGB, convert and save again as a JPEG or
TIFF image, and then view the image.
-
The Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.55) is a function compatible with
cameras equipped with the Auto Lighting Optimizer.
Adjustments made with the Auto Lighting Optimizer cannot be applied
to RAW images shot with the cameras not compatible with this
function.
-
If the color of the monitor that displays an image is not adjusted
correctly, or if the profile for a printer that is to print image is not 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.131) and the profile for a printer is set
up correctly (p.132), the color of a printed photograph and the color of
an image on screen can be more closely matched. Using a Canon
printer automatically sets up the profiles for the printer, so you only
need to set the color of the monitor to bring the colors closer to each
other.
-
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 recipe could not be pasted (applied) to another image
Colors are subdued in the image when viewed with
other software
The colors of the image displayed on screen and
the colors of the printed image do not match
Printing a large number of images in batches
cannot be performed

RAW image
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.
* “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.

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
: 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.
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.

ColorMatch RGB 1.8 5000K(D50)
Wide Gamut RGB 2.2 5000K(D50)
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
: Profile normally used for book printing, etc. in
Japan, suitable for simulation of magazine
advertising standard color printing.
U.S.Web Coated
: 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.
