thanks David! been meaning to include DPP in my workflow but i just don't know where to start! i hope this will help. :D

JDT: DPP for me is excellent for RAW (Canon, of course) files especially for batch processing, it simply works and doesn't bog your system down.

Watch this as well http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/2008/video-camera-profiles-for-lightroom/.

Might want to read into these as well (trying to pimp DPP here hehe)

Then again, my PC sucks so performance gains from using DPP plays a big part in my workflow from CR2 to JPG hehe.

David/Rem- Thanks for the help Sir.

Hi sir, i have a question with regards to the sharpening option on DPP. Is it Ok to use it to adjust the sharpness of my photo or should I leave the sharpening job in PS for example?

Thanks.

Depends on your workflow, i guess. Bulk of my photos are sharpened in DPP if they don't end up being printed. I find that you can increasing the sharpening quite a bit in DPP without ugly halos but you don't get the luxury of masking.

Ok thanks for pointing out the masking.

thanks David! been meaning to include DPP in my workflow but i just don't know where to start! i hope this will help. :D

I think I shall too. :D Tried out the sharpening technique. Very nice.

Is it possible to straighten a tilted horizon or structure using DPP? I've been taking many RAW & Jpeg images but haven't had time to do any PP but now just getting started with the PP side of things. :)

Thanks,
Doug

Ok no probs, found it! Cheers :Grin:

Hi! Can Canon DPP read CR2 files?

I had to do a recovery on a formatted memory card and the raw files came up as cr2 (I have no idea if this supposed to be the file type as I am mostly a Nikon user.) When I tried to open the recovered files DPP is only able to let me view the jpg ones, the cr2 are detected but can't be viewed.

If DPP can't support it, do you know any other software that can?

Thanks for your assistance! :)

DPP supports all canon raw files...

this works pretty well too http://www.stepok.net/eng/raw_importer.htm

Thanks Sir David!

I'll try the StepOk one...
