Glossary RAW image bit number EOS DIGITAL camera RAW images are recorded in an uncompressed 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”.
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.
