Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe) ................... 83 Saving Recipes as a File ............................................ 84 Loading and Pasting Recipes..................................... 84 Copying a Recipe and Applying to Another Image.....
Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe) All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be saved as an individual recipe file (extension “.vrd”) and loaded and applied to another image. You can edit images efficiently by selecting and adjusting one image from images shot with the same shooting environment and batch applying the adjustment results to a large number of images.
Introduction Saving Recipes as a File Copying a Recipe and Applying to Another Image You can copy a recipe of an edited image and then apply it to another image. an edited image, and then select the [Edit] 1 Select menu [Save recipe in file]. ¿ The [Save] dialog box appears. 2 the image from which a recipe is to be copied 1 Select and then select the [Edit] menu [Copy recipe to Select the destination folder, enter a file name, and then click the [Save] button. clipboard]. ¿ The recipe is copied.
Batch Apply White Balance to Images (Personal White Balance) The white balance adjustments made to a RAW image shot in a specific shooting environment can be registered as personal white balance. You can then perform efficient white balance adjustment by applying this personal white balance to a large number of RAW images shot in the same shooting environment. Applying Personal White Balance the main window, select the image to which white 1 Inbalance is to be applied.
Batch Save as JPEG or TIFF Images (Batch Processing) You can batch convert and save edited RAW images to highly versatile JPEG or TIFF images. The images are saved as separate images, so the RAW images remain unaffected. 4 [Save] cannot be performed In the [Batch settings] window, you cannot perform [Save] or [Save As] (p.41, p.105) to edited RAW images. 1 [Batch process] button on the toolbar 2 Click the . In the main window, select multiple images to be converted.
Batch Transfer Images to Image Editing Software You can transfer multiple images to image editing software. Unlike [Transferring a RAW Image to Photoshop] (p.71), you transfer images that have first been converted and saved as a seperate image, so the transferred image will not disappear after quitting the destination software. The software used here as an example is Adobe Photoshop CS. 5 O In the [Open] dialog box, select a Photoshop CS file or an alias and click the [Open] button.

5 Editing JPEG and TIFF Images Introduction DPP is software mainly aimed for advanced RAW image editing, but it also has JPEG and TIFF image editing functions. Here, the editing and saving of JPEG and TIFF images are explained. Editing JPEG and TIFF Images............................... 90 About the RGB Tool Palette ....................................... 90 Automatically Adjusting Brightness and Color (Tone Curve Assist) ..............................................................
Editing JPEG and TIFF Images Introduction With DPP, you can adjust JPEG and TIFF images in the same way as RAW images using the [RGB] and [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palettes. Because adjustment made with the tool palette (recipe) only changes the image processing conditions, the “original image data itself” remains unaffected. Therefore, there are no problems with image deterioration that arise with editing and you can readjust your images any number of times.
Introduction Automatically Adjusting Brightness and Color (Tone Curve Assist) Images not suitable for automatic adjustment (tone curve assist) In order to make the image a desirable standard image, automatically adjust the image tone curve (p.125). You can select the degree of automatic adjustment from “Standard” and “High”.
O Brightness: Move the slider to the right to make an image brighter and to the left to make an image darker. O 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 Brightness and Contrast The brightness and contrast of an image can be adjusted.
Introduction 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. Using click white balance is effective when using it in parts of an image where white color tone has changed under the influence of a light source. 1 Click the [ 2 Click on a point that is to be the standard for white.

O Hue: Move the slider to the right to make color tones more yellow, and to the left to make color tones redder. O Saturation: Move the slider to the right to make the color deeper, and to the left to make the color weaker. O Sharpness: Move the slider to the right to make an image harder, and to the left to make an image softer. Adjusting Hue, Saturation and Sharpness You can adjust hue (tone) and saturation and make the overall atmosphere of an image harder or softer.
Introduction Tone Curve Adjustment You can adjust the brightness, contrast and color of a specific area by changing the tone curve (p.125). 2 Make adjustments. Batch adjusts RGB Adjusts each channel Contents at a Glance the tone curve mode and interpolation 1 Select method.
Introduction Adjusting Dynamic Range Dynamic range (width of gradation expression) from dark points to bright points in an image can be adjusted.

Glossary Introduction RAW image bit number 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”.
Introduction 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.
