Additional Changes in DPP

Another new function that has been developed links DPP with the new “Easy-PhotoPrint

EX” printing software for inkjet printers. This allows the transfer of RAW images selected

in DPP directly to Easy-PhotoPrint EX so that RAW images can be printed simply and at

high quality. The specifications and procedures for using the new software are the same

as the previous “Easy-PhotoPrint” software.

A [View images at high speed (moiré reduction off)] option has been added to the [High

quality] display mode. This will prove useful for those who want slightly faster image display

when false color reduction is not needed, because they do not use false color reduction

when viewing images in the Edit or Edit Image window.

The [Preferences] window has been amended to include a

function for reducing the “block noise” and “mosquito noise”

that particular affects JPEG images when RAW images are

converted and saved in JPEG format. This makes it possible

to improve the image quality particularly when high compres-

sion rates are used.

DPP features:

• RAW image viewing/processing/editing software aimed primarily at amateur and

professional users who mostly shoot RAW images

• High-speed processing of RAW images

• Support for RAW images from almost all EOS Digital camera models

• Viewing and editing of JPEG and TIFF images

• Links with Canon’s EOS software

• Window displays tailored to professional workflows

• Extensive range of image editing functions

• Real time display of image adjustments and comparison displays of edits

• Faithful, high-quality printing using links with Canon inkjet printers

• 3 printing style specification functions

• RAW image conversion and saving

• Batch processing of large numbers of RAW images

In versions up to DPP ver.3.1, thumbnail images that had

been dragged into a different sequence in the main window

reverted to the original display sequence when DPP was

shut down. In ver.3.2, this has been improved so that the

user’s thumbnail sequence is retained. With the addition of

a [Retain sort order] checkbox in the [Preferences] window,

DPP has been improved so that the current thumbnail

sequence is retained when DPP is shut down. By clearing

the [Retain sort order] checkbox, users who prefer the

ver.3.1 specifications can revert to the previous system

(in which the original sequence is restored when DPP

shuts down).
