Having done this, you should finally be able to obtain that dearly-looking film-like tonality in your pictures. Brightness and contrast - these represent my and Iliah Borg’s attempts to create tone curve adjustments based on actual film density measurements in different development modes.I'm trying to keep up with Color Science and using a lot more sophisticated approach. Saturation - very tricky operation, because it has to account for specifics in human's color perception and traditionally it's implemented with very crude methods.Built-in support for camera profiling with excellent free and open sourced ArgyllCMS.Compressed compensation allows to preserve highlights in more film-like style instead of clipping used in traditional linear exposure compensation. Linear and compressed exposure compensations - another very sensitive step, should use high precision math to preserve shadows and highlights and it is almost impossible to make it properly during post-processing in Photoshop.RPP supports various ways of working with white balance - automatic detection, “as shot” (taken from camera), custom white balance from neutral areas and color tone adjustments on “cold - warm” scale. 4-channel white balance - this is probably the most important operation in Raw processing and it has to be applied at very early stages.You may use RPP for these carefully chosen operations: See “Integration” chapter in “How to use” page. it has Adobe Lightroom version 2, 3, 4 and 5 plugin and can work directly with Photoshop. RPP is easy to integrate with other tool though, f.e. So this is NOT a full featured photo processing package, you may need Photoshop or some other tool to apply sharpness, cropping and so on. Think of RPP as a development machine in terms of film photography - first you have to develop your roll right, then do whatever you want with it. We just got fed up with those converters made by programmers for their upper management :) Of course, the ultimate aim is to get the image right in-camera.A Raw converter for Mac OS X (10.4-10.11), supporting almost all available digital Raw formats made for photographers by a photographer-software engineer with unmeasurable amount of help and tutoring from my friend, professional photographer Iliah Borg. So why use DPP 4? Well the images speak for themselves, and out of preference here at EOS magazine we would rather have the camera and computer doing all the work rather than spending hours correcting substitute settings added by non-Canon RAW converters. Did you have the wrong white balance set when shooting? No problem – just change the white balance setting in DPP and it's instantly put right. And, just as usefully, those settings can be undone, or altered as needed. Open the images in DPP and those corrections are done for you. And that takes time, regardless of how proficient you may be.Īsk yourself, could that time be better spent elsewhere? Now of course, all these settings and their effect on the image can be replicated in other RAW converter software, but you have to make the corrections manually. A further setting – Distortion correction – can also be turned on within the camera. The example shown above is Peripheral illumination correction, but on the latest models there are additional corrections applied automatically – Chromatic aberration correction and Diffusion correction. In third party software, they are discarded. These corrections are applied automatically to JPEG images but they will only be used on RAW files by Canon’s DPP software. Your EOS camera will automatically correct for common lens aberrations if you use Canon lenses. The images below were all opened as RAW files in Adobe's Photoshop and Canon's Digital Photo Professional and converted to JPEG, with no corrections done. Here are five key settings and Canon features which will be stripped out or substituted with generic processes by third party RAW converters. So if the ‘recipe’ is patented, when it comes to camera algorithms, how can you possibly get the same results with a third-party brand imitating what the original does? after all Coca Cola is patented – you cannot make the same recipe – and other brands simply do not taste the same. Much of the data saved with the file are algorithms that are patented by Canon. However, the software can only apply generic settings. If you use third party software, there is an option to process the RAW file using the camera settings. These settings are then applied automatically when the RAW conversion is done, but only if using DPP. ![]() The camera saves the RAW image file without applying any corrections, but instead saves the settings you have chosen as data within the image file. If you shoot RAW the process is different.
