Workaround for the problem where images cannot be opened or the camera cannot be connected to a computer. However, because the software is backward compatible, the software of a later model supports previous models. Lastly, a new Reference section has been added, with useful information for understanding the development of digital photography over the years, why certain functions, settings and tools exist, and how these have evolved over the years.If you have more than two Canon cameras, the software supplied with a previous model may not support a later model. You’ll also learn about what DPP can – and cannot – process in terms of corrections and how to use the tools both creativelyand successfully for your images. In addition to exploring the program itself, Nina also explains the differences between RAW and JPEG formats, RAW file workflow and filing and backing up your images. This fifth edition of Nina's popular guide has been written to include DPP version 4.12 and the new HDR PQ feature, plus other recently introduced features including the Depth Compositing tool, Selective area adjustment tool and new-look image filter options. Yet at the same time all of the in-camera corrections can be changed if you feel that the settings are not right for the image. The advantage of using Canon’s own software to process your RAW images is that DPP will take many of the corrections that have been applied in-camera and apply them to the RAW files as they open, minimising the amount of manual correction that needs to be done to each image. Written specifically for version 4 of DPP, this eBook is a clear, user-friendly guide to the software, its features and benefits. The Beginner’s Guide to Canon Digital Photo Professional assumes little or no knowledge of RAW processing and is an in-depth guide to navigating round the program, as well as using it to best effect to process and correct your RAW files. She'll hold your hand along the way and get you up to speed quickly with DPP and to help you understand RAW workflow. So, if you’re considering making the move to shooting RAW files on your Canon DSLR, then here’s the perfect eBook from Nina Bailey. Getting to grips with new software is often a steep learning curve.
