- Washed out areas, loss of detail and incorrect colors are some issues photographers face in their raw images. Learn how you can easily correct these common issues in DPP 4. Check out more DPP tutorials on the Canon Digital Learning Center: www.learn.usa.c...
You are awesome. Great video. Till now I DPP was just an appendage for me to convert batch files to TIFFs. You have opened a whole new world here.
the best thing i like in DPP: 1. is possible to load the picture style installed in the camera like cinestyle and marvel. (others software like lightroom and capture one does not load). this is the main good thing that DPP does. 2. lens optimizer. the bad thind about DPP is that it is not a software more complete like lightroom or capture one. maybe you guys (canon) could improve the software to be more complete like the 2 ones mentioned above!!! it will be a miracle!!! lots of people will migrate to DPP.
Very helpful and presented at just the right speed for an old geezer! Thank you.
Wow, these have to be some of the best and most informative I have seen. I have never been one for digital editing, but this makes it look so easy and well explained. You dont get lost in the terminology. Thanks.
why is the brightness tool area, all grayed out and im not able to use any of it.. .like gamma etc
Hi there! If you are trying to make these adjustments to a JPEG, they will not be available. You'll need to make these adjustments to a RAW image instead, then process the RAW into a JPEG with those changes. We hope this helps!
I wish this would have been listed somewhere before I used my camera for the first time, being a new user. I have images from a vacation that I cannot edit the way needed be. Is there another way I could edit these photos?
If you've copied negatives with a copy stand/DSLR/light box combination, can you neg > pos using DPP?
Hi! Inverting negative colors would need to be performed in application outside of Digital Photo Professional. Hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA It does thank you.
Very useful. Simple and straight.
How to use denoising?

Hey, I just got a camera and I am trying to install Digital Photo Professional, but when I open the install.xml (in the software folder) it opens in Internet expolrer(raw xml) and doesn't do anything. What am I doing something wrong?
very very helpful...thankz again...does this have a time lapse editing?
How can I compare the original Raw file to the edited version on the Before and After comparison once I have saved the changes I have made to a photo?
I have downloaded Canons latest DPP4 and when I try to edit a photo the brightness adjustment tab will not work in the tool palette, other than that everything else works fine . I am running a brand new Windows 11 PC. ANy fix for this?

We hope this information is useful.
sir, its a very nice video tutorial.. but could you teach me how to enable my gemma adjustment? it doesnt work on my dpp 4
Hi Mizu. Gamma adjustment is unavailable for JPEG images. To be able to adjust it, you'll need to open a RAW (CR2) image with DPP instead. We hope this helps!
oh i see... Thanks i got it now. :)
Can you tell me how to apply Auto Gamma to a large amount of photos?
Hi Tim. After making the Auto Gamma correction to the first image, you can right-click the image and use copy-recipe to copy what was done to that image, then select a number of images and paste the recipe to those. If you need help doing this or any additional questions come up, our support team is standing by to assist. You can reach them directly at 1-800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666) weekdays between 8 AM and midnight, or on Saturdays between 10 AM and 8 PM ET. We hope this helps!
Okay thanks, I am familiar with this way but that only works on similar images of a similar exposure and balance. I am looking to apply the correction to all images so that the same corrections are NOT applied to all images but each image gets its own specific gamma correction.
THANKS for your video! I have a problem using DPP4. It works very slow on my pc with the following technical components: Windows 10 Pro, Intel i7-8700k, 3.7GHz, 16GB RAM, Mainboard Asus Prime Z370-A with OnBoard Grafic. With settings can I change (perhaps also in the bios) to let it work correctly and fast?
Hi there! Our support team is happy to go over this with you one-on-one to help determine why it might be performing slower. Please reach out to them directly at Canon.us/ContactYT We look forward to hearing from you!
I had the same problem with my old Windows 7, 4gb ram. I now have a Faster PC with 8gb ram but your machine should be more than enough to run it well.
Hello, my Dpp4 tool pallete is not working, may I Know how to solve it? Thanks 😊
Hi, Angel! Our EOS support squad will be happy to help you with that. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).
Hope to help you soon!
Great video. Colour adjustment now is that easy vor me. Thank you!
Is there a way to edit video in DPP4? If so, is there tutorials on doing so?
I hope DPP can automatically remind me there is an update version. Right now I have to go to Canon website from time to time to check if there is an update. And what makes you guys think it's a good idea to ask users to type the SN number each time in order to download DPP? People may not have their cameras around when editing their photos.
+GreatKeny Hi! If you haven't already done so, we recommend registering your Canon camera with us. This allows us to keep your camera's information, including its serial number, on file and you'll get notifications whenever updates come out for your software and firmware. Get started at registercanon.com
We hope this helps!
that's an amazing video! Did the last example reproduced the effect of a polarizing filter?
Hi Federico!
Digital Photo Professional does not have a specific control to create polarizing filter effects. In the example, the presenter selectively adjusted different colors in the image to increase the overall blue in the image. If you have additional questions, our camera support agents can help you at 1-800-652-2666 Monday-Friday: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm ET, Saturday: 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET, excluding holidays.

Nice tutorial. I’m planning to buy a new notebook and was wondering wich hardware would be comfortable to run DPP. Can you give me any toughts?
Hi Alexandre! We recommend running DPP 4 on a system that has a Core i-Series processor and 4 GB of RAM installed, though more will certainly help and most systems nowadays are likely to have hardware more than capable of running DPP 4. We hope this helps!
so informative, simple and straight to the point, Thank you.

Does DPP 4 use LUTS?
Needs to be a RAW file? Or can do it on JPEG format?
Hi Leandro!
It depends on what adjustments you are making. You will get the most options when using a RAW file. Items in the first adjustment tab (Basic Image Adjustments) are only available in RAW images. If you watch this video closely, the last example image of a sunset was done on a .JPG file while the others were RAW (.CR2) files.
Hope this helps.
@@CanonUSA thanks for prompt response!
Nice tutorial. Been using DPP since day one and DPP4 is a great improvement. Because of College now need to master photoshop but to be honest when comparing side by side the images processed in DPP4 are much better. Just one question, Is it possible to swap out the sky in DPP4?
Hi Wendy! While there are many fine-tune color adjustments that can be made in DPP, it isn't possible to swap out the sky or background for something else. ~ML
That's why I recommend to use the manufacturer's software for editing their raw files, and Canon is no different. I've tried to use both Lightroom and Rawtherapee to edit raw files from my Powershot S110. Neither of them gives me the results that DPP does. I think it's because the manufacturers know how to process raw files from their own cameras better than Adobe, or the OSS community. But using the OEM software can get confusing if you own cameras from other companies as well. The rest of my family likes to use Nikon cameras so I have their software on my computers as well to help them with edits. Canon's and Nikon's programs are a little different and each use different vocabularies for adjustments. Other than that they don't seem to conflict with each other so it doesn't hurt to have them both installed on the same computers.
As far as swapping out a sky, that's probably something for a post processing application. You can pull each raw shot into DPP, get the adjustments from each shot the way you want to. Then export to JPEG. Then you can use Photoshop or the GIMP to make the actual swap work. RAW conversion software like DPP and Lightroom isn't really geared towards complete editing such as that.
does this software for for the powershot sx60hs
I've been using DPP 4.7.21 to edit some nightscapes. I've noticed a lot of hot/stuck pixels (red and blue pixels) in the images, 100's in fact that render the images unusable. I took the images with my Canon 6D using settings approximating Av 2.8, Tv 30 sec, ISO 800 in fairly warm ambient temperatures. Is there a way to use DPP 4 to edit out the stuck pixels? I've see Adobe Light Room automatically do this, I've also heard that DPP4 can remove stuck pixels when converting RAW to TIFF, but I cannon find any further information or dialogue menus in DPP4 to actually do this. Additionally, I took dark frames shortly after my nightscape exposures so I also have dark frames that display the same stuck pixels - is there a dark frame subtraction workflow or similar?
Hi Mark. Noise and hot/stuck pixels are sometimes unavoidable given certain shooting conditions, such as long exposures, higher ISO speeds and elevated temperatures. Making adjustments for these or using the camera's built-in noise reduction settings can help. When editing a RAW image in DPP 4, it is possible to apply noise reduction there too. However, DPP does not have a tool for the removal of hot/stuck pixels. We hope this information helps!
Thanks for the reply. Given that it is hard to remove these artifacts in DPP4 post are there any recommendation you can make to reduce their occurrence in the first place when undertaking long exposures/nightscapes? Would running an auto or manual sensor cleaning on the camera during the shoot while the sensor is hot reduce the number of stuck pixels? Also would using the camera's built in Noise Reduction features in anyway reduce the quality or negatively impact image quality at night, in particular wide angle astrophotography?
Hello again. Our team of experts is happy to go over some suggestions with you one-on-one to help reduce their occurrence, as well as what side effects those suggestions may or many not have. Please give them a call at 1-800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666) weekdays between 8 AM and midnight, or on Saturdays between 10 AM and 8 PM ET. We look forward to hearing from you.
Hi. Is there a brush tool in DPP so you can make adjustments to exposure in certain areas? I.E. the eyes pop in a portrait? Like you can in Lightroom.
No, the lack of an image adjustment brush is one of the things that limit it compared to LR unfortunately.
Great tips!
Hi there, great video but i need a little help! How do you know which setting to adjust the first? Do u always adjust gamma and the RGB? Is it always the same for most photos? I look at my photos blankly and i dont quite know where to begin. :/
Hi David! Every photo is different, and as such requires different adjustments, perhaps even no adjustment at all. Our "Intro to Workflow" workshop may interest you and help you get a better understanding of storing, editing and sharing your photos. Check it out! Canon.us/trejg
CanonUSA Hey thanks alot! I'll go check it out soon! :)
Can I pick a few pictures and then make same changes to all, instead each individually ?
If yes how to do that ?
Thanks

I'm a beginner with this software but there is something called a 'recipe' that you can save from the image you just fine-tuned and apply the 'recipe' to other images as well. Do a search on this topic for DPP.
So why is it That when I shoot in Raw and do some editing to the image it saves it to the Pc as a JPEG like it supposed to do but when I try and send it to a Sd Card it’s sending it as like I never did any editing to the photo ???? It’s really driving me nuts !!! I’ve been shooting In JPEG for some time now and learning the Camera and now I wanna take it to the next level and shot Raw+jpeg and wow 😮 I’m in love with the RAW files !! So bright and alive right off the Bat !! Now i can’t get them to save to a Sd card ☹️😢
Hi there! RAW is an uncompressed format containing all of the original image data. When you edit a RAW, the changes you make are only appended to the RAW file. It isn't until you process the RAW into a JPEG that the changes are actually applied. When you move an edited RAW file to an SD card, the edits are there, but not applied to the image, so you won't see them like you would a JPEG. This preservation of image data is helpful, giving you the most data to work with for editing, and allowing you to revisit the image to make other changes or process the image differently down the road. We hope this helps clarify things.
Where is the export menu?
Hi Amornsak! When setting up a Batch Process, at the bottom of the window is a checkbox for opening the processed images in other software. You can use the box below that to select the executable for the software you want to open the images in. We hope this helps!
How do i save the image i edited still keeping the original photo i shot on my camera .
Hi, Chaitra! Digital Photo Professional allows you to save copies of your edited photos as JPG and TIF files. The original RAW file is never actually modified, though you can save the adjustments you make to each photo. Whenever you open that RAW file back up in DPP, its adjustments will automatically be applied and you can continue to adjust them without ever actually changing the image data.
Hope this clears things up!
@@CanonUSA Thank you for the reply ! It helps :)
Great series! Thanks for the info! Subscribed!
Can you do a video based on how to upload pictures from a canon camera to a macbook on the app DPP
Hello Michelle:
The Canon Digital Photo Professional software is a program for editing Canon RAW and JPEG images. Canon provides the EOS Utility software for importing images from the camera to Mac computer. You can find instructions on importing images on pages 7-18 of the EOS Utility instruction manual. Here is a shortcut to the manual: Canon.us/kq42j.
We hope you find this helpful.
How can I add Canon G1x miii Lens support to DPP4 Editing.
Hi Osman! Lens data cannot be added for the PowerShot G1 X Mark III. For RAW images, functions that are not in the camera, such as the Digital Lens Optimizer, cannot be used. We hope this answers your question!

Hi John,
Is there any way to reduce red-eye effect with DPP4? I can reduce the luminance and saturation for red in the color correction tab, but the problem is this also kills all red areas in the photo; is there anything like a "single spot" fix in this software?
Hello KPblCMAH! DPP 4 does not have a single-spot or red-eye correction tool.

Hi, I installed this program from my new 5dMark III package so i don't know if it's DPP4, but it's DPP for sure. and I open the JPEG file I saved from a Raw photo because it's post processed by PS already. Due to the sharpness I decided to use DPP cuz it can make it even sharper, but once I saved as or converted to save it won't save the changes I made on sharpness. Is it because I did it in a wrong way? I opened the link you provided, I can't find contact number for DPP thou :(
+CanonUSA Then why does it work with my EOS M pictures? If I save it as JPEG the alternations are saved too.

I don't hear anything Shyanne but I thought it was a good tutorial
A 'touch' of color??? Seriously???
Ha Ha! I thought the same thing.
a useful tutorial but you can hear the spit in his mouth the whole time hes talking
kinda creepy lol
Yeah his mic was WAY to sensitive, you can hear his lips smacking together XD
Shyanne Stevens what a stupid irrelevant comment
Useful video, but I wish he'd stop moving his hands in the bits to camera, especially since the perspective is making his hands look bigger. A little movement is natural, but a professional should know not to let the hands become a distraction. In order to hear what he is saying, I literally have to look away from the screen, and it's a relief when he switches to the screen view.
I hope Canon didn't pay somebody to _teach_ him to do that.
