Some news about the future version of DPP and the 5D Mark III

According to Canon USA, DPP 3.11.4 is the latest release. It's kind of confusing as some of the talk in this thread seems to be referring to a latter version that's out there somewhere.

Yeah, the new version hasn't been publicly released yet, although there are some "unofficial" links to it.

Look at the version you have -- if it was the new version it would have an HDR feature, a "multiple exposure" feature and a Digital Lens Optimizer feature (DLO), all new features in the 5D3 that will also be part of the new DPP.

If you're curious you can download a manual for the new version by going to the 5D3 section and the Brochures and Manuals section. It's just designated DPP version 3.11, but it's dated 3/16 and has the new features.

For all the effort/ resources and time that DLO takes to make the image, and the increase in file size, it would seem to me that processing the image in LR or PS would result in a fairly similar image.
I have had images that are fairly soft and processed them to be sharper, etc... the results look very much like what I saw on the FM forum.

Interesting, Pierre, DLO works on the corners/peripheries but you are saying that you see just as good results in LR in those areas?

Of course we talk about DPP here because it is the freely provided software and that matters!

Kudos to Canon for stepping up and acknowledging the issue so fast.

+1. I'm looking forward to the update. I don't have a 5DIII yet, but since DPP is my primary RAW converter, I'm glad Canon is acknowledging their error with a timely fix. Thanks, Canon!

By the way, does anyone have any comments on using the DPP HDR? I've tried it on a couple sets -- on one it evidently didn't have sufficient detail.

On the other, I'd say it didn't get a good balance on getting in the highlights from the underexposed image -- it got more of the bright highlights from the overexposed image.

I'll say, though, that I haven't read into things, this was just a quick stab I took yesterday and haven't been able to study things.

Anyway, any comments/tips for HDR using non-5D3 images?

Anyone have any more good new DLO examples? Would love to see some posts from the 24-105, 17-40, etc, on full frame
