Use the Hong Kong link I posted above.

Hey, it works!

It's up on Canon USA today!

Just went there, and no software for any of their DSLR's are available. Page is blank. Brochures and manuals are also missing. I will assume they are just doing maintenance and it is just a hiccup.

Well, try again -- I just went there and it worked! But yeah, they could have been updating something.

If the USA site is borked, try another country. You don't have to worry about losing money on the currency exchange and nobody will report you for un-American activities.

Heh! Can we get it from Cuba or North Korea? Maybe Iran?

OK, DPP 3.11.12 appeared on Canon's page, and I DL'd it for my Mac. I don't yet have a 5D3 (planned B4 summer when they resolve the whatever), but the DLO module does work, and indeed doubles the RAW .CR2 file sizes. I never would have thought that my lowly 40D would now have 33MB .CR2 files associated with it, but there you go.

My 10-22 EF-S lens benefits the most with the DLO and RAW files. The 70-200 f/4 L IS less so. Do what they suggest, and start with zero sharpening. If you have sharpening set in-camera for output, then be sure to look at the RAW tab and reset to 0 first. Then after DLO'ing, go back and sharpen again as needed. Might or might not make a difference.

I haven't tried the HDR module yet, but there are many tripodded bracketed sequences from years ago that I am itching to load and study the results. For now, I am just glad that Canon has fixed DPP. Yay!

What I've seen with the HDR is that it tends to leave the highlights a bit bright. Unfortunately you don't have the Raw tab available -- when you Save As it creates a jpeg and if you need to you can use the RGB tab to pull back the White Spot which helps.

But you may want to experiment by pulling back the highlights of your brighter exposure befor starting the HDR.

right , I noticed that to the highlights seem to have tendency to be blown out or just to bright . Probably doing some adjustments before HDR combining would fix this .
I also notice anything much above 25-30 strength gives halo's (like around a tree against the sky) and the higher you have smoothing the worse it gets .
I have never tried other HDR ,like some of gimp plugins to compare .

I uploaded from the US site - no problems even on a Mac -
the HDR feature is very interesting - I use photomatix most of the time I will have to experiment with this a bit

This may be obvious and I'm just missing it, but why did they go from ver 3.11.4 to 3.11.26? It seems to me that they are out of order...

They're not respecting leading zeros. .26 comes after .4.

Thanks. That makes sense. Sometimes it's hard for an accountant to follow an engineer's/programmer'​s logic.

You can use the HDR tool on just a single images, you don't need a set of bracketed images.
