DPP 3.13.0 is out

Sometimes, the priorities of the canon developers seem very strange... I have never understand why they provided a circular crop tool... I'm wondering how many people uses this feature.

LOL. Certainly not me! I never noticed it existed.

Forum members appreciate your contribution. Thank you for that. Keep us updated. I would like to go back to DPP someday, when problems are fixed (or when I need to do a circular crop ).

How about for printing on a CD/DVD?

well why not, but I think that saving highlights is more important for most users than printing on a CD or DVD...

The one really great thing that DPP does is to offer the option of a linear conversion that does extract every bit of highlight detail instead of clipping at around 13,000. It doesn't do highlight reconstruction of clipped channels, but it does retain everything that hasn't been overexposed. Editing a linearly converted tiff in PS can be tricky because putting on a big gamma-like curve in RGB can cause hue shifts (saturation too, but that is usually less objectionable), but doing a blend with a regular conversion and using only the top of the linear version can give good results. Another technique can be to convert to Lab and edit the L channel.

Breezebrowser, which uses the Canon SDK, does a "combined" conversion that blends linear and gamma corrected versions.

Hmm.. downloaded and installed without issue but the program wont run. I checked and everything is pointing to what it should but is just plain does not come up.

I uninstalled and re-installed the old version and all works fine. Tried it again but uninstalling the old version first. Install seems fine, no errors and places all the files in the right places but no go. Watching the processes, I see it pop up for just a moment and it goes away. No error, no logging that I can see indicating what the error is.

Anyone have a similar experience? I'm shooting an email to Canon to see what they say.

My update seems to be OK. But I cannot find a circular crop tool mentioned by others which gives me cause to wonder. It certainly claims to be the updated version.

Trimming/Angle Tool

Back with LR/ACR PV 2010, I recall playing with the Linear mode in DPP and comparing, and at least to my limited perceptions it seemed that you got similar results pulling the Brightness slider all the way back from its default position of "50" in the Adobe software.

Does that make sense? Now with PV 2010 there is no "Brightness" slider, and I haven't delved into things to figure out the equivalent, but anyway, just thought I'd share.

Elie,

Many thanks. I'd never have thought to look under Free.

Richard, when I open the Trimming/Angle tool the aspect ratio defaults to "Free" (no defined aspect ratio). You open the drop-down list to choose an aspect ratio, and the last choice is "Circle". So, it's not part of the "Free" choice!

Yow. I also never knew there was a circle crop option. I have no idea how I'd use that, but I learned something today. Thanks!

BTW, the circle option is in older versions too - don't know how far back. I'm using 3.11.x

Yb98 You Are The Man!

I have windows 7 x64bit and the old version of dpp didn't work.
Been working without it for a YEAR! Got a couple of new 5D Classics,
and I needed to compare the 2 bodies and different lenses .. The old version opened,
but it would never display images .. tried everything.
Searched the site for an hour before I ran across this thread!

THANKS!

Tomi, which version of DPP are you using?

I'm using 3.13.0 .. I guess ..?
It's the download in the OP .. I assumed it was .. even if it isn't
and it's been updated since then, no problem! I have what I need now lol!

Are you saying it's working "properly" now?
