DPP. Additional stuff?

I am really liking DPP. Are there any add ons/Plugins/Additional effects or do they have other versions of the program ?

A forum member here (yb98) has developed an add-on called DPP+. There's a trial version, with the full version costing €15.80. More details on http://digitol.free.fr​/doku.php?id=dpppp:hom​e. I'm now a Lightroom user - so have never used it myself, so can't give a personal recommendation.

There are also other Picture Style presets that you can download from Canon, e.g. from http://web.canon.jp …turestyle/file/​index.html. Googling for "dpp picture styles download" will find you many more.

You can also download the Picture Style Editor to create your own pre-sets: http://www.canon.co.uk …5738&page=1&typ​e=download

I have used DPP++, an add-on for DPP, for four years, and through the progression of updates to the first version, it has added more and more features.

DPP, with DPP++, is my standard RAW converter. Without DPP++, DPP would be much less convenient to use, and features would be missing that I frequently find necessary or useful (from there I produce TIFs, which, if further editing is required I do in Photoshop CC, using NIK plugins).

The author, yb68, who frequents this forum, is most helpful if you have questions, or requests.

I encourage you to give it a try ... it's well worth the small cost!

Cheers Guys, some great tips... !!

Yes good to know, in DL now.

Quite a good bunch of videos to get the basics of DPP before going DPP ++

Thanks for the link. I never knew they had DPP videos.

I'd say DPP has made some real progress over the years, enough so that you see more people taking it seriously as their Raw processor.

Add to that the features added by DPP++ as well as the Picture Style Editor, then you have a pretty cool bundle!

You also know about the lens optimizers on Canon site as well ... it's a very effective tool prior to any other processing you might want in DPP or other programs.

You register the lens in your PC / LT, download the optimizer (only once), then process each RAW image ... or choose the images you need to optimize ...

It's just too bad that DPP doesn't do lens corrections for 3rd party lenses.

That looks like quite a useful set of tools at a very good price.

You can use it with 3rd party lenses. See here.

Well, sort of but not really. That's just tricking DPP into thinking that it's doing lens corrections for a Canon lens. I don't buy that it's anywhere near as good as having proper lens correction data.

Yes that's true but at least this method seems to provide better results than without any correction.

Thanks
