Can DPP remove facial pimples

I tried a search for this subject and couldn't find anything directly related.

I took a portrait in an indoors low light evening setting. It came out nice but i would like to remove a couple of pimples on the subjects face to make it a little better. I shot in RAW+JPEG.

I got DPP with my 30D and have read the PDF instruction manual but didn't find it very helpful. Also, a link to an online tutorial was given but I can't get it to work (I'm working on that). Also also, I can't find the latest update to DPP on the Canon web site. I go to the 30d link but theres nothing there.

I would apprecaite any help

Thanks

Click on "Drivers / Software"


You can use the stamp tool within DPP to remove spots/pimples/etc.

danpass,

Your link takes me to where I was. The only thing i see there is a firmware update for the camera and some other file but no DPP. Am I doing something stupid at the site? I have tried.

Thanks for your help

There is a little red triangle with "Drivers / Software next to it. Click on that.

That is all above the Firmware stuff.

It is a pop up window so you may have to hold the Ctrl key when clicking on that link or just disable the popups control for now.

Thanks danpass,

As I suspected I was doing something stupid by not disabling the popup blocker.

I now have DPP 3.0. Hopefully the accompanying manual will be a little better than 2.0

I've been trying Adobe Lightroom recently and the similarities between it and DPP 3.0 are amazing.


I have not been able to find a stamp/clone tool in Lightroom so I probably won't be forking out that money any time soon especially since DPP is free LOL.

Can't argue with DPP on price

In the Develop module of LR the Toolbar underneath the displayed image has an icon that looks like 2 dots/points at a diagonal, linked by an arrowed line. If you don't see it, the right of the Toolbar has a dropdown menu where you can select what tools to see in the Toolbar.

It is a clone/stamp/healing tool all in one and is much sleeker than DPP's. My only misgiving is the size of the largest radius is smaller than that of DPP.

I don't mean to RTFM you but the Help docs are actually pretty good and I go to them quite often; they contain the full text of the User Guide (downloadable in pdf - 135 pages), plus there's live docs which is the same, plus more recent updated stuff as it gets added.

All the best.

I found DPP's manual to be of little help.
Invest the time to watch the helpful tutorials. They are essential for getting the most out of DPP.
