DPP vs. Lightroom

I have them both. DPP is much faster, but lightroom is superior with editing. I feel DPP does a much better job with the eye dropper for white balance. It also does a better job than lightroom with sharpening. With DPP I can usually get a feel for what the picture will look like on the screen and be done. With lightroom I usually end up going back a second time because I don't like the first export....not sure why.........but just the facts.

you can do this with the new DPP

No. You cannot. (At least not in 3.6.0)

Yeah. You can do non destructive editing with DPP since 1.0. The same goes for Photoshop 4. I hate the term non destructive editing by the way...
But you cannot do local adjustments in DPP...

ok sorry about that

Thanks for clarifying that or else I might have wasted another few hours of my life playing around with DPP's butt ugly user interface!!
But I hear it is still free.

I know the current version of DPP cannot do straightening which is frustrating. Can Lightroom do straightening?

Yes, both manual or semi-automatic or by the numbers.

Straightening as in: Rotate a crop: Yes.
Straightening as in: Correct keystoning: No.

I find myself doing this as well.

I'm wondering if anybody has the same experience with DPP viewing RAW created by G9. I can see all my RAWs that were shot with my EOS bodies but not G9.

Any suggestions?

Digital Photo Professional (DPP) cannot read G9 raw files. You need Zoombrowser (Raw Image Task).

Or Raw Therapee.

Believe me I do use ImageBrowswer (name for Mac users), but it tends to crash frequently regardless if I use a new or an old Mac.

I would hope that by now Canon would supply a fix or something. So they sold and keep selling a whole bunch G cameras and then what

From the G10 they started adding support for G-series in DPP.
