DPP 3.9.0.1

I just received my little S95 Power Shot, and it came with the newest version of DPP.

One thing I noticed immediately is this flavor of DPP now includes "unsharp mask" as a pull-down option in the RAW section, in addition to the normal "sharpness".

Most excellent in the slow but welcome evolution of DPP..

And, as an aside, the tiny S95, shooting RAW with full manual control,is just a fine little camera when I don't wish to haul out the big iron.

That sounds interesting -- it looks like 3.8.1 is still the latest "released" version available to everyone, but give it some time and the rest of us should be able to check it out!

Any more info on this?

MAC Version?

I've been using 3.9.0.2 which I think is the latest version. You can get it here http://www.megaupload.​com/?d=7HEJ20F2

Thanks for the link

I happen to try convert and save in version 3.9.0.2 that is on my laptop (came with the s95 I bought my wife).

I try to convert and save a file to a smaller size and it always gives me a error. The dialog seems to get confused about what dpi to make the file when I try to size it smaller, like 400 pixels in width.

I tried a number of files, with the same problem. I tried to save various places, etc, but no luck.

I tried my desktop with the same files (exactly) with 3.8.x.x (what ever the latest release dpp was) and no problem.

Any else have a problem with convert and save?

Can you take a screen shot of your Convert and Save dialog box and post it? I'm sure the answer will pop out if we can see it.

I haven't done a screen shot in over 15 yrs, so I need to figure it out a bit.

I just figured out I how to use fn print screen to get a screen capture and I pasted it into an app like word (happens to be on this machine) but I haven't figure out how to save it small enough in paint yet to embed in the reply window in POTN.

I'll try mspaint.

OK, there should be a couple approaches to getting a screen shot, but in modern laptops you may have to experiment -- what you want is a capture of just the active window. This was Alt-PrtScn in a "traditional" keyboard. But there is a catch in the keyboards with fn and that won't work. And, just pressing fn-PrtScn will copy your whole desktop into the clipboard.

OK, I got it started! Bring up the Convert and Save dialog with an image selected and enter the settings you would normally use. Then, with that dialog active, press fn-Alt-prtSc. Then, open MsPaint -- you will get a New image window. On the left side of the toolbar there will be a Paste button/tool which should look "active" meaning there is something in the toolbar. Click it and only the Convert and Save dialog will show up in Paint.

Then, you may want to resize it or not. But, for now, try to just Save As a jpeg, setting your quality to a level that will give you a small file size. If the file size comes out to within 150Kb, then the quick and easy way to post it is to use the POTN Attach method -- in the Reply window you click the Advanced button and then in the new toolbar you will see a little paper clip icon at the top with the Attach tool tip -- click it and then you can Browse to the screen shot jpeg and grab it, then you click upload and it will be in POTN. Then click again on the Attach tool and select the jpeg you just uploaded and it will appear in the Reply window surrounded by the Attach tags.

There! It sounds complicated at first try, but I could figure it out and I had never even opened MsPaint, and had not messed with this with the fn stuff either!

Now if they could only add a "rotate" tool like the one in Lightroom, I might actually use it.

I gave it a shot. I simplified the case by not changing anything for this test except a new filename.

Turning, you are getting what I would call "too much information"!

The thing here is to combine the fn key with the Alt key so that when you press them together with the PrtSc key you will copy only the active window into the clipboard. That way we can see the active dialog without having to stare at your whole desktop. I mean, imagine having to delete all the evidence of, say, porn surfing before posting your screenshot!

I changed the screen shots a bit, tightening them up a bit (still a bit q&d). The reason I did originally just capture the active window is I wanted to show some context. The reason for the extra room on 2 of the jpgs is I have never us emspaint before and wasn't finding a way to reduce the canvas quick enough. And I can't covert and save on this machine with DPP to trim white off.


But point well taken about extra info.

Anything jump out at you?

Oh yeah, one more shot:
