    Default DPP 4.2.31 Help please

    Hi guys
    When I open DPP 4 and try to view older files, I get this funny pen looking tool and the circle with the line through it. I cannot see exif or magnify the view.

    For example, the below screen capture shows files taken with a borrowed 1DMkIV don't have it and I can magnify, check exif, use the tools etc. The ones taken with the 1DMkIII are a no go.

    Any ideas? TIA!

    DPP 4 does not support all Canon camera models and the 1D MkIII is one of htose not supported. The pencil/circle combinationmeans you cannot use DPP4 to convert the raw files.

    For the MkIII you will have to revert to DPP 3.x

    Oh, I thought that might be a possibility. What a joke Canon! They really suck with all this digital crap. With film we'd never have so many problems, except trying to put a Nikon lens on a Canon body.

    Thanks Mike!

    If you use Photoshop, their Adobe Camera Raw will convert your files very nicely. (The same raw conversion engine is in Lightroom with what I find to be a nicer interface and more fully-featured package designed for photographers.) It's reverse limitation is that at some point an older version will require an upgrade to support the newest cameras.

    I shot film for years and I wouldn't give up the advantages of digital raw capture and optimization for anything.

    Thanks Dianne

    I normally only use DPP to review and ditch images after I initially cull with Photo Mechanic that has a nice interface for quickly scrolling through a day's shoot.

    My normal workflow is via ACR anyway. I do think the lack of backwards compatibility is pretty sad.

    Not sure if Canon is going to up grade DPP4 for the older Raw files not sure why they would not. You can still use DPP3 if you need to convert older files and want to use Canon software

    Canon have included all cameras that they currently officially support in the latest DPP. The 1D3 is no longer a supported product (they no longer make parts for it). But it seems that Canon is still providing some updates from time to time for DPP 3.X which will continue to support their legacy cameras all the way back to the EOS D30.
