    Default DPP 4 Workflow

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I have been using Arash Hazeghi's and Arthur Morris' book "The Photographer's Guide to Canon Digital Photo Professional 4.4" to edit my raw files. I have been creating a TIF, then editiing that TIF in PS CC 2017.

    Today, I was wondering why I even needed to create a tif. So, I edited in DPP 4, saved, went to Finder, right clicked and selected Open with Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.

    I was surprised to see that the RAW file opened in Bridge looked like the RAW file PRIOR to editing in DPP 4. I assumed that after making changes in DPP4 to a RAW file, all other programs would see those changes.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks!
    Marlo Casabar

    Hi Marlo

    Adobe programs cannot read the changes made to the CR2 file by DPP. When you make changes to the RAW file with Canon DPP it doesn't change the content of the RAW file, rather it adds instructions about how to process that data, this instruction is not readable by 3rd party software. Additionally, opening a RAW file in Adobe programs totally defeats using DPP as Adobe software will render and convert the RAW by itself.


    hope this helps

    Hi Arash and Marlo
    What is the advantage of editing in DPP then export as TIFF then open in LR or PS? Why not just edit your RAW file straight in LR or PS?

    Hi Mike
    DPP is a raw converter for converting your canon RAW files with the highest quality possible. If you use DPP you will never need LR and there is no point in using it. PS is however for post processing of TIFF files including but not limited to cloning, selective NR and selective sharpening. Hope this helps

    it's basically there to help the basic consumer do what they need to do after the image is off the camera.
