It seems that all of a sudden I'm hearing about Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 (DPP4). It is free and looks like it does much of what my Lightroom does. Since it comes free with the camera I automatically dismissed it. Was I wrong to do so? Is it worth putting DPP4 into my photography bag of tricks?

Will Lightroom do everything DPP4 does, and maybe do it better? Saying that, I do like how DPP4 can tell you where your focusing point is. Sounds good - It looks like you need a Canon serial number to download it.

Digital Photo Professional (DPP) is a high-performance RAW image processing, viewing and editing software for EOS digital cameras and PowerShot models with RAW capability. Using DPP you can easily perform basic and advanced editing and printing of RAW images.

I've been using it for quite a while. Had the initial reaction that you did (if it's free, it must not be a good program), but it has some features I like seeing the active AF point and color control. I have heard it also does a better job with Canon RAW files as far as color and noise.

But I never 'finish' an important image in DPP4; always bring it into photoshop for final processing. I followed much the same process, doing a RAW conversion to 16-bit TIFF from DPPv4 to LR where the edit would be 90% complete in DPP but needed finishing in LR. However, I dropped that process more than a year ago after improving my skills in LR and performing several detailed experiments of image to image to confirm the differences in the tools and my skills were immaterial for an all-LR process vs the DPP-to-LR process. Certainly, there is no comparison of overall capability between LR and DPP where Lightroom does everything and DPP handles colors slightly different, initial noise processing better and initial sharpening better, but none of the library functions, and cloning and cropping in DPP are crude at best. Within LR, if you use 'Camera Standard' instead of 'Adobe Standard' in the Camera Calibration of the Develop Module, the color differences between the two tools become immaterial.

I still use DPP to investigate the details of CR2 images to access the EOS specific EXIF data. It seems that all of a sudden I'm hearing about Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 (DPP4).

Saying that, I do like how DPP4 can tell you where your focusing point is. I've used DPP, cannot comment about Lightroom as I don't use it, I used DPP and finished in PSP for a long time, with the new PSP 2018 I moved to using DPP for tough cases and PSP for the converting through finishing, Bob.

It depends on how much you edit. DPP has the are bones basics. Yes LR will do everything DPP can do plus a ton more. If you photos are aimed at FB or instagram and at best and 8x10, DPP will serve you needs. Mortal kombat vs dc dlc.

If you really want a more polished photo it's LR. If you get LR I would get the LR/PS classic combination. Then the sky is the limit on any of your editing needs.

Lightroom does a lot more, but DPP does a few things that Lightroom doesn't. Since it's free, give it a shot. What do you have to lose?

I too have been using DPP as the first conversion step in my workflow for the exact reasons you mentioned - better noise and sharpening (I tested it against ACR and found it to be noticably less noisey), but like you, I found its other functions limited, so I’ve been exporting directly into PS for finishing. Based on your post, I’ll switch to “Camera Standard” and see how the results compare.

Is it worth putting DPP4 into my photography bag of tricks? Will Lightroom do everything DPP4 does, and maybe do it better? Saying that, I do like how DPP4 can tell you where your focusing point is. Really hate Canon on this issue. You purchase a Canon Camera, say a G11. You get DPP3 with it. Then Canon upgrades the software with newer camera bodies and you have to buy a new camera to get access to the DPP4.

The new Canon DPP 4.x The version 4.0.1 of Canon’s Digital Photo Professional is available since 8/7 but I totally missed it. A minor upgrade with bug fixes. Fixes a phenomenon in which when a recipe for other images is applied to images that do not support lens aberration compensation, there are cases that these images can no longer be correctly displayed. DPP 4.0.1 can be. DPP 4 officially only Canon’s latest full-frame cameras (EOS-1D X, EOS-1D C, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 6D).

Canon announced that support for more cameras will be added in the future. In the meantime, you can use DPP 4.x on other cameras by applying this. RAW files from the following DSLRs can then be processed with DPP 4.x: Rebel SL1/EOS 100D, Rebel T4i/650D, EOS M, EOS 70D, Rebel T5i/EOS 700D.
