Re: Sharing DPP tips - DLO, not LSO

My brain must have stopped working

Some months ago, I asked a question Canon 550D, time to replace?I received quite a few nice suggestions. I have made my mind up to ask for a Christmas present

On the other hand, as a by-product, I learned of the DPP from Lightgreen and its DLO from AnthonyL. I tried the old 550D and I found DPP4 is really useful.

I'd like to share some limited experience here for those who, just like me, do not like editing photos.

1. First of all, as long as a photo is shot with a Canon lens, always apply DLO. Don't forget set sharpness as 0.

2. Always apply Gamma Auto, then do manual adjustment. Gamma Auto will indicate which way to go

3. Of course, adjust Histogram

The above #1 and #2 can be built into a "recipe" file, and the then, do the Ctrl+A to "Select All" and at the "Edit" tab, choose "Read and paste recipe from file ..."

There is a link that is useful Digital Photo Professional (DPP) 4 Tutorial Videos There are many DDP4 videos.

Do you have anything to share?
