cardoni Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I make changes to an Image in Digital Photo Pro and save changes and exit. If I go back to the image using DPP the changes are there, but if I use microsoft photo viewer it is still the same untouched image. How do I make changes so even if another software is used to view the image the changes are still there?Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 You can't make changes to a RAW file. The changes you see in DPP are software tags or a recipe that instructs DPP to process the RAW file a certain way. Unfortunately most other RAW converters are unable to read these tags or recipe and so your image is opened at the program's default. If you set certain parameters in camera, e.g, Landscape or extra saturation, DPP will display them as default tags when opened, saving lots of tweaking time. However most other programs will not and thus require additional adjustments to recreate the default settings seen in DPP. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardoni Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks for the answer Puppy Face, but how then people make changes to their images(e.g. sharpen) and post them on the web and the sharpness is still there? By the way my images are all jpg. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_fouche Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If you want modifications you make in DPP to be viewable by other software, use DPP to convert the modified image to TIF or JPG format. Then open the TIF or JPG file in other software of your choice. TIF, although more resource-intensive than JPG, is "lossless." But any decent imaging program can read or write both JPG and TIF.

awindsor Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Really DPP is the wrong software to edit JPG but to answer your question you need to "develop" the image to make the changes stick. This is done by selecting "Convert and Save" from the file menu. DPP will not alter your original JPG unless you save over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas_kyprianides Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 It is the same even among Canon's own software. Canon didn't make their Imagebrowser software capable to see and interpret recipes accomplished in Digital Photo Professional. You just see the raw images as shot. There should be a preference setting for it to see and interpret for convenient viewing raw photos before batch processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardoni Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thank you all. But I still don't know if it is possible or not. Noone suggested details on how to do it, and some say it is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
