hjoseph7 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>Canon DPP does not save the changes you made to an image unless you open the image in DPP. Unless I'm doing something wrong, whatever changes I make in DPP whether sharpening, cropping or color balance then save the image, if I open the image in another software package such as Photoshop elements, Gimp or Helicon Software even Photo.net just to name a few, the changes I made in DPP do not register ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin_mattson1 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>Correct. DPP "recipes" are lossless parametric adjustments, as occurs in Lightroom or Capture One. They're just metadata until you decide you want a file with those adjustments permanently baked in.</p> <p>If you want those adjustments to be available outside of DPP, you need to process the file out into a TIFF (or JPEG, or PNG, or whatever).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>I tried saving the file into JPEG Colin, but when I open it up in any other software package the changes are gone ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>Are you working with Raw files? Sorry if it's obvious, but you do know you never really "save changes" with raws, it's just your raw processing program remembering your preferences? No changes are ever actually made or applied to the raw file.</p> <p>FWIW, I can't abide DPP, just for the interface. My pref is Photoshop's Bridge for working with raw files, that took me while to get comfortable, but it seems more doable. ;)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_1172872 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>After you have made changes to the raw file, use 'convert and save' to TIFF or jpeg in order to save with your changes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>It seems like saving in JPEG is the problem, when I save in Tiff all my edits are preserved. I'll keep you posted...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin_mattson1 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 <p>That's an odd one. It <em>should</em> work correctly regardless of the output format.</p> <p>Are you up-to-date with version 3.14.15?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudor_apmadoc Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 <p>I think what you're looking for is Lightroom. It will allow you to make adjustments to your raw files, but it doesn't modify the actual raw file, it logs the changes you make to a sidecar file.<br> Things like exif info, captions, keywords are all written the any .tif, .jpg files you create.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 <blockquote> <p>[LR] logs the changes you make to a sidecar file.</p> </blockquote> <p>Only if you tell it to. Default setting logs the changes to the catalog only.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
