Nifty new feature in DPP

I've always liked Digital Photo Professional, Canon's high-end RAW-mode photo
editor. It's not very feature-rich, but what it does do it does well. Its
white balance correction is very good, and it has the most convenient cropping
tool I've seen. But it has always had a glaring omission: any way of rotating
an image in increments of less than 90 degrees. If you needed to adjust a
horizon, you had to convert the image to JPEG and do the rotation in some
other editor. (My choice for that was the Microsoft Office Picture Manager,
whose high-resolution display capability is appalling, but which does
rotations in tenths of a degree.)

The latest version of DPP, released late last week, fills that hole. Its
excellent cropping tool has been expanded to include rotations to hundredths
of a degree, with an option to automatically maximize the usable area in the
rotated image. I've been using it for two days, and so far I'm very pleased.
It does a nice job and is relatively easy to use. I think it makes DPP an even
better choice for a Canon user who wants to do serious editing, but isn't
ready to shell out the big bucks for Photoshop or one of its expensive
competitors.

While they were at it, did they also fix the bug, introduced two or three
years ago, that makes DPP sometimes crash while trying to display a JPEG image
that it didn't create? Alas, no.

Does it use Lanczos-8 for its resampling algorithm for all rotations and
resizings? If not, then it will do no better than PhotoSlop for rotations
and resizings, blurring all the fine details down to the resolution of a
$30 toy-store camera. Pixel-peepers only seem to pixel-peep when it comes
to other cameras and software, never their own. Their bliss attained from
self-induced ignorance has too much of a blinding hold on them.

Wouldn't matter. It won't change the truth. It would only change your
feeling so psychotically insecure about reality less often.

The truth is that you're a dumb**** asshole.

Careful, David; Ray will assume you support the nym-shifting pest when
you question the wisdom of his inane and profane one liners.

Well, Ray, I have to conclude you're trying to troll me, pretending
you're so thick that you cannot discern the differences.

And the nym-shifter isn't so much a troll [or Troll] as a pest. Nothing
original comes from him.

Your one liners calling him names and telling him to go away feeds him.
That's why I and others have admonished you to stop, to stfu, to cease
and desist, to ignore.
