Digital Photo Proffessional Focus

Newbie here...

I use Zoombroser 5 to rate and catogorize my photos. I have tried
other software and have found nothing that loads as quickly and
handles my 7,000+ photos as easily. I started using Digital Photo
Professional 1.5 to edit my RAW's.

The question is does anybody know how to get DPP to focus on the
photo selected instead of the default directory?

Double clicking on the RAW photo launches DPP but does not open DPP
to the double clicked photo! Instead DPP opens and looks to either
the last folder opened or the default folder neither of which may
contain your double clicked photo.

Just asking, thanks in advance if anyone has the work around.

Personally I'd think long and hard before using DPP. Despite it's improved
workflow interface it's 'interpretation' of the RAW files substantially
misjudges the R component in images (compared to the camera's own
interpretation 10D & 20D).

What would you suggest instead?

Randall,

I have a direct image comparison using an original 20D jpg and the RAW
conversions from...

1) EOS Viewer Utility
2) Breeze Browser Pro
3) Digital Photo Professional
4) Photoshop RAW Plug-In
5) C1 Pro LE
6) DxO

The series comprises 6x ~200KB jpg files. I could post them here but am
unsure of the group etiquette (I am picking this up from Blueyonder's Binary
Server but as there is no 'binary' component in the newsgroup name I don't
want to hack off a load of other users) - though I think a lot may be
interested considering the nature of the group.

If enough users consent I post them here - otherwise, for now, if you let me
have you email address I'll send them to you direct.

Regards

DM

I'll post them for everyone if you send to the address at:

Most providers will not allow binaries so most people won't see them
here even if you did.

I've got them he
http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=Misc/photography/raw-conversion

and below that, as simple images:
http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=Misc/photography/raw-conversion/crop&PICS=9


and with histograms:
http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=Misc/photography/raw-conversion/histogram&PICS=9
Quite some differences.

So any conclusions anyone?

How was the original created?

Paul,

By 'the original' I take it you mean how did I arrive at the composite images side-by-side?

But just in case - to cover all bases...

The original image was shot with a 20D early one morning at a Cross-Country meeting using both RAW and Max JPG. It comes from a sequence of 24 photo's that I'd originally processed using the EOS Viewer Util and then thought I'd see 'what extra' I could extract from the images using the Digital Photo 'Pro'. I love the interface but was appalled at it's handling of the R part of the colour matrix.

Perhaps we need to establish a point of principle he

Personally, I shoot RAW so I have the ability to correct any errors post shooting. However, if the original max quality JPG from the camera (shot simultaneously) looks correct - then I would expect the RAW conversion to give me what the camera JPG was as it's staring point. If, after that, I disagree with the camera's decision - at the time - I can then override it in the software. What I don't expect is to have a disagreement about what the starting point is!!!!

As to arriving at the composited images...

a.. Each 16 bit tif was converted using the respective packages default values and saved without editing, or further processing. The images were then cropped still as a tif (using Thumbs+ Pro) to give identical crops.
[The crop of the jersey was chosen to highlight the problem under discussion without revealing any unnecessary bits of the kids - a topic photographers have to be constantly careful of these days.]
a.. Once all the conversions were available I put them in separate directories for each image comparison & had Thumbsplus make a contact sheet of the 2 file directory with the 'thumbnail' size set to be the exact dimensions on the original tiffs.
b.. Juxtaposing them together with the original jpg was done simply to make a direct comparison easy.
c.. All the original files are available (both RAW & original conversions at max res) if someone doubts that the images shown really represent the accuracy & quality of the originals. None of these images have been altered or processed in any way other than as described above.
Hope this helps folks make their own assessment of the images shown. Personally I was just so disappointed that the DPP from Canon - whose interface I love - was just so far out. However, it was only when I then decided to try out all of the current alternatives that I realised Canon was not alone in having difficulty enhancing on the basic accuracy of the camera's own JPG

Paul,

Thanks first of all for taking the trouble to post these.

Secondly, the histogram analysis was fascinating but I wonder could you do
the same focusing just on the red jumper? The reason I ask is that, despite
showing a marked shift in certain programs I think it would be even more
marked if one just focused on the problem area?

Unfair? Maybe - but I'd be interested nonetheless...

Paul - thanks once again for taking the time to do this - I appreciate it.
