You can set the same noise reduction level for several images by first 
selecting multiple images in the main window, and then adjusting the 
noise reduction level using the [Reduce luminance noise] and [Reduce 
chrominance noise] sliders.
Setting the same noise reduction level for several images If [Reduce luminance noise] is set, resolution may be reduced 
along with reduction of noise.
 If [Reduce chrominance noise] is set, color bleeding may occur 
along with reduction of noise. 
You can also use this palette to adjust the image sharpness. For 
information on making adjustments, s ee “Adjusting Image Sharpness” in

• Preview window: The image is displayed in its cropped condition.
• Edit image window: The thumbnail image is the same as the main  window display, and the enlarged image is the 
same as the preview window display.
 Printing a cropped image
You can print as a cropped image by printing it in DPP.
 The image becomes a cropped image when converted and saved
The cropped RAW image actually becomes a cropped image when 
converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved  (p.80).
 Images that have aspect ratio set will be displayed as cropped 
images
When aspect ratio information is attached to a RAW image, the image 
will be displayed in the set trim ming range based on the aspect ratio 
information. Since the image is not actually cropped, you can change 
the trimming range or revert to its condition before cropping.
However, when a JPEG image is shot in a [4:3], [16:9] or [1:1] aspect 
ratio set with the EOS 5D Mark III or EOS 6D, its trimming range 
cannot be changed or the image cannot be reverted to its condition 
before cropping, since the image is actually cropped and saved in the 
set trimming ratio.*
When reverting to the trimming range that is based on the aspect ratio 
information at the time of shooting, click the [ ] button. Also, if 
you want to cancel all the trimming range, click the [Clear] button.

You can make corrections to any of  the four aberrations as below, either 
one at a time or simultaneously.
 Peripheral illumination 
 Chromatic aberration (color fringing which occurs in the periphery of 
an image) 
 Color blur (blue or red color blur which sometimes occurs at the edge 
of the highlighted area of an image) 
 Distortions 1
Select an image in the main window.

Display the Lens Corre ction tool palette and 
checkmark the items to be corrected. The image is corrected and redisplayed.
 In the main window, the [ ]  mark is displayed on the image to 
indicate that the lens aberration correction is applied  (p.116).
Making Corrections
Enlargement display section
Check the results of corrections to peripheral illumination or 
distortions in the full view.
 Check the results of corrections to chromatic aberration and color 
blur by clicking the area on the image you want to check and 
then checking the enlargement display section in the top of the 
window. You can choose from 4 display scales between 1:1 and 
1:4 for the enlargement display.
 You can lessen the degree of correction by moving the slider to 
the left.
 You can respectively correct red chromatic aberration with the [R] 
slider of the [Chromatic aberration] or blue chromatic aberration 
with the [B] slider.
 To correct distortion aberration of images shot with a fisheye lens 
(EF 8
–15mm f/4L USM Fisheye or EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye), four 
effects can be selected from t he [Effect] list box in addition to 
[Shot settings] normally used for distortion correction.
The level of an effect can be adjusted with the adjustment slider 
located below [Distortion].
For detailed information on each effect, see “Effects of Distortion 
Aberration Correction for Fisheye Lenses”  (p.68).
 For images shot with EF 8
–15mm f/4L USM Fisheye, a fine-tune 
slider is also displayed when you select [Emphasize Linearity] 
from the [Effect] list box. 
Adjust the amount of correction for distortion aberration with the 
adjustment slider, and then adjust with the fine-tune slider if more 
adjustment is required.
 When the list box for selecting an extender is displayed, select 
the extender attached at the time of shooting from the list box.

Effects of Distortion Correction for Fisheye 
Lenses Shot settings
By selecting this option, only the aberration corrections will be 
performed to correct the optical distortions.
 Emphasize Linearity
This converts the image to a “central projection” style image. This 
projection method is employed for general lenses.
Since central projection displays straight lines as straight lines, a 
wide-view panoramic image can be obt ained by selecting this option. 
However, the periphery is stretched, resulting in decreased resolution.
 Emphasize Distance
This converts the image to an “equidistant projection” style image. 
This projection method preserves distance relationships.
Equidistant projection displays a distance in the same distance 
anywhere from the center to the periphery. In particular, when 
shooting a celestial body such as the celestial sphere, same heights 
above the horizon(declination) are c aptured at the same heights. This 
method is therefore used in such photography as celestial 
photography (star maps, solar path diagrams, etc.).
 Emphasize Periphery
This converts the image to a “stereographic projection” style image. 
This projection method emphasizes the periphery.
Stereographic projection allows posit ion relationships on a spherical 
surface, such as N, S, E, W on a map, to be displayed correctly. It is 
therefore used for world maps and monitoring cameras.
By selecting this option, the periphery is stretched and may result in 
decreased resolution.

 Emphasize Center
This converts the image to an “orthographic projection” style image. 
With this projection method, t he center is more emphasized.
Since an orthogonal projection allows a subject of the same 
brightness to be displayed as occupying the same area in the image, 
this method has typical uses in photography for celestial luminance 
distributions and center-emphasized animal photography. By 
selecting this option, the center is stretched and may result in 
decreased resolution.
When selecting any of the options, [Emphasize Linearity], 
[Emphasize Distance], [Emphasize Periphery], or [Emphasize 
Center],  it will yield results similar to that of the selected projection 
method. However, the conversion does  not really apply a change of 
projection method in a strict sense.
Accordingly, be aware that they are not suited for scientific or other 
such purposes.
 When correcting RAW images and if shooting distance information has 
been saved to the image, the slider is set automatically according to 
this shooting distance information. However, if no shooting distance 
information is saved to the image, the slider is set automatically to the 
right end at infinity position and a [] appears above the slider. 
If the image’s shooting distance is not infinite, you can minutely adjust 
the distance by operating the slider while looking at the screen.
 For RAW images shot with MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo or EF 
50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro with Life Size Converter EF, the slider 
indicator changes to [Magnification factor].
 The [Shooting distance information] slider is applied to all the 
correction items with check marks.Shooting Distance Information Slider
