unaffected.1

DPP’s RAW image development processing technology is continually 
being improved upon so that you can perform the latest image 
processing more appropriately.
Meaning that, between two different vers ions of DPP, processing results 
may differ very slightly even if with the same RAW image data, or the 
results of significant editing of RA W image data with an attached recipe 
may be different.
When you want to save the developing or editing results of the version 
you are currently using as it is, sa ving the image as a separate file (p.80) 
is recommended.
To save the developing/editing results for the version you are 
currently using By saving as a separate JPEG or TIFF image as explained 
above, some image deterioration that accompanies editing/saving 
occurs as when editing with general image editing software.
 By saving as explained above, a trimmed image  (p.62) or dust-
erased image  (p.74 to p.78) actually becomes a trimmed image 
or dust-erased image.

Re-Editing an ImageOnly the image processing conditions  are changed in images adjusted 
with the tool palette  (p.39 to p.79), so the “original image data itself” 
remains unaffected. (The trimming range or dust-erasure information of 
a cropped image (p.62)  or dust-erased image (p.74 to p.78) is simply 
saved to the image.)
For this reason, you can undo any adjustments saved  (p.80) to the 
image, trimming range and dust-erasure information, and revert to the 
condition when last saved, or when the image was shot.1
Select the image that is to be re-edited.

Select the [Adjustment] menu   desired item. The image reverts to the conditions of the selected item.

Utilizing Adjustment Contents (Recipe)All the adjustment contents (recipe) made using the tool palette can be 
saved as an individual recipe file (extension “.dr4”) and loaded and 
applied to another image.
You can edit images effi ciently by selecting and adjusting one image 
from images shot with the same shooting environment and batch 
applying the adjustment results to a large number of images.

palette can be handled 
individually as a recipe file 
(extension “.dr4”).
