Select the eyedropper and click on an area in the image that should be white, has detail and is not blown out. To correct a colour cast in your images, a simple and highly effective method is to neutralise the cast using the Click White Balance eyedropper, which is available in both the Basic and Tone Adjustment palettes. DPP is regularly updated to support new Canon cameras and features – so do check for the latest version and download it to get the best from your images.

Here we'll look at just a few of the key functions in DPP, with advice on how to use DPP to get the best from your images.

Plus, where other software might give you the option to apply your 'previous conversion' settings to the next RAW file you open, DPP can save custom sets of adjustments as Recipes, including as many or as few settings as you choose, which can be applied to other images at any time. Also, if you've used a camera capable of shooting Dual Pixel RAW, DPP can interpret the DPRAW depth map and make micro adjustments to the position of maximum sharpness. For example, DPP includes exclusive advanced features such as the Depth Compositing tool for focus stacking (combining a set of bracketed images into a single image with greater depth of field, meaning more is in sharp focus, whether it's a macro subject or a landscape). If you want to fine-tune your image, then DPP still has advantages over many popular third-party RAW processors. They just won't be applied as you intended. You can remove or modify the Picture Style in DPP too, of course, or replace it with another, but the critical thing is that other RAW processors, while they might apply their own approximations, actually don't understand your image settings – and that includes custom white balance, advanced noise reduction and other settings. This is probably most noticeable if you shoot RAW with the Monochrome Picture Style: open the file using other software and it will open as a colour image. Why use DPP? DPP is the ideal RAW processor because it has been developed specifically to work with files from Canon cameras, with optimal support for Canon features such as Picture Styles, Auto Lighting Optimizer and lens aberration corrections. Post-processing is an integral part of many pro photographers' workflows – an indispensable step if you shoot RAW – but are you getting the best results? Canon's own RAW processing and photo editing software Digital Photo Professional (DPP) is free of charge and is more capable than you might have realised.
