Only after I re-converted the RAW file in DPP and used Arash’s workflow did the 100% crop look so good with superb image quality and tons of fine detail. For more on the creation of this image and to see the full frame photograph click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The Digital Photo Professional RAW Conversion Guide<\/h3>\n

The Digital Photo Professional RAW Conversion Guide by Arthur Morris with Arash Hazeghi is complete and available. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have long resisted doing conversions in Digital Photo Professional (DPP), the software that comes on a CD in the box with your new Canon camera. I tried it a few times, found that the interface was not as user-friendly as with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), and did not see any great advantages to using it. ACR was fast and the results were excellent. <\/p>\n

When I began working with images from my new EOS-1D X, I noticed right off the bat that the colors were off and that the image quality was poor at best. Skilled photographer Arash Hazeghi had been using DPP for quite some time, often touting its benefits in the Avian Forum<\/a> at Bird Photographer\u2019s.Net<\/a>. With phone help from Arash, I began converting my 1D X images in DPP explicitly following his instructions. The images looked so good and so clean with accurate color that before long I was converting all my 5D Mark III, 1D Mark IV, and 1D X images in DPP and loving the results. <\/p>\n

In this new eGuide (sent via e-mail as a 19-page PDF) I share everything that Arash taught me. I encourage you to give DPP a shot even if like me you tried it before and did not like it…. There is a good reason that Arash has a PhD!<\/p>\n

In addition to being far superior to ACR conversions of 5D III and 1D X files, DPP conversions are also superb with RAW files from older cameras such as the 1D Mark IV.
