Subscribed! I've been mucking about with post-processing software for, oh, I don't know, 15 years or more, and I've never heard as good an explanation of Levels and Curves as I did watching this video. "Remapping" nails it for me. Thanks much.
I am wondering why it’s not possible to move the shadow beyond -9 s the gamma adjustment shows a minimum value of approx -11 but the shadow is stuck at -9. Why was it made like that just curious. Whereas on the highlight side we can move the highlight until +6 from its current position of +4. Can’t find any info on the web so asking here hope some one has insight into this
Thanks a lot for creating this series of videos on how to use DPP. In my opinion a very powerful (and free) editing software, that Canon gives away for Canon EOS users. Really no need for Lightroom - well LR has some features that DPP dont, but I like DPPs RAW converter and until now I have never really been as familiar with LR as with DPP - and I very much like the DPP way of file handling. No index, not library - just browsing the filesystem! Much easier, and much more logic - to me at least....
Why shoot in RAW, when only we have to save them back to a JPEG file to view them with picture viewers and I am not sure but not all viewers will decode those RAW files. Please, someone help me with this one.
RAW files contain much more data. You can bring back blow-out highlights. You can adjust color. You can brighten up underexposed areas without as much digital noise appearing. Etc. You cannot do any of this as well in the JPG format.
I see where you are going with the corrections. It just seems the washed out spots are still extremely washed out. There is a lack of balance. Shouldn't we just trust our eyes sometimes over a histogram? It's a great tool, but wood, hammer, and nails build a house, but it takes a person to build it.
From a UI perspective LR is polished but from a camera and lens perspective DPP4 to me is superior. It has the camera and lens information directly from the manufacturer. Whereas LR I say has derived lens profiles by Adobe. DPP4 software renders canon colours more accurately than LR.

Is this software on a par with lightroom etc?
