    I have recently downloaded DPP 4.8.30. My major difficulty is that, although I have a reasonably fast PC with adequate RAM for most applications, I find this software extremely slow. The worst possible function is in the "partial image adjustment" department. I have not managed yet to "paint" a partial image area correctly. The cursor moves freely, but the brush does not follow but with several seconds' delay. In this does not allow you to see immediately the effects you are creating but when it is too late to make any corrective moves. Is there a later version released yet? I read about DPP 4.9.20; logically this should be a more recent version, but I am not sure how Canon assigns software numbers.

    When is an update coming for applr and pc?

  13. Drake Leroy says

    Will this software work on apple imac 5k or 5k reina displays?

  14. Modecaa Tith says

    When I try to edit, it does not allow me to edit with the basic adjustment, aka the first window. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi, I can not edit the pictures.
    Nothing works no white balance. In the drop down box is (recording attitude) – have the German version, may mean otherwise

  16. Momchil Yordanov says

    At 6:08 your cursor turns into an arrow and you can click and drag to crop. No such thing happens in my DPP 4. The cursor stays in the shape of 4 arrows. Like a + sign with pointers at the end. And no clicking and dragging is possible, which makes the cropping virtually impossible.

    I have a real newbie question. I have DPP open and selected an image. I clicked on Quick Check, backed out of this and went to Edit Image. I can't change even one of the options; brightness, white balance, nothing. They are all greyed out. What did I do wrong? Augh.

  20. Adam Toth says

    Hello, when try to use DPP 4 it always says (Shot settings) under White balance adjustment and Picture style, in the basic image adjustment menu. It doesn't allow me to edit the photo, what is wrong? Why can't I make the adjustments I want?

  21. John Almonte says

    Is there a way to remove chromatic aberrations produced by third party lenses? The lens correction tab is mostly grayed out when I'm editing an image produced with my Tamron lens.

  22. Jeff's Pet Services says

    Very informative videos, thank you.

  23. John Almonte says

    How do I undo all changes and revert to the original RAW file?

  24. TheAyalah says

    What do I need to if I downloaded the software but the option to adjust the brightness and fix the focus of the picture is not allowing me to do any one of these tasks?

  25. nathan smiddy says

    what canon where you using to get that HQ photograph? to me it's sure not a 700D 😛

  26. soumilinon says

    will it ever work on windows 10???

  27. Clive Baumann says

    After editing, do we save as a JPEG file and if so what is the point to RAW files.  I hope someone can give me some advice on this one.
