Canon DPP4: Adding text

Will Canon DPP4 ever get an option to add text? It amaze me that this is still not a function in the program.

DPP is a wonderful free software. You can make a feature request by visiting Canon USA. At the top of the page there is a [+]Feedback option. You can make product and software feature requests there. You'll need to use another editor in the meantime. I use DxO which has watermarking and text options.

Thanks, I think this is the only feature I am missing in DPP4. //Marius

I did not notice which operating system you use. Gimp is free software and is able to do many things by editing with layers. I sometimes edit a raw file in DPP and save it as a 16 bit TIFF for additional editing in gimp. The 16 bit TIFF contains more information than a JPEG and then I export a JPEG from gimp. I use gimp on macOS and Debian Linux, but many years ago when I had to run Windows at work, I used gimp on Windows.

Thanks! I am a long time Windows user. I have previously used Gimp but it did not suit my needs, but things might have changed. I will check it out. //Marius
