Playing With DPP and 2 Questions

in4m8n — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 20:04:57 GMT

Hi folks,

Have never used DPP but now with CR3 I am testing DPP and learning. Two questions please:

1. I'd like to double click a thumbnail or group of selected thumbnails and go to the Edit Window instead of the floating window. How can I set that?

2. I see nothing like the Post Crop Vignetting in LR which I use often. Am I missing that?

Thanks.

No on both counts. The only customizing of DPP is in the Preferences section.

Thanks for the reply.

But unfortunate.

Is there any way to display the file name while editing? Not seeing that eother if I select several images to edit and move betwen images.

Thanks again.

If you select multiple images they show in the thumbnails and the selected image is highlighted. Does this do what you want?

Thanks, but no. Prefer to hide the thumbnails and make use of the screen real estate. But no indication what image I am on. Would be nice in the title bar or elsewhere.

It probably depends upon operating system and monitor/driver resolution but in my DPP setup the file name is visible in the Navigator pane in the lower right corner below the selected set of image tools. I agree it would be nice to have the file name displayed at the top as part of the directory (or even instead of when in edit mode).

Thanks, but unless I am wrong you have only one image selected or the arrows would be live. Can you go to browse, select three or four, hit CTL-Right Arrow for Edit and see if that is still there? That is what would be useful for me so I can see which of the selected images I am working on without giving up all the real estate the film strip takes.

Bob,

That portion of the navigation window does remain with multiple images selected for editing, 4 selected in this case as indicated by the counter on the left bottom of the DPP screen.

Thanks again. Exactly what I would like, but does not do that for me.

You know, on second look Roger, yours may only be showing the folder as well and not the image name itself.

The image name shows up in the navigator pane at the bottom of the tool set in the lower right corner. Here is a crop of the second screenshot when I had four files selected for the edit window.

If you hide the tools on the right, then you also lose the navigation pain with the file name in the bottom corner.

I don't find the extra bar at the top of the page with the Edit image, print, save choices to be useful and if you click the arrow above it will hide those slightly increasing your usable screen area. Control left takes out of the edit window back to the image browsing mode.

Now THAT helps! I had the navigator at the bottom of the Edit panel. Movedto the top and suits my need. Thanks!

You are welcome! DPP does a great job with RAW conversion and once you get used to it, you can work with it quickly. It can't do everything PS can but I use it for a lot of images without further processing in PS.

One thing that slows it down even with a very fast machine is if you choose digital lens optimizer early in the process. I suggest doing most of the edits and then run the optimizer near/at the end. I am using a dual processor workstation with a lot of memory and a fast video card with a lot of CUDA cores and DLO still really slows the process.
