Difficulties with DPP4

[Robert_Ferber]

Is there any Help information for DPP 4.1.50.0?  All I get from the menu pulldown is version information?

If I click on jpg or tif thumbnails they open in a window and I can shrink or enlarge the image and perform editing functions.  This is not possible with CR2 raw images.  They have what looks like an icon for not editable, a pencil and a "NO" icon.  Indeed, I can do nothing with the raw images.  How can I unlock them for editing or otherwise proceed?

"Don't know what Canon was thinking."

Were they thinking?  It is free and it shows it.   But............

The answer is simple!  It is called Adobe Lightroom 5.  Lower your blood pressure and go for it.  You'll be happier you did and have less headaches, too.

But if it is any consulation, brand-N's version is no better actually I consider it worse.

Thanks for your V4 analysis. Considering the large number of pre-5D3 images I've taken since 2004, when I was using the 10D, and later the 5D, I have no choice but to use V3. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done for me, for now.
