Thanks John, I also found and downloaded the new versions of EOS Utility and Picture Style Editor as well. 

I noticed a new app icons for the these and also the camera connect app on my iPhone.

John,

In the new DPP is a settings to prioritise speed of processing over quality for raw images. I have just tried the two options on one of my EOS R6 Mark II images.

Quality priority (the default) - 32.7 seconds

Speed priority - 2.9 seconds

This is running on an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM

So far as I can remember, the speed vs. quality choice has been available previous versions. I always choose quality because I have time to wait for it.

Manual mentions it here: https://cam.start.canon/en/S002/manual/html/UG-04_EditImage_0040.html#EditImage_0130_4

Hi John,

I just tried another machine with an older version 4.18.10 and it doesn't have the same choice as appears in the new version. I also had the pop-up appear highlighting the new choice.

I have a 2019 27 inch iMac, "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz" , upgraded to 96 GB RAM.

One thing that seems to me to speed up DPP is to exclude ~/Library/Application?Support/Canon_Inc_IC/DPP4/DppMWare/Cache from timemachine backups. It seems like timemachine will lock the directory while running and pause DPP.

30 seconds for digital lens optimizer is similar to the time for capture sharpening in rawtherapee or R/L deconvolution in GMIC. Reducing the number of iterations will speed up R/L at a cost to quality.

I hadn't noticed the speed options before. This makes quite a difference! I've always liked certain things about DPP (tethering & live shooting, but also their compare modes and decent DAM options) but historically have never routinely used it because of the sluggish response from the sliders. I may now actually use this software for things other than tethering. Wow!

Hi Guys,

I got the new CC App for Android last night.  Used it today.  Worked fine.  

I'll grab the new version of DPP tomorrow.  Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: I found the menu option to clear cache and that does delete those files.

If there is support for Canon Digital Photo Professional here, is it okay on macOS to remove

~//Library/Application Support/Canon_Inc_IC/DPP4/DppMWare/Cache/DPRAW/*.bin

There are some very old and large files there. Are they used? Can the same be accomplished by saving a recipe and reapplying it when the same DPRAW file is loaded again?

Thanks

John

Thanks John!  I tried to update it via DPP like I always do (Windows version) and it shows no update available (I had the prior version which I have been running for a long time).  So next I went to Canon support and selected my 1DX III and clicking on the usual sofware downloads/updates takes you to creating a support ticket.  Fortunately a Google search for DPP got me to the download portal but this is the first time I have run into this type of disorganized stuff with Canon.
