Fortunatley Canon provide a program called DPP (Digital Photo Professional), which comes on a CD with Canon DSLR cameras or can be downloaded from the web free of charge. The images were sharp and technicallly satisfactory, but the colour balance, colour depth and contrast were sometimes poor. Quite frequently I didn't like the results. It does that without allowing any control of the process. They did make available, free of charge, an app called DNG Converter, which converts RAW files to a format that makes them readable by the 'old' version of Adobe Camera RAW. But the people at Adobe - God bless them - decided that they would only provide the Camera Raw upgrade for users of Photoshop CC. That needed a new version of Adobe Camera Raw to convert the images to a Photoshop-readable format. ![]() That caused me no problem initially I like CS6 and it does all I need to do, until I upgraded my camera to the Canon 5D MkIV. Having recently shelled out several hundred pounds for CS6, I was reluctant to pay a monthly 'rental' for the new Photoshop CC. Shortly after that Adobe changed its policy forcing users of the next upgraded version to pay a monthly subscription for continued use of the product. I purchased my version of Photoshop - CS6 - outright and it wasn't cheap. But circumstances are making it progressively more difficult. There are alternatives to Photoshop and if I were starting from scratch I would explore them, but I have been using Photoshop for over 20 years and it meets all my requirements and I am comfortable with it. That done, the procedure used to be conversion of RAW files using Adobe Camera Raw for processing in Photoshop, but I have had to change that as explained below. After downloading image files to the computer I screen them using Adobe Bridge. I process my images on either an iMac or a MacBook. ![]() There is plenty of information elsewhere on the web to explain and justify this over the JPG format, so I will not elaborate.
