Review: Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Even with the 'Fine Detail' profile enabled? I haven't used in-camera JPEGs in years, but selecting 'Fine Detail' improved video quality a lot for me! DPP4 will also use the profile you have selected in the camera.

Adobe already effectively have a process to do that. Adobe's software also competes with DPP and you can bet that there would be internal political pressure at Canon to not supply Adobe with that information.
No. Canon is known for stopping the sending of review copies of cameras and lenses if you provide the Internet with bad reviews of their equipment or call them out all the time. When you make money from "first" reviews, you're not going to bite that hand that feeds you.

I don't buy that for a second. Adobe is the 800lb gorilla of software and I'm sure Canon has a close and positive working relationship with Adobe. Canon has much more to lose by not cooperating with Adobe than Adobe has. Canon knows that DPP is just a gnat on the windshield of processing software and has no interest or financial reason to jeopardize their relationship with Adobe for the sake of DPP.

Where can I find that? I only found settings for changing the JPEG quality from 0 to 10 or so. I always opted for the highest quality. I also disabled JPEG sharpening and all noise reduction that I can disable.

It should be in the Camera icon menu under 'Picture Style'. The presentation is a bit disingenuous, every style listed has a different baseline, so the individual adjustments are against that specific baseline, you can't recreate a style on your own by copying the slider settings.

I only have the picture styles Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Natural and Monochrome.

i assume dpp is there so that canon can claim owners can access all of the advertised functions of the equipment without 3rd party products and without disclosing protocols and formats. some users it is good enough so as not to have to rent the adobe stuff.

all of this stuff are tools to be used within a system. when i bought into the EF system i chose to mount a ef28-70L to my elan-7e and used various developer/print makers to see the results. In that system, a lens with noticeable geometric distortion would not have produced the results i was looking for. Some folks might still be shooting and processing film and digital correction may still not be an option. I used a tamron 28-300 for a light weight travel rig, and while that lens has some distortion i was pretty pleased with the results i obtained with correction. This was for me a better tool and system choice for different goals.

Just a side note. I noticed that when I downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw, the default setting was to have the "apply lens profile" option checked. I had to turn it off. I wonder if this is a function of the move to mirrorless.

Every time someone buys a Canon camera that comes packaged with DPP, they're paying for DPP. So yes, DPP does make money for Canon. You pay for everything in the box, camera, battery, strap, charger, manual(s), and software package. You don't buy "just the camera".

Adobe has to wait for a retail version of the product to test and develop profiles with - for reasons that should be obvious.
That and there is always a lag between when a Canon camera/lens is released and when ACR/LR support it.
Or people compare LR/ACR images with those from other products that do apply this correction automatically and decide the non-Adobe product is better.
Or they surveyed users and found that many had it in profiles and wanted it enabled by default because it suitd their workflow better.
Mirrorless cameras have been around for ages now...

So what?
If I buy a Canon camera, I get DPP no matter whether I use it or not.
If I buy Adobe software, I can buy a Canon camera if it's supported by Adobe, or I can buy a camera from another manufacturer that is better supported by Adobe.
In which of these scenarios Adobe software and DPP compete for my money, and how exactly?

I am still looking for a way to import camera profiles into Lightroom 5.7. With lens profiles that works great. I can just download Adobe Camera RAW for free and copy the profiles to Lightroom. Unfortunately the same trick does not work for camera profiles. So with a mirrorless camera I would have to switch to a different software, as I will never pay for a software subscription.

By that logic, Canon makes money on camera boxes, and competes with Adobe to sell packaging material. Oh, wait…that’s not really logical, is it?
No doubt Canon covers the costs of DPP development through camera sales, in the same way they cover the costs of printing warranty cards. But no one ‘buys’ warranty cards, and Canon doesn’t sell DPP. It’s a free download.
