Cover/Table of Contents Introduction 1 Displaying Thumbnail Images and Performing Basic Edits in the Main Window 2 Performing Detailed Edits in the Edit Window When [Quality priority] or [Standard] is selected in [Operating mode], you can set [Reduce luminance] or [Reduce chrominance]. If you check this checkbox, the edit image window is displayed automatically when you start up EOS Utility. Applies the settings and closes the window. Allows you to set the output resolution default value from 1 to 60,000 dpi when RAW images are converted to JPEG or TIFF images and saved. Cancels all settings and closes the window. You can set the image quality of images when they are displayed, and of RAW images converted to RGB (JPEG, TIFF) images. [Quality priority]: Noise (false color, luminance noise, chrominance noise) reduction processing is performed for both image display and converting/saving, so a more faithful image quality is achieved. However, display and converting/saving of an image takes longer. [Standard] : Noise (false color, luminance noise, chrominance noise) reduction processing is not performed for image display, so the display speed of an image is faster than [Quality priority]. When converting/saving, noise reduction processing is performed as in [Quality priority]. [Speed priority] : Noise (false color, luminance noise, chrominance noise) reduction processing is not performed for either image display or converting/saving, so the image display speed is the same as for [Standard], but when saving/converting the speed is faster than [Standard]. If you check this checkbox, an image opened in the edit window will appear selected in the main window. Select the display mode for displaying the edited and original images for comparison in the edit or edit image window (p.2-3). When [Reduce luminance] of [Noise Reduction settings] is set to [High] or [Low], the noise reduction included in the luminance signal (including jaggies, etc.) may decrease the resolution of some images. Further, when [Reduce chrominance] is set to [High] or [Low], the noise reduction included in the color signal may cause color bleeding of some images. O [Noise Reduction settings] is an effective function to reduce noise when shooting images of night scenes or when shooting images at a high ISO speed. When checking the results of the [Noise Reduction settings] on-screen, select [Quality priority] in [Operating mode]. Luminance noise : A granular type of noise that can occur in images shot at a high ISO speed or images shot at a low ISO speed and have their brightness adjusted. This noise can also appear as jags or serrations on sloping lines. Chrominance noise: Noise that can appear as colored smears or smudges in images shot at a high ISO speed or in the shadowed areas of images shot at a low ISO speed. 3 Performing Detailed Edits in the Edit Image Window 4 Checking an Image in the Quick Check Window Troubleshooting Shortcut Key List Index 1-25
