Canon EOS 5D EOS DIGITAL Software Instruction Manual Macintosh - Page 24

Processing RAW Images You can specify the same processing parameters for RAW images as for the camera so that the RAW images are optimized for their intended purpose. Also, you can convert RAW images to TIFF images or JPEG images and save or transfer them to other image editing software, as well as attach ICC profiles. 1 Select the RAW image. 2 Select the [File] menu X [RAW image processing]. ¿ The RAW Image Task starts and the main window appears. O Refer to the next page for an explanation of the RAW Image Task window. 3 Adjust the image. O Adjust the image with the [Image Quality Adjustment] window. 4 Click [Save] in the toolbar. ¿ The [Save] window appears. 5 Specify desired settings. 6 Click the [Save] button. ¿ The image is saved. 7 Select the [RAW Image Task] menu X [Quit RAW Image Task]. ¿ The RAW Image Task quits. O Because only the processing parameter settings are changed and they are not added to the RAW image, you can change the parameters multiple times or revert to the condition when the image was shot. In addition, there is hardly any of the image deterioration that accompanies processing parameter changes. O When the [Preview] is selected, every time you set a processing parameter, the image is processed/redisplayed. To process multiple processing parameters in one operation, deselect the [Preview]. After setting multiple processing parameters, click the [Update] button and the multiple processing parameters will be processed/ redisplayed in one operation. O The time needed after setting of processing parameters for processing and displaying an image is approximately 2 to 4 seconds. • The above time is only an estimate. Processing times vary widely depending on the camera model used to take the RAW image, the type of computer, and the subject of the photo. • Processing times are based on Canon testing standards. (When using the following: OS: Mac OS X 10.3, CPU: 1.6GHz PowerPC G5; RAM 512MB) O You can attach ICC profiles to TIFF and JPEG images converted and saved from RAW images. An ICC profile contains color information, such as color properties and color spaces of devices which are authorized by International Color Consortium (ICC). With this ICC profile, many Color Management Systems can minimize the color differences between devices. O RAW Image Task is compatible with Color Management System. In addition, two types of color space are compatible with RAW Image Task, and if the [Apply color matching] checkbox in the [Color Management] in the preferences of ImageBrowser (p.2-17) is checkmarked, sRGB and Adobe RGB images displayed in RAW Image Task are displayed in the same color. sRGB: Windows standard color space. Also widely used for the standard color space for monitors, digital cameras, scanners and other devices. Adobe RGB: A wider color space than sRGB. Mainly used for printing for business purposes.
