I read in numerous places that in fact DPP is better at handling RAW images than Adobe Camera RAW, so I'm not surprised. DPP knows about and uses more of the Canon camera parameters than Adobe RAW does, or so I'm told. So many have found it better to do the RAW adjustments in DPP then export to Photoshop.
I was not aware that the resizing could be affected also. It sounds like it would be better to resize in DPP, but be aware that then you can Transfer to Photoshop in 16-bit color TIFF file and not lose any quality by going to JPEG.
Once in PS, I then save as PSD, then you can perform your Photoshop edits with 16-bits tools, before reducing to 8-bit for the remaining adjustments and filters.
Lastly I create any JPEG files I need, so no loss of quality until then. You might try using DPP to get from RAW to TIFF into PS and then reduce and see if that is better. But if not, I wouldn't be surprised if DPP does a better job.
What experience does anyone else have? |
