Solution
With Digital Photo Professional, you can perform the following types of saving according to your requirements.
| Save | Add adjustment contents (recipe) made with the tool palette to a RAW image and save. |
| Save as | Add adjustment contents (recipe) made with the tool palette to a RAW image and save as a separate RAW image. The original RAW image remains unaffected. |
| Add thumbnail to image and save | Create a new thumbnail image for the main window and save to each image. The quality of images in the main window improves and images redraw themselves more quickly. |
| Convert and save | Convert adjusted RAW image to a JPEG or TIFF image and save. The original RAW image remains unaffected. |
| Batch process | Convert in batches adjusted multiple RAW images to JPEG or TIFF images and save. The original RAW images remain unaffected. |
For details about each of the above saving methods, please refer to the following.
All the contents (recipe) adjusted with the tool palette as well as the trimmed range information can be saved to a RAW image or to a separate RAW image.
The adjustments made with the tool palette and the dust erase processing can also be saved in a RAW image.
