Solution

You can process, edit, and print RAW images with the Digital Photo Professional software.*

*If the Digital Photo Professional software was not included with your camera, please download it from the Canon homepage.

When editing a RAW image that you have shot, you can do two things depending on the content: use the camera or use software after downloading the image to a computer.

See the table below for the main operations for editing RAW images.

Editing Content	Camera	Software
Converting from a RAW image to a JPEG image	Not possible	Possible with Digital Photo Professional
Trimming images	Not possible	Possible with Digital Photo Professional
Applying a creative filter to the image	Possible	Not possible
Saving multiple edited images using various methods	Not possible	Possible with Digital Photo Professional
Printing an Image	Printing is possible using the Direct Print function (PictBridge)	Possible with Digital Photo Professional

NOTE

When trimming an image, download the image to a computer, then use software, such as Digital Photo Professional. You cannot trim images or save the results as a different image on the camera.
