Cannon DPP Help?

[drummereef]

Trying to edit some RAW files taken with my Canon XSI DSLR using Digital Photo Professional. Everything looks great after editing the image using the RAW image tool palette. But, after I Batch Process the image down to a JPEG it looks terrible. Almost like the tweaking I did with the editor didn't take correctly. Just looks completely different than the image in the editor. Settings for the Batch Process are below...

Exif-JPEG
Image Quality 10
Output Resolution 350 dpi (embedded icc profile checked)

Is there something I'm missing here that would cause this to happen?

Its probably that Image Quality set at 10, try upping to 100 if you're going to export in JPEG. Although unless you're exporting it from DPP to upload straight to the web or something I'd export in TIFF as its a lossless format. You can then save your JPEG version after you're done doing your edits in Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever editor you use.

RC hiccup!

Hey Cody. In Digital Photo Professional the highest Image Quality setting is 10. It's a slider that goes from 1-10. I've also tried to raise the dpi to the highest value of 60000 but the images still come out blurry - they look out of focus in comparison to the RAW edited file. This happens both when bouncing to JPEG or TIFF.

I'd really like to use the RAW images but I just can't get the rendered file to be the same, or even close too, the quality of the original RAW.

How weird, I'll have to fire up my other computer a little later so I can take a look at DPP. Its been long enough now I don't remember exactly the different settings you can do when you export. Gotta be a setting somewhere that is doing it.

Awesome Cody, let me know what you find out. It's really strange that it does this. Almost like the conversion is "low quality" after the batch process.
