So confused
Stu, I had the same problem. Turned out the Canon 40D in my case (and probably the 550D in your case) is a 14 bit file. DSS is working in 16 bit so the Canon image is only scaled 0 to 2^14 = 0 - 16384 whereas DSS is working in 16 bit ie 0 to 65536. That's why it appears darker. As jjj has indicated you then need to stretch the data because it is now ranged to 16bit.

Cheers,
