Canon software updates

[Octane (Humayun)]

Just thought I'd mention, that Digital Photo Professional has been updated to 3.9.2.0 and now features an unsharp mask tool, and, new label mechanisms.

The new unsharp mask tool is fantastic; I still prefer to perform all my sharpening in Photoshop (if the image makes it that far), but, for all my portrait/wedding work and initial landscape work, this is a blessing. The new labeling system allows up to 5 check marks, and a star rating out of 5. Again, brilliant.

As well as the update to DPP, EOS Utility has now been updated to 2.9.0.

Hi H,

Anything new in the EOS Utility? I use this more than DPP.

Thanks for the heads-up mate.

Unfortunately, unsharp mask doesn't work on TIFF files (only on CR2).
But otherwise yes, very useful
