stillviking 5 Posted February 28, 2022 Hello wet buddys, I recently moved from DSLR to the mirrorless R. I have always used DPP 3 and it was excellent and fast. It turns out that DPP 4 is so slow to open the new .CR3 files making it impossible to make the selection of photos from a shooting session (check photos when similar (sharp, focus, etc) to delete, etc.). What do you recommend for a quick opening of photos for selection / comparison between them before starting really editing in Lightroom? I can't believe how Canon did DPP4 so much worse than DPP3!

Graggs 3 Posted February 28, 2022 I use ACDSee ... but you will have to check it has support for the latest Canon raw files Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pooley 39 Posted February 28, 2022 I think DPP4 is great, maybe it depends on what machine you're running it on, and maybe there is a support issue for the 'R' files - just guessing there though. That said, I always use Photo Mechanic to view the files before import - a great and really fast program that gets rid of the rubbish files prior to downloading them to your RAW converter Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRoss 150 Posted February 28, 2022 Look at Breezebrowser Pro, it is very fast for reviewing and you can do a fully functional 30 day trial. I use it and have the preview quality set to highest. It is purely a reviewing program - I wouldn't use it for raw conversions. It's Windows only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just finished my trial and I will be buying the software with a smile next time I need to sue it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
