Hi I have a canon EOS 40D and usually shoot in Raw. As I use CS2, which doesn't support the 40D raw file conversion, I have to use DPP to open the Raw files. I usually tweak exposure and RGb as necessary before pressing 'Alt+P' to transfer the files to photoshop.

Problem I am having is that none of the tweaks I do in DPP are transferred over to Photoshop an image similar to Raw 'flat' image is transferred. What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks in advance.
Chris

Not sure but I've noticed I have to save the tweaks in DPP before transferring the image to Photoshop. I have CS4.

I cannot make this out at all Chris. I have been using DPP and CS2 for 40D raws with no problems whatsoever - any changes I make in DPP is picked up in CS2 when I transfer (as a 16bit tiff) by Alt + P.
Have you tried doing a exaggerated tweak in DPP like adjusting the Brightness (exposure) very dark or very light in DPP and then sending to CS2, just to make sure that it is not being picked-up in CS2.

I agree with doing a ridiculous alteration just to make sure. If they are only small adjustments that aren't showing up I wonder if there is a colour space issue ie a shift from sRGB to aRGB or DPP is using a different profile to CS2

I'm now less sure that I have to save changes. I forgot today and the file that was transferred to Photoshop looked fine.

No, you do not have to save anything in DPP Graham, just do the tweaks and send to PS and the raw is auto converted to a tiff (or jpeg) with all the changes intact.

Thanks, Roy! I'll remember that.

This must be an issue with Vista. On my desktop I have vista and this is where I get the problem. On my laptop I have XP and there is no problem!

I have upgraded DPP to the latest version so I think I an snookered and will have to process the images on the laptop (not ideal) or fork out for a CS4 upgrade and edit the raw files directly in Photoshop.

Thanks all. Chris

Chris, I know it is a bit long winded but you could always do a 'Convert and save' in DPP and then just open the tiff in CS2.

Thanks Roy,
I will give that a try.
