Processing Raw Images - Canon EOS-1Ds Software Manual

Processing RAW Images

RAW images are processed so that they are optimized for their intended purpose. As well as
providing the same color matrix and white balance settings, etc. as the camera, File Viewer
Utility allows you to specify digital exposure compensation, tone curve adjustment and white
balance adjustment using click white balance as additional processing parameters.
This processing does not involve working with the original RAW images. It applies virtual
parameters to RAW images temporarily downloaded to the computer. Accordingly, you can
redo the processing repeatedly with different parameters.
You can also change the modified parameters back to the settings used when the shot was
taken.
