And DPP is Canon's Photo processing software (Digital Photo Professional). As far as workflow goes (compared to Lightroom) its a distinguished mentally-challenged step child with Hep C but its supposed to be much better at handling Noise Reduction and Sharpening (also Color accuracy) in Canon RAW files. My work on a picture consists of me messing with Exposure, White Balance, Contrast, Sharpening and Noise Reduction within DPP then throwing it to CS3 to finish it up.
Here's a link to DPP 3.5 (Canon hasn't released it yet, on the net. Its sent with the Canon 50D):
http://www.badongo.com/file/11567980The only issue is that, you need to edit your registry and add the key Canon and under that DPP within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software. Reason being, Canon releases this software as an update that you install with the provided Canon software on the CD that came with your camera, even though the file itself is the whole program
. Its one of the bigger boneheaded decisions I've ever seen.
Also, if your into Post Processing beyond trying to fix your pictures to look correct, Alien Skin Exposure is pretty awesome. Its made to emulate old school Color and B&W film. Here are some examples I made up myself...
