6. Configure tool features as needed.

   
   1. Select the file format to output. When working with the output file in macOS or processing it with image editing software developed by other companies, select [.CR3] (CR3 image) as the file format.
   2. The image file to be processed is displayed. When adding a file, use the buttons shown in (3) or drag and drop the file to this area.
   3. Add or delete a file.
   4. Set the effect level for [Neural network Noise Reduction] and [Neural network Lens Optimizer] (left: low, right: high). Consider checking the image processing results under default settings before changing the settings.
   5. Specify the save destination of the file to be output.
   6. Click [Execute] after the settings are configured.

7. Click [OK].

   

8. Click [Exit].

   Caution

   • [Neural network Demosaic] is not adjustable.
   • [Neural network Demosaic] is not applied when the output file format is [.CR3].
   • CRN images have a larger file size than the original RAW images (about 10 times larger, depending on the image).
   • CRN files cannot be used in macOS.
   • The output files do not retain the recipes of the original RAW images.
   • Image processing may take some time, depending on the type of computer and video card, file sizes of original RAW images, and other factors.
   • If necessary, consider either setting the effect level for [Neural network Lens Optimizer] or [Neural network Noise Reduction] and applying this tool again or adjusting the sharpness of the resulting output files.
   • Factors such as the condition of original RAW images may make it difficult to obtain your desired effect from this tool.

   Note

   • Applying this tool's Digital Lens Optimizer processing to RAW images captured with lenses not supported by the tool will process the images using the normal Digital Lens Optimizer. Otherwise, diffraction is corrected. Note that diffraction may not be corrected in some cases, depending on the type of lens used.
   • You can check the tool's operating environment by clicking [System requirements check] in the [Settings] menu. This may be useful if you change the computer configuration, for example.
