Canon Powershot G1X RAW-files

Post by Jasn »

Hi!
I'm a new PaintShop Pro X4 user. I Just downloaded a test version and i'm thinking of buying it, but now there's a slight problem. :(
I own a new Canon Powershot G1X camera and raw-files shot with it don't seem to open correctly in PaintShop Pro X4. The Colors are all wrong.
Is there anyway to correct this problem or is there possibly coming an update which solves this problem?
Thanks for any answers in advance! :D

The colours of a raw file will generally be wrong as the program does not know what settings you are wanting and so uses last known settings or a default set which may not be what you want. You will need to move some of the sliders to correct the colours contrast shadows etc to what you want . Then any similar images taken under the same conditions will have the colours correct.

To be honest, you are better off with the excellent software that comes with Canon cameras.
I always use mine as I find the colours in PSPX4 not as good as I would like.
DPP is easy to use.
Otherwise X4 is a good program, especially after installing the first Service Pack.
