The Canon Professional Network started a Digital Photo Professional video tutorials series. There is one new video tutorial coming each week.

Welcome to the Digital Photo Professional video tutorial section! CPN writer and software expert George Cairns unpacks Canon’s popular workflow software and explains key components with video demonstrations on how it can make a difference to your RAW workflow.

We will be publishing one video per week over the next 11 weeks, looking at particular elements of the software, with each video accompanied by a pdf mini guide and sample imagery used in the tutorial. Collect all 11 guides to build up the ultimate DPP library!

The first Digital Photo Professional video tutorial is “Get organised”. If you prefer you can get the tutorial by reading the PDF file, or just head over to the Digital Photo Professional video tutorials page (click here).
