Trimming and Adjusting the Angle of an Image
You can trim only the part of an image you need, or change the composition of an image where an image shot horizontally becomes vertical. You can also adjust the angle of an image before trimming. Note that when [Circle] is selected in [Aspect ratio], the area not selected is only filled in with black, and the image is not trimmed.

The trimming range can be moved by dragging.

Edit image window: The thumbnail image is the same as the main window display, and the enlarged image is the same as the edit window display. - Printing a trimmed image
- You can print as a trimmed image by printing it in DPP.
- The image becomes a trimmed image when converted and saved
- The trimmed RAW image actually becomes a trimmed image when converted to a JPEG or TIFF image and saved. (Saving as a JPEG or TIFF Image)
- Images that have aspect ratio set will be displayed as trimmed images
- When aspect ratio information is attached to a RAW image shot with some cameras, the set trimming range based on the aspect ratio information is displayed. Since the image is not actually trimmed, you can change the trimming range or revert to the condition before trimming. However, when a JPEG image is shot in a [4:3], [16:9] or [1:1] aspect ratio set with the EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 6D, EOS 70D, EOS 60D, EOS REBEL T5i/700D, EOS REBEL SL1/100D, EOS REBEL T4i/650D, EOS REBEL T3i/600D, EOS M2 or EOS M, its trimming range cannot be changed nor reverted to the condition before trimming, since the image is actually trimmed and saved in the set trimming ratio.* When reverting to the condition before trimming is performed based on the aspect ratio information at the time of shooting, click the [Reset] button. Also, if you want to cancel all the trimming range, click the [Clear] button.
*When shooting with EOS 5D Mark III and [Add cropping information] is set in Custom Functions, aspect ratio information is only set and the image is not actually trimmed, even for JPEG images.
