The Canon 1D CSpro 16-bit* Plugin is a new sharpening technology specific designed to accommodate the Canon 1D SLR files. This plugin is compatible with JPEG files straight from the camera or TIFF/JPEG files converted from RAW.

*This plugin only works with 16-bit files when using Photoshop CS. When using Photoshop Elements 1 and 2, Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0, it will only work with 8-bit files.

The 1D CSpro Plugin is compatible with Photoshop Elements 1 and 2, Photoshop 6.0, 7.0 and Photoshop CS.

 

 

NOTE: PC and MAC FM plugins are offered as separate packages. Make sure to download the correct one for your operation system.

 

Below is an example comparing the 1D RAW file converted to 8-bit tiff with no sharpening as camera parameter against a basic (250, 1, 0) USM setting and 1D CSpro.

1D (no sharpening parameter)

Photoshop USM (Unsharp mask)

1D CSpro

Notice the accentuated halo effect from the Photoshop's USM setting compared to the 1D CSpro. Also pay attention to the amount of noise created by USM. The 1D CSpro does not increase noise and sharpens only what needs to be sharpened.

Now, let's compare USM and 1D CSpro with foliage against the sky. By the way all the samples are 100% crops from full 8-bit tiff files saved as jpg low compression.

1D (no sharpening parameter)

Photoshop USM (Unsharp mask)

1D CSpro

On the above demonstration, you can see that the 1D CSpro does not sharpen the sky (keeping the sky noise identical to the original file) and applies haloless sharpening to the foliage and other elements. Again, these are 100% crops.

It's worth noting that 1D CSpro can be used with any type of images, from portraits, landscape, still-life and especially with HIGH ISO files. It sharpens your 1D files and keeps noise and artifacts to a minimum. (Also works with jpeg files straight from the camera.)
