DPP\'s noise reduction may be great, but the software is anything but a workflow tool.
I disagree.
I find DPP quite good for batch-oriented workflow, and typically I have to spend less time on the images to get the look I want than I have to in LR or C1 (and I own both). Applying batch adjustments or personal white balance changes to multiple images is incredibly fast, and the auto corrections for CA, vignetting and other problems save me a lot of time. And it never suffers from the annoying \"out of memory\" bugs that plague Adobe\'s tools.
There are a few things that DPP cannot do, chiefly: tagging RAW images with IPTC/XMP metadata; arbitrary image rotation; and local adjustments. The metadata tagging is easily accomplished in Bridge, and for the few images that benefit from the other things I can do quickly enough in Photoshop.
In fact, DPP is one reason I shoot Canon and not some other brand.
As the old saying goes, \"one man\'s junk is another man\'s treasure\".
