Now then, there are six preset modes: Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome (followed by Custom1, 2 and 3 in the image below). I’ll be using those settings in that order for the remainder on this post: Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation and Color Tone. All in this image have a setting of zero next to them. From the left, those symbols represent the setting for Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation and Color Tone (Hue). This information is from a Canon 7D but is relevant to most of the DLSR line with the Picture Styles settings. Let’s take a look at the settings themselves first. One note: A wide range of possibilities opens up to adjust Picture Styles on RAW images in programs like Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software or BreezeBrowser, and that is a whole other ball of wax for another post. But what real affect do the various settings like Standard, Portrait and, more so, the custom adjustments I can make, have on the final image if I want quick, out of the camera punch or neutral rendition? It is only set to make changes to JPEG images produced by the camera. For the most part I shoot in RAW and it has no impact there. ![]() I have done it once before but today I got very curious just what the Picture Styles feature on a lot of Canon DSLRs actually does. I’ll admit that today was the day I picked up the manual for my camera.
