Ever look at your photos and wish you could tweak the colors, contrast and sharpness with little to no effort?
Today I want to share with you a little known feature that makes it easy to apply “filters” in-camera to get a creative look.
Following up on The VW 158 Custom Picture Style Collection Picture Profile Post some have asked for instructions on how to install the Picture Styles Picture Profiles or CPS. So we thought we would help out those that are a little lost putting the Picture Styles Picture Profiles onto their cameras. All information set out here is gleaned from Canon websites on how to add Custom Canon Picture. The VisionColor™ Picture Styles bundle for Canon EOS DSLRs. Including the original VisionColor & VisionTech color optimization profiles and CineLook & CineTech in-camera cinematic grading profiles. Compatible with all Canon EOS digital SLR cameras that support custom picture styles in pf3 format. See installation instructions below. Battle tested and loved by tens of thousands of filmmakers.
Whether you prefer vivid colors, softer pastel hues or black and white, Picture Controls (Nikon) and Picture Styles (Canon) give you the ability to “edit” your images beforehand and without an extra step.
A couple things to keep in mind…
- Picture Controls/Styles are applied to JPEG images, so the image quality has to be set to either JPEG or RAW+JPEG.
- Once a JPEG photo has been taken with a certain Picture Control/Style, you can’t go back and reverse it to something else. So if you shoot a JPEG photo in black and white, it will be black and white forever. I recommend shooting in RAW+JPEG, that way you have a RAW image that retains the color in case you want to reverse it later on.
If you’ve played with Picture Controls/Styles recently, I’d love to see them. You can post your photos to my Facebook page.
Thanks again to each of you who respond each week with a like or comment, it really does mean the world to me. Happy shooting! :)

Anyway, here's the USA Canon site with the 5 downloadable Picture Styles. I haven't tried it yet. Weird thing is they offer you 5, but can only upload 3 at a time to your camera, at least for the 30D that is the case. 'Ne nuntium necare' LOG IN TO REPLY |

00silvergt00silvergt THREAD STARTER 3,309 posts Likes: 6 Joined May 2007 Location: Vacaville, CA | No, these are new presets from Canon which includes hidden settings, e.g. If you look at the control panel, Neutral and Faithful is set the same way, but the pictures look different. Checkout the page my friend and see. Also I would like to remind everyone or point out these of course only applies to JPEG shooters. RAW files save the Picture Style data, but it is not applied. Thanks. 'Ne nuntium necare' LOG IN TO REPLY |

No, but you can use DPP, read the page and you will see a link to 'How to apply Picture Styles to pictures in Software'. It will show you step by step with screen shots.
