Yes
reason being sonny boy number 1 took out the 5D and messed around with sharpness ans boy did i (blind Merc notice a difference:cool:) i sharpen in DPP + shoot RAW , and never needed much, but after sonny boy messing around there is a vast difference.


so go one give us your best setting we may learn something from this

going to leave my setting out as i don't believe they are right:bang:

so setting for all types of togging

so go on give us your best settings and say motor sport, wildlife, etc. don't know if this will help us all, but it may unravel basic camera set ups.

Best settings; shoot in raw then none of the picture styles take effect. (Unless of course you're press or something and need the JPEGs out of camera).

EDIT: Just re-read your post and you say there is, is that a DPP thing that it applies what you had in camera to the raw file? I use Lightroom and apply preset things through that so it doesn't affect me.

I just shoot RAW and load the defaults into Adobe RAW. If it's a landscape shot I will often warm up a little, and generally sharpen all shots a small amount. I never over-sharpen though as I feel it ruins shots, and a correctly focused shot with a good lens won't need much anyway.

As far as the other settings go, I usually leave as is unless I've forgotten a hood and have suffered low contrast as a result ;)

So if you shoot in raw the the picture styles have no effect ???, it must be my eyes the as i sharpened in standard and shot raw and i am sure there was a difference:shrug:


reading this thread from another forum here about a 3rd way down DPP recognises picture style but PS does not ???


so in DPP is it better to use default picture styles or change them ??? the image you view on camera screen is a small jpeg and not a raw file, so will it be different to the one you see on screen in DPP. confused

Merc the bemused:gag:

Yes if you shoot in RAW the styles will not have any effect, the picture styles are implimented when the RAW file is processed to JPEG in camera.
 
just spent 1/2 hour adjusting sharpness in picture styles and by Christ i swear there's a difference. all in DPP a definate improvement.:thumbs::clap:


so whats going on then

just read this,



DPP (being Canons own program) not only recognises the picture style setting within the rawfile, it also knows its meaning (the collection of settings) ... and by design, it will use these settings as default/start-values for the raw-conversion. When you change any settings within DPP before the conversion, you thereby overwrite what the picturestyle told DPP.

So, DPP will apply the settings that the picture style consists of, but it leaves the choice of partitial or complete modification to you ... you can even select a totally different picture style.


Merc ....:thumbs:
 
That's how it works Mark. The settings you select in-camera are used when the RAW file is displayed by DPP. The data is still RAW format with all the options to make further adjustments but it is initially displayed as you would like it.

The trick is to take a few different shots and edit them to your liking and then save the recipe which can be loaded into the camera (via EOS Utility and the USB cable) and then used as the basis for any future shots.

can you not view the exif on some of your previously taken shots and note them down

Terryuk i have had a look back and DPP is giving me the information as you say in exif i just didn't see it at first until i correlated the fact that picture styles are kept with in the RAW image using DPP, that's how i noticed my pictures being soft,

Kind Regards Merc

set up camera with EOS, can shoot through the laptop now tethered, with live view (laptop screen) and have uploaded styles and loaded them into the 5D on user defined, great software. see what happens
