Would anyone mind to explain picture styles to me? Along with what your favorite style or settings is. Thanks!
I haven’t used a Canon DSLR in many months, so I’m not an authority. 🙂 I rarely used presets anyway, because I mostly shoot RAW. (The presets are only useful for
.jpgfiles, they don’t make any difference if you’re shooting RAW)Actually, to be very technical, I think that a Picture Style Preset does make a difference in the embedded
.jpgpreview of a RAW file, but if you’re editing with LR or RT, you won’t see the preview anyway. (When you view a RAW file in FastStone Image Viewer you are seeing the embedded `.jpg’ file, not the actual RAW file.)Here’s an article that will hopefully give you a pretty good idea of what they’re for:

The Canon official documentation seems to have very little “easy-reading” info on the subject, and plus their example photos are not at all appropriate for decent people, so I’m not linking to Canon. 🙁
Here’s another link with more info:
