The Picture Style you choose will not become a permanent part of the rendering until you export the RAW file as a JPEG or TIFF. When applied during post-processing with the Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) raw developer you can apply any Picture Style you like, whenever you like.
(Monochrome JPEG or MOV images can not be reconverted back to color.)Īny Picture Styles applied to RAW files can later be changed or modified. For example, if you intend to convert RAW images to black and white, the Monochrome Picture Style will provide a preview of the image in black and white while retaining all original color information in the RAW file.
The closer the Picture Style is to your intended rendering, the more accurate your image preview will be. For RAW files the Picture Style affects only how images are rendered on the camera’s LED display. Picture Styles can also be applied to RAW files, either during or after exposure. They are permanent to the extent that the rendering is 'baked in' and cannot be completely undone. Picture Styles are applied to JPEG (still) and MOV (video) files during exposure. Canon Picture Styles are preset yet adjustable parameters that determine how your EOS DSLR will process and render its images.
