My Canon 450D comes with 6 preset Picture Styles which are Standard, Landscape, Faithful, Portrait, Neutral and Monochrome. I later went to Canon’s website to download some Extended Function (Picture Style)
I downloaded 3 Extended Picture Styles there which are the Snapshot Portrait, Twilight and Clear. For a few days I have tried out these new styles but I don’t really like any of them. They can enhance the colours but they are also enhancing the noise. I cannot “undo” the details. Better not use them.
This is a 100% cropped picture taken with ISO 1600 and Twilight Picture Style.
This picture is taken with ISO 1600 without Twilight Picture Style.I know taking RAW photos and editing them later is the best method but my colour blindness prevents me from playing with colours. So now I just stick to the standard picture style and do minor editing with photoshop.
