In Camera Sharpening

[Daniel Browning]

Is there a technical reason, something that gives latitude for improvement in post processing that would not be available otherwise? I appreciate the artistic perspective, but I know you well enough to know that there is an underlying technical basis for this decision.

[] It's really just artistic. If you're shooting JPEG (or video), then there is a good technical reason: you can always add contrast in post, but you can't take it away. But for raw there's really no technical reason, since it can all be changed later.

Also, the Picture Style editor is in DPP, correct?

Actually, it's a separate program that you can download for free from Canon. Once you create your style (or download one that someone else created) you can transfer it to the Camera with the flash card or USB cable.


Canon just came out with a new version two weeks ago. Here is one location where you can download it:

Thanks DB,


I shoot RAW or RAW+JPEG, so I should just ignore all this I guess! Oh well. []


I am going to check into the software. That sounds really neat, even if it is apparently for the in-camera JPEGs.
