Hello everyone, so I just realized about the picture style settings in the t3i for the first time today. I was reading this online article about how shooting a flat picture style in photos or videos can help with post processing by giving you more dynamic range. I also learned about technicolor cinestyle picture profile. Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Show off your favorite photos and videos to the world, securely and privately show content to your friends and family, or blog the photos and videos you take with a cameraphone. Canon Utilities PhotoStitch 3.1.23.47 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Compatibility with this software may vary, but will generally run fine under Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP on either a 32-bit.

VISION vs. CINE/What’s the difference?
The VISION Profiles (VisionColor and VisionTech) are color optimization profiles that were designed to get the highest quality color out of the camera for subsequent editing and color correction for video and JPEG capture. They are the next best thing when shooting RAW is not an option. The technical specifications below explain our approach in more detail.
The CINE Profiles (CineLook and CineTech) take this approach even further by offering a fully automatic, contemporary cinematic color grade right out of the box. Cinelook delivers images and videos unmatched even by advanced colorists and has been optimized to fully leverage Canon proprietary in-camera image processing.
VisionColor /VisionTech
The only difference is in the profiles’ gamma response curves. VisionTech has a slightly lifted black point for better low level color accuracy and a more gentle uper gamma rolloff into blow out. The minute color difference you may observe between the profiles is largely due to the default in-camera color tone setting as both profiles use the same custom color matrix.
- VisionColor: Standard Rec.709 video profile. Clips at 0% black and 100% white.
- VisionTech: Standard Rec.709 video profile. Clips at 4% black and 100% white.
CineLook /CineTech
When we made CineTech we wanted to create a profile that had the exact same color response as the CineLook profile while keeping the contrast as flat as possible. CineTech has contemporary color-offsets that make color correction incredibly simple while giving the user complete control over how much contrast should be applied to each shot.
Tip: A quick side-by-side comparison of both profiles will immediately give you an idea of the visual differences.
Tip: Experimentation is key in finding your prefered picture style! There are no rights and wrongs about using either as long as you have a basic understanding of how the profiles perform in different situations.

8-bit coding space limitations
The inherent problem with 8-bit encoded image data is its lack to store enough color values to accurately represent subtle tonal gradations. 8-bit means 255 distinct values for each of the R, G and B channels.
By transforming linear RAW sensor data to a logarithmic curve and thereby further compressing the range to even less values, all tonal gradation in the 8-bit coding space is sacrificed.
Chroma banding and severe image degradation are often the result when color grading logarithmically encoded 8-bit comressed footage back to a regular Rec709 or sRGB viewing gamma.

Comparison chart:14-bit linear RAW sensor data to
- 12-bit losslessly compressed ProRes (Arri LOG-C encoded) - 4096 values
- 8-bit h.264 compressed video (Cinestyle) - 150 values
- 8-bit h.264 compressed video (VisionColor) - 255 values
It is therefore recommended to shoot with camera profiles which utilize the entire 8-bit tonal range while preserving as much usable dynamic range and color information the image sensors have to offer. Subtle adjustments in post production are key to retaining image fidelity.
Luminance/data-compression correlation
While the VisionColor profile utilizes the entire tonal range available in the 8-bit coding space, clipping at 0 and 100% IRE (RGB 0-255) VisionTech performs a slight boost of the blackpoint to 3% IRE. (RGB 9-255).
This enables the camera to encode hue and saturation information where in other profiles no such data could be encoded due to a luminance value of 0. (Black can't hold color values)
This enables the camera to encode hue and saturation information where in other profiles no such data could be encoded due to a luminance value of 0. (Black can't hold color values)
In still image and video compression schemes, chrominance data is processed separately from luminance to exploit the limited resolution of color over relative brightness perception in the human visual system. However as our ability to accurately distinguish between subtle luma differences falls roughly into the range around 'middle grey' (18% reflectance) and gets worse as brightness drops, compression algorithms assign less data to the lower parts of the gamma range.
An estimated luminance/data-compression correlation of the internal compression codec has been taken into account for the lift adjustment of the VisionTech curve to prevent any negative side effects like chroma banding and other poterization artifacts that are commonly introduced in the midtones and highlights by profiles from other developers due to poor data distribution across the luminance range.

Dual Illuminant Profiling
All of our camera profiles are dual illuminant camera profiles. This means that your camera will automatically interpolate between two distinct transform tables, one for daylight temperature, one for fluorecent, based on your white balance setting. The method used by Canon internally is inverse correlated color temperature.

Installation
Follow these simple steps to successfully install your new picture styles on your Canon EOS camera:
- Extract the .pf2/.pf3 Picture Style files from your downloaded archive. If your operating system doesn’t extract .ZIP archives natively we suggest using WinRar (Windows) or UnArchiver (MAC).
- Make sure that you have Canon EOS Utility 2.6 or higher installed on your computer
- Switch your camera ON and turn the wheel to “M” for manual.
- Connect your DSLR using the USB cable that shipped with your camera.
- Start the EOS Utility Software and choose “Camera settings/remote shooting“.
- Click on “Register User defined style“
- Select one of the three slots, click the folder icon and navigate to your Picture Style .pf2 file and select it.
- Hit OK. Close the application, unplug your camera.
You can now select the installed picture style in your camera.
Installation for Video Mode (Optional)
In most cases the basic installation will automatically make the profiles available in your camera’s video mode but in case they’re not showing up follow the steps below:
- Do the basic installation as described above.
- Switch the camera to movie mode.
- Press the menu button and navigate to the picture style menu.
- Select the slot for the first/second or third custom picture style and press the DISP. button (or any other button that lets you adjust the settings).
- This takes you to a sub-menu where you can adjust the in-camera parameters for sharpness, contrast, saturation and color tone.
- At the very top of the page the base picture style can be selected from a dropdown list. In your case the first Custom Style should be set to the custom profile you wish to install.
There are times when you would like to take photos that look more attractive or dramatic but can't achieve the results you want. In that case, how about trying the Picture Style function? This article introduces the basics on how to use Picture Style. (Edited by: studio9)

Use Picture Style to change the look of your shots!
Once you become a little more accustomed to taking photos, you probably will be able to capture the subject, composition and brightness quite well. However, you will also probably hit another obstacle, where the ambience of the photo does not turn out as expected.
At such times, you can use Picture Style to change that ambience to suit your preferences. By simply adjusting this setting, you can obtain a completely different finish for your photos!

Picture Style is packed with various features, but in this article I will only focus on two modes and on the Contrast parameter to show how they can be used to edit photos.

Do you prefer a softer finish? Or would you rather prefer a more sombre finish ?
By changing the Contrast parameter in Picture Style, you can either create a soft and cute ambience, or a sombre and dramatic ambience.
Let's look at some specific examples.
Let's look at some specific examples.
The “soft” look
I wanted to express the slowness of time in this photo of a scene along a riverside, so I set Picture Style to 'Standard', resulting in a photo like this when using the default setting. (This example was simulated in Digital Photo Professional using the RAW file.)
Picture Style: Standard/ WB: Daylight
By simply tweaking the camera settings, I created the photo below with a soft ambience to it.
EOS 5D Mark II/ EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM/ FL: 24mm/ f/4/ 1/4000sec/ ISO 250
Picture Style: Standard (Contrast -4), WB: Daylight, Exposure Compensation: EV+1
Setting the contrast to its lowest value and using positive exposure compensation gives the photo a totally different look. The greens are paler and the clouds seemed to have a rather soft ambience, thus creating an ambience of slowness in the passing of time.

Setting the contrast to its lowest value and using positive exposure compensation gives the photo a totally different look. The greens are paler and the clouds seemed to have a rather soft ambience, thus creating an ambience of slowness in the passing of time.
A sombre atmosphere
For the photo below I wanted to express the strong light rays from the sun, so I selected 'Landscape ' in Picture Style, which provides vivid blues and greens. The photo looks like this when taken using the default settings.
Picture Style: Landscape/ WB: Daylight
I then changed the settings to give the photo a more sombre look.
EOS 5D Mark II/ FL: 33mm/ f/16/ 1/25sec/ ISO 800
Picture Style: Landscape (Contrast +4), WB: Auto, Exposure Compensation: EV -0.33(-1/3)
I changed the contrast and used negative exposure compensation to create well defined contrasts within a sombre atmosphere. By making the walls of the building and the wet ground darker, the contrast with the sun was effectively expressed.

Configuring the settings
In this section, I will describe the steps for deciding how to configure the settings. While there are a lot of detailed parameters that can be used, I will provide 3 steps that anyone can use with ease.
STEP 1: Decide on the Picture Style mode
First, decide on which Picture Style mode to use. It is best to refer your camera’s User's Guide to check what kind of Picture Style modes your camera includes. On most camera models, you can also check this from the shooting menu.
While the modes may differ according the camera models, there should be the following 7 modes available in the menu: Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome. It is impossible to be able to master all of the modes at once, so I will just focus on two modes for now.
I recommend 'Standard' and 'Landscape' modes to start with. Select “Standard” if you want a calm ambience, or “Landscape” if you want an energetic and lively ambience. Each mode has its own special features, so you should be able to select your preferred mode without trouble!
STEP 2: Adjust the contrast
This is the most important point! Although the impression of the photo can change considerably even by changing only the Picture Style, adjusting the contrast is the most effective manner to create a soft or sombre look.
Select the Picture Style and press 'INFO' to proceed to the Detail Setting screen.

The four parameters: Sharpness, Contrast, Colour Saturation, and Colour Tone, are displayed on the screen, however adjusting the contrast provides the greatest effect. Try adjusting the contrast to start with.
The contrast parameter adjusts the dynamism between dark and light. Using it to achieve either of the 2 effects shown above is easy. You can either just set it to the smallest value (-4) for the 'soft' look, or the largest value (+4)for the 'sombre' look.
Once you get used to setting the contrast, adjusting the colour saturation, or the strength of the colours in the photo, will allow you to create an even more impressive image.
This is all there is to it! Easy, isn’t it? Of course, it is also alright to play around with the other Contrast values to fine tune the effects to suit your needs.
STEP 3: Apply exposure compensation
![Terbaik Terbaik](/uploads/1/1/9/8/119876413/547614921.jpg)
Exposure compensation is a parameter for the brightness of photos, regardless of the Picture Style. This setting alone can create a completely different look for your photos, so feel free to try it.
Most camera models simply just require a turn of the dial to adjust exposure compensation.
The key point to remember is that if you want a soft ambience, apply positive compensation, and apply negative compensation for a more sombre atmosphere.
For the “soft” look in particular, setting a large positive compensation of EV+1 to 2 is more effective in bringing out the ambience. Try to apply positive compensation boldly without worrying about blowout.
For a more sombre atmosphere, slightly darkening the exposure would be more effective in bringing out the ambience, so I would recommend EV0 to -1 as a guide. As the brightness will differ depending on your subject, try taking some shots to find a brightness that suits your preference.
The trick is to start off by boldly applying compensation until you start to think that you have overcompensated, and then step back little by little. This enables you to obtain a good result more quickly than if you started off slowly.
