1. OVERVIEW
The Picture Style Editor (hereinafter PSE), as the name suggests, is software that allows
users to create their own Picture Style files. To create his or her own Picture Style file, the
user selects and loads a sample RAW image and then adjusts the image characteristics based
on one of existing Picture Styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral or Faithful) except for
Monochrome.
The created Picture Style file can then be registered in the camera using EOS Utility
(hereinafter EU) or used in the Digital Photo Professional (hereinafter DPP) or RAW Image
Task (hereinafter RIT) applications.
●Settings that can be adjusted in PSE
①Existing Picture Style Detail settings
・Color Tone, Color saturation, Contrast and Sharpness adjustments
②Color specification and individual minute adjustments to specified colors
・ Selection of a specific color in the sample image and adjustment of the hue, saturation
and luminosity
・Minute adjustments to the gamma characteristics (tone curve)
The settings in ① were previously available either on the camera or in EU, so that the
results of any adjustments had to be checked later after the picture had actually been taken.
With PSE, the results of adjustment can be checked in real time. The adjustments in ② are
available for the first time (with realtime checking) with PSE.
And up to 100 color points can be selected in the color specifications provided in ②.
