One can save all the adjustments one has made with the tool palette as an original
Picture Style file (with the .PF2 extension). (Because adjustments made in Picture Style
Editor are saved in Picture Style files, they are not saved in the sample image used for
the adjustment process.) Adjustments are saved in the save window, which appears
when you click the save window display button in the tool palette. When one saves the
file, there is a [Disable subsequent editing] checkbox that prevents disclosure of the
adjustments made in Picture Style Editor as well as any captions or copyright informa-
tion. Picture Style files that have been saved with the [Disable subsequent editing]
checkbox ticked can be used in cameras and in DPP in the same way as ordinary Picture
Style files. However, because they can no longer be opened in Picture Style Editor, one
cannot check the adjustments. (We recommend also saving a separate copy of the
Picture Style file without the [Disable subsequent editing] checkbox ticked.)
Like purpose-made Picture Style files downloaded from the Canon website, saved
Picture Style files can be registered and used in cameras and used in the DPP and RAW
Image Task applications.
(1) Using Picture Style files in cameras: One can use EOS Utility to register a Picture
Style file in a camera equipped with the Picture Style function and then apply the file
to photographed images.
(2) Using Picture Style files with DPP: One can use DPP to apply Picture Style files to any
compatible RAW image.
(3) Using Picture Style files with RAW Image Task: One can use RAW Image Task to apply
Picture Style files to RAW images shot on cameras equipped with the Picture Style
function.
Picture Style Editor will be included on EOS Digital Solution Disk ver.15. Later this year,
Picture Style Editor will be available as a download for all EOS users from the Canon
website.
