If you shoot RAW and use DPP for conversion the camera's picture style will be applied. Or you can select from the same set of styles from DPP's menu. -js Ah... I use ACR.

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | May 29, 2008 21:05 | #17 In Ye Olden Dayes we would smear a thin film of Vaseline on the lens to get soft portraits. Better to do this to a UV filter, though. Easier to clean off. Vaseline is tough to get off. K-Y jelly is water soluble. Best though, it to use the oil from the side of your nose. Use the depth of field preview to see where your finger is putting it. Get a pair of sheer black pantyhose. Shred 'em up and put a piece over the lens. Voila, instant "beauty glow." That works, too. Try putting a hole in the center if it's too diffused. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

Try putting a hole in the center if it's too diffused. Or, take a piece of cheap plastic from a display pack. Put a small hole in that. Larger holes = less diffusion. Yeah, I've got a ton of these!
