another thread about jpegs and picture styles sorry

I shoot RAW 100% of the time but as an experiment I chose to shoot jpeg today with landscape on in picture styles, sharpness up a notch and the same with contrast and colour saturation. I was amazed at the photos that were produced from this and I doubt I could get better out of RAW anyway. What I want to know is why is it that the in camera landscape style seems to produce much richer nicer colours than when I do the same in DPP on a RAW image. I’m temped to do a lot of my work in jpeg when I d be using the landscape mode from now on.

Post a raw converted to landscape picture style, and a jpeg shot in LPS of the same scene, and let us compare.

No need to. I just made a discovery. If you set your picture styles in the 30D then shoot in RAW, then open them in the canon software DPP programme, the RAW files will open up with the picture style settings you had set in the camera. This way you get the best of both worlds, you can shoot RAW and have the picture style set already to what you like, no adjustment to be made in RAW except converting to tiff. You can do the same thing with any picture style. Pretty cool. This is something I did not know and the good thing is that unlike a jpeg, you can reset the whole thing.

I think the reason that the jpeg originally looked better was the in camera sharpness and contrast settings I had it set at and I had not applied this equally in DPP

Well there ya go!

Anyone sorted out how to get lightroom emulate the picture styles yet?
