Introduction
Picture Style Editor (hereinafter, “PSE”) is software that allows you to edit
Picture Style to your unique image characteristics and save the edited
results as original Picture Style files.
What is a Picture Style file?
A Picture Style file (extension “.PF2” or “.PF3”) is an extended
function of a Picture Style. It differs from the eight preset Picture
Styles (Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Fine Detail, Neutral,
Faithful and Monochrome) and provides image characteristics that
are effective in a very limited number of scenes.
You can further expand your photographic expression by using a
Picture Style file effective for a specific scene.
Main Features of PSE
With PSE, you can use the functions below to edit Picture Style to
your unique image characteristics and save the edited results as
original Picture Style files (extension “.PF2” or “.PF3”).
Select a Picture Style to be used as a basis for your images
Set the [Sharpness], [Contrast], [Color saturation] and [Color tone]
Make adjustments to a specific color
Adjust the brightness and contrast (gamma characteristic)
In addition, you can register your saved original Picture Style files on
a camera with the Picture Style function and then apply those styles
to shot images. You can also use Digital Photo Professional
(hereinafter, “DPP”) to apply the styles to RAW images.
Color Management
Use PSE in a computer environment with color management.
Also, set the profile of the monitor you are using and the color space
of the sample image to be used to perform the adjustments, etc. in
the preferences window (p.20).
System Requirements
*1Compatible with 32-bit/64-bit systems for all versions except Starter
Edition
*2.NET Framework is Microsoft software. It is installed together with
PSE.
*3Core 2 Duo or higher is recommended
*4For Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7 64-bit systems,
minimum 2GB
Check the Canon website for the latest system requirements, including
supported OS versions.
Sample Images for Adjustment
PSE enables you to use RAW images shot with EOS cameras*
(excluding the EOS DCS1 and EOS DCS3), PowerShot G7 X Mark II,
PowerShot G9 X Mark II, and PowerShot G1 X Mark III as sample
images for adjustment. You can then save the completed adjustments
as original Picture Style files.
*Compatible with RAW images shot with EOS D6000 or EOS D2000
that have been converted to RAW images using the CR2 Converter
and have the “.CR2” extension.
For information on CR2 Converter, refer to Canon website.

Preparing Sample Images
PSE uses a sample image to perform the various adjustments and save
the adjusted results as an original Picture Style file. For this reason, a
sample image (p.2) to be used for this purpose needs to be prepared in
advance and saved on your computer.
The settings performed in PSE are saved as a Picture Style file (p.18)
which is separate from the sample image, and the sample image used
to perform the adjustments is not affected at all.
Starting up PSE
Double-click the [Picture Style Editor] icon on the
desktop.
The main window (Description on the right) appears when PSE
starts up.
Opening a Sample Image
Open a sample image and perform various adjustments with that image
as a basis.
Noise reduction to the sample images may be applied by PSE included
in EOS Solution Disk Ver.26 or later.
Drag and drop a sample image to the main window.
The sample image is displayed in the main window with the
camera settings at the time of shooting.
The [Tool palette] appears.
Drag and drop
If you open an image as a sample image with PSE, the shot
settings on the camera will appear in the image. However, the
Auto Lighting Optimizer settings will not appear.
If you adjust a RAW image in DPP and then open it as a sample
image with PSE, the adjustments made in DPP will not appear in
the image.

Pre-adjusting the Images
Sample images used in the adjustment process (p.2) which do not have
proper exposure or white balance can be adjusted using the
[Preliminary adjustment] window to correct their brightness and white
balance.
However, please remember that adjustments made with the [Preliminary
adjustment] window are merely pre-adjustments for performing
adjustments with the [Tool palette] (p.8). For this reason, adjustments
made with the [Preliminary adjustment] window are not saved in the
Picture Style file which you create.
If the sample image used for adjustments has proper exposure and
