Picture Style. This is a crucial custom setting when

shooting video, as it allows you to reduce contrast in

the clips and to capture a wider range of highlight

and shadow detail. It’s not as important when

shooting Raw ﬁles, as Lightroom has calibration

settings you can dial while processing your images;

but nonetheless I suggest setting things properly

here.

My preferred setting is the Neutral picture style, and

then I further customize it as seen in the boxes below.

Remember that these are just my preferences, so

please experiment and ﬁnd your own if you think a

different setting will work better for your needs.

After selecting Neutral, I go into the detailed settings

and drag Contrast all the way down. I commonly

shoot straight into the sun in the snowy mountains

here in Colorado, so I prefer a very low-contrast

setting to capture the full range of light and shadow --

remember you can always boost contrast later, but it’s

nearly impossible to recover clipped highlights or

shadows if you don’t get them in the original ﬁle.

The reduced contrast make the image look relatively

ﬂat and dull at ﬁrst, so I add a touch of extra

saturation, and this seems to help the overall look of

the image.

**See the last page of this PDF to see how to enable

the Neutral Picture Style when developing a Raw

image in Lightroom.
