If you are going to use the image directly on a website, social media site
or for regular sized photographic (or home photo printer) prints then it
makes sense to have the camera do all the processing for you so that
you end up with a file which will require no further work, or post-
processing as it is normally known.
If this is the case then, using the photo styles can help you achieve this
step very easily.
If however you want to post process your images and be able to see the
effect of increasing contrast or saturation for example, then there is also
a case of using the photo styles setup specifically to give you images
which will post process more easily.
If however you want the highest quality image possible from this camera
then you need to consider switching to a workflow which uses the
camera RAW file, and then do all the post processing yourself.
Unless you do need this it is extremely time consuming to process each
individual file unless the images are of a similar nature in which case
thay can be “batch” processed using a common setting.
For the majority of users, setting up the Standard photo style with some
slight customisation will provide JPEG images which are almost identical
to the same RAW image processed.
