Is EOS R5 camera picture style metadata used when importing RAW images?

Jerry C

Some applications (LightRoom, DPP) use picture style, lens correction, etc,  metadata when importing RAW images, although the RAW image remains unchanged (unlike JPG images, which are altered by these settings). This gives you a head start on editing the RAW images. Will Capture One utilize this metadata or is it ignored?

    Hi Jerry,

    As far as I know, picture style is not taken into account by Capture One, contrary to DPP, of course. They are now for Nikon cameras however. Maybe in a near future, if Capture One contracts with Canon ? Nobody knows...

    DPP uses native metadata because it's designed to make use of Canon's in-camera settings. Lr uses Adobe-created analogues of the native Picture Style and lens correction settings, not the actual settings that the camera outputs to the metadata.

    To achieve what you ask for, Capture One would have to resource the in-house creation of Picture Style and lens correction equivalents. If I was a betting man, I wouldn't put any money on them doing so.

    Besides - especially in the case of Picture Styles - I know how I want an image to look better than a Canon engineer, so the value of a Picture Style analogue is lost on me. The whole point of using Capture One is that the end result doesn't look like it came out of DPP...

    When I looked at the early reviews of the latest 1DX (III?) before support for its CR3 files became widely available I was very impressed with what the Canon people had achieved with jpgs and what I could find by way of RAW editors seemed to struggle to match the jpgs/CR3 pairs I looked at.

    I re-checked a few weeks later when C1 offered RAW support for the camera and was still left impressed with how the jpg looked as processed in camera.

    If they have managed the same sort of results for the R5 AND if you like the Picture Style effects you can achieve I would think there is a strong case for simply using the in camera process for most of your needs and simply adding finishing touches using another editor if required.

    Keith, I just wanted to know if the metadata were used. Most of the features are useless for those of us using Capture One. Currently, Capture One has lens-specific correction, but Canon's lens correction specific for their lenses might be different and useful, especially if they reduced the distortion at the edge of images shot with wide angle lenses. Having wide people and overly wide windows and doors at the edge of an image using wide angle lenses begs for correction.
