DSLR Picture Style Settings

[K-MILLAA]

What setting do you guys use most of the time in your edits?

If it's not one of the defaults (standard, portrait, etc.) what's your custom set up?

As far as:

Sharpness?

Contrast?

Saturation?

Color Tone?

everyone has his own taste i guess, but when i shoot skiing, i like Landscape, but with sharpness all the way down

some people like to shoot super flat so they can do a lot in post. super flat would go

Sharpness - (0) all the way to the left

Contrast - all the way to the left

Saturation - all the way to the left or one back

Color Tone - (0) In the middle

depends what im shooting. skiing ill shoot

sharpness all the way down

saturation up a few clicks

contrast up a few clicks

dont touch colour tone

that gives me the bright coloured look thats popular in ski edits so i dont need to do much colour correcting/grading

for short films/lifestyle stuff i tent to do

sharpness all the way down

saturation left 2 clicks

contrast left 1 click

dont touch colour tone

very helpful video that basically explains the advantages of using a super flat picture style when doing colour grading and post shit.

Some of the sample color grading is that video is horrible.
