Set Practical Default Styles
- Try Rose Gold as a default style for warm, flattering skin tones in everyday family shots.
- Switch to Bright for extra pop or Stark for dramatic black-and-white when you want moodier images.
Photographic Styles Replace ProRAW Often
- Austin now uses Photographic Styles more than ProRAW because they preserve editing latitude while saving storage and capture time.
- For over 90% of cases, styles plus smart semantic editing replace the need for ProRAW.
