When I first started shooting RAW, I took a suggestion that you should shoot in the camera's picture style = Neutral. I've lost the source of that idea and haven't seen it repeated anytime recently. As I remember it, you could better judge the exposure and vibrancy of the colors from the camera display from the Neutral setting. If it "looks good there", it will be great after processing.

The logic is seductive. But, when you realize just how impractical it is to judge anything worthwhile from the small LCD on the back of the camera, you realize the idea doesn't hold up in the field. Half the time, I can't even see the details of the image in the LCD in bright light situations. The only thing I can see clearly is the left-right aspect of the histogram and the position of the blinking highlight alerts. It's been years since discarding that idea. Instead, I judge images only after offloading and viewing at 100% zoom on a high definition monitor.

I use only the Standard picture style on my Canon and Sony bodies. When importing the RAW files into LR, the first step is to update the default "Adobe Standard" to "Camera Standard" for all the images. Then begins the editing.

Lightroom records edits in the catalog, and does not change the original photo in any way. This is true whether the original is a JPG, a TIF, or a RAW file. If you look at the original photo with another editor, you will not see the changes you have made. In order to get a "permanent" copy of the edits, you have to export the photo to a JPG, TIF, etc. If you edit a photo in Photoshop from LR, LR exports a file (you can specify the format - JPG, TIF) to Photoshop. When you are finished editing in PS and return to LR, LR addsI the edited photo to your catalog.

I figured it was a 5D Mark IV but it's always best to be concise when asking for help. I have that camera and I have a 7D Mark II and both of the custom settings work the same way. On the 5D 4 you can use the touch screen to change custom settings. Did you know that you can set 2 bbf buttons? I have one set for whatever current focus points I choose to use and I can change them any time I like, (usually a single focus point) and the other I have set up for AI Servo focus, and 9 focus points and Case 2 focus settings. This way I can switch to that button any time I want to get BIF (Birds In Flight).....
