respect to chrismagicc for figuring out how to apply them in camera to video mode *** this is the important bit you need to know ***

ahhhh I found out how to do it!

ok, so:
If in still mode you upload it into user define 1 then back in video mode go to
menu/ picture style/enter(set)/user def. 1/display/enter(set)/and arrow up or down to find the marvel preset/menu.
BTW I've done it and it works!

*** this is another important bit you need to know in order to add picture styles to the t2i stills mode, make sure t2i is on stills mode M when adding ***

instructional video on using EOS utility to add picture styles to 7d /550d/ t2i
if u wanna go straight to the part you need, it starts around 2:30 but the whole thing is pretty good and funny :2vrolijk_08:, thanks Luka!

Awesome, thanks! I was really worried that somehow this wasn't possible with the T2i due to some minor oversight at Canon.
 
Picture styles in the zip attached to post 1 are

Genesis_Panalog4_WIP.pf2
Marvels_Cine_V1.2_rel.pf2
superflat01.pf2
Velvia.pf2

cam only holds three pictures styles so I got lazy (my bad) and I didn't test Velvia
 
Can you run this test again during the day with "difficult" lighting? Bright skies and deep shadows in the same shot.

I definitely will if I have the opportunity (or anyone else please post tests as I would love 2 see).

The shot above was chosen to see red/yellow/ detail in the blacks and to some extent we can see roll off on highlights in a high contrast situation - flames, glass reflections.

superflat seems so much softer than i expected, i like marvelcine, neutral -4, -4, -1 doesn't do too badly
best detail in the blacks IMO is in superflat

@CiPO you're welcome


@everyone - check out marvelcine tiffs and look at the small yellow letters in the red part of the Cafe Bustelo coffee tin (tiffs are available for download in post 1)
the line is VACUUM PACKED-100% PURE COFFEE, I can just read it with marvelcine not with superflat

edit: i'm having super fun with these tiffs in photoshop

GREAT job :)
It would be interesting to make the same test but having that line of text written in other colors (e.g. blue, red) and see the results :) DO think it would be exactly the same ? Or maybe "marvelcine" is affecting only some color tones ?
You can do that changing it with a pic editor program :D
 
Throw those tiffs into Adobe Lightroom, you'll have a blast. Lightroom 3 beta is free right now too.

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_lightroom3

You'll need to create an account to download the beta but I swear its worth it. Rumor is, Adobe is adding video support in the final release. I've found that primary and secondary grading in Lightroom is super fun. I've actually graded some footage with it by exporting as tiff sequence. A pain but manageable for short clips.

Actually I moved here from London (via 1yr in Tokyo) back in the mid 90's, but I feel like I've
been here long enough to say I'm a New Yorker now. Well maybe an honorary one. :)

Cafe Bustelo, Mario Wii, a Nikkor AIS 35/1.4, Radio Paradise Klean Kanteen, wacom tablet ....

I figger I'd give y'all something to look at.

thanks for the props J Davis! good test!
I think one of us should do a test with skin tones, i heard superflat creates some odd looking skin...
