What are Camera Matching profiles?

Photographers who want CM profiles for other cameras are encouraged to use the DNG Profile Editor. In general, there are 5 CM profiles per Canon DSLR, one for each of the default Canon Picture Styles. These five Picture Styles are called Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutra
