Is there a Lomography-style Picture Style available for the Canon 50D, or are there camera settings I can use to get a similar effect without relying entirely on editing afterward?

No built in picture style exists for lomo on the Canon 50D camera.

Basically you just need to add a vignette, and do a cross processing style that you can achieve in most photo editing software. You also may want to add fake light leaks to get the full effect.

A tutorial for the effect can be found at digital photography school here.

The Canon 50D does not have a built-in Lomography Picture Style. To get a similar look, you’ll generally need to create it in post-processing rather than entirely in-camera.

The typical “lomo” effect usually includes:

  • strong vignetting
  • cross-processed color shifts/contrast
  • sometimes added light leaks

Most photo-editing software can do this with a vignette plus color/contrast adjustments to mimic cross processing. If you want the full look, adding artificial light leaks is also common.

So the short answer is: no dedicated 50D Picture Style exists for this effect, and the most practical way to achieve it is with editing after capture.
