Digital Camera - Q & A

Before you worry too much more about this, please consider this about the color accent option: it seems to be a current fad (terribly overused) that teenagers are all excited about. The camera keeps one color and turns everything else black and white.

I would never use such a feature for the following reasons:

. You are very limited in what you can do.
. The function isn't always reliable or accurate. The camera's idea of "red" might be different to yours. It will often include/exclude areas that you don't want to have included/excluded.
. Imagine if you just happened to take your best photo ever, but instead of having a real color photo, you only have some partial b&w thing that might look totally awful. You'd kick yourself.
. If you do the "Selective or Partial Desaturation" (as it is called correctly) in post processing, you have much more control over it, and will get a way better result. Plus you can keep your original color version, too.

This also applies to any color effects done in camera like b&w, sepia or color swap - you're better off NOT to. Doing such things on the computer gives you MUCH better control and a much better result.

If you don't have your own image editor, you can go to [URL Truncated] and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.
