Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / March 2007B&W Photos w/Rebel Xti
May be a dumb question.....but.....I have a Canon Rebel XTi dSLR, and am wondering how do you take black and white pictures with it? I have not seen a setting on the camera for this, so is it simply a matter of the processing in my imaging software? B-Worthey The most flexible way to use a dSLR for black and white is to make the conversion in processing software afterward. There are many ways to process the images to enhance particular color tones, depending on your software. Shooting raw will preserve all the data off the sensor and greatly enhance your ability to achieve what you are after. However jpegs can also be converted to black and white. > May be a dumb question.....but.....I have a Canon Rebel XTi dSLR, and am > wondering how do you take black and white pictures with it?

How good your B&W may turn to may depend on your skill. About the camera, you may look at the setting or DPF manual so you can use FIND option to locate the option. > since I moved to color What is this? Television? You "upgraded" did you? ;-) > > since I moved to color > > What is this? Television? > > You "upgraded" did you? ;-) Lot of upgrading and switching <bg>. I started with B&W in early 60's, switched to color in mid 70's, no photography for some good years, then started digital sometime in early 90's ... and I am not so sure if I can live long for the next technology. > May be a dumb question.....but.....I have a Canon Rebel XTi dSLR, and am > wondering how do you take black and white pictures with it?

Look for Monochrome in the index of your manual...  SignatureSue Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

Also, simply desaturating the image to give gray isn't the best either. Depending on your software, you may find plug-ins that do a much better job. Colin D.
