Hey guys.
Is there a way to take pictures on a Nikon Coolpix S570 in black, white, and one other color? I have some premade options on the camera such as sepia and cyanotype. Im just wondering if i could download an option to take these type of pictures.
If not, what is the best free software to do this with?
Every single day on YA there are MANY questions about this feature - a quick search would have given you heaps of instant answers.
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.
