HOW TO MAKE THESE SETTING ON THE SX10

1. turn dial to SCN.

2. turn wheel pad to "color accent" mode

3. press the disp button, tool bar shows up at bottom. with left arrow and color box and white box in center of screen

4. look for the color you want to grab "highlight" using the white box in the center of screen.

5. press left on the wheel pad when color is found.

6. color you select should show up in color box next to left arrow .

7. press disp button or picture button to set color. color will stay untill another color is selected.

8. Have fun. and let me know if this helps. if you need more help just let me know

OK, as soon as I figure it out! Beautiful shots! Great job! ;)

[jasonstiller]

I like the fat guy with the tube top in the last picture ha ha ha.

Great pictures!

[birdman59]

Very nice! Would you please share the info?

How did you do this??

[jsphotos]

birdman59 this is done with overlaying in Adobe Photoshop.

[jasonstiller]

Or with the color accent function on your camera. Switch the dial on top to SCN then turn the circluar dial thats next to the LCD till you see color accent.

[birdman59]

I just checked it out and will post some to this thread later.
Much easier than overlays and layers in Photoshop.


This would be where I apologize for not reading my owners manual.:o

[jasonstiller]

HA HA, i did the same thing too man, until I read the manual that is :O

single color shot

[Axendra]

Tell me which you like more, cropped or the original. I have mixed ideas about it. I like the 'S' in the sky and landscape.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f304/00alpine/SX10/347f1d0f.jpg

Or just the sky cropped a bit.

I vote for the full sky......it balances better. 2/3's sky, 1/3 countryside. Also it puts the s clouds into the middle section and that really brings them to the viewers attention better. JMO I love the photo BTW!

[Axendra]

Good :) I wasn't sure, I liked it that way to.

Exactly the way I liked to have too.

Perhaps a bit more contrast to bring out more blue of the sky ?

Great picture. Again, whats that description for this kind of painting.

[hawaiiboy]

I like it with the full sky as well

Snow in summer, where is this place. Can you beam me some snow to HK ? It is a killer 34deg C now. I am cooked alive.

This is on top of Whistler mountain in Whistler, BC
It was in the 30's C as well

[Axendra]

Thank you for the comments :)

I edited the image a little in cs4 it 's a subtle difference, it helped bring out the clouds beside a slightly deeper blue.

Before
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f304/00alpine/SX10/347f1d0f.jpg

After, now I see them like this is is very subtle! What do you think?

Please check your SX1 manual.

Please check your SX1 manual.

I don't have the camera jet and was only curious.

In a few weeks or one month I hope to have one and then I will give it a look.

For now thank you and good luck.

Yes, the SX1 supports Colour Accent and Colour Swap. They can be found as two of the SCN settings.

Lensmen, thank jou and no offence was taken.

From the moment I have my new camera I will post some pictures
here, but I'm not such a great photografer as you guys are.

But I like to learn from everybody.

Good luck to all and see you all soon ...

[lensmen]

as someone did say (my maths teacher I think) : Practice makes perfect (almost).

I can't say about the SX1, but my SX10 has been a very good buddy and there are still more to discover.

And I loved surprises that doesn't damage the wallet.

Have a great weekend and see you soon on the owners' list :-)

Ah, looks like you had found this forum afterall.

The "How to" is in the 1st post of this thread.

[Richard05]

Thanks Lensmen, I am very impressed with this forum. Can't wait to get the camera. Ordered it online on Thursday from Melbourne so should be here in Tassie in a day or two. I've only ever owned point and shoot but this will be great. I love taking photos of flowers, moss etc. so the macro and supermacro will get a work out. This colour accent I never really thought about but the shots are awesome.
I am keen to do some waterfalls in longer exposure. I'll check out the google image free download you suggest too.
Great site.
Thanks all for the photos and ideas.
Rick

[lensmen]

When you get the camera, the only 2 things I'd like you to do is to spend a bit of time looking thru the manual, to familarize yourself with the setting, and then get yourself a set of rechargable AA batteries (or make it 2 sets).

Then go out and shoot as much as your battery and memory card lasted you.

Practice makes perfect.

have fun


Thanks all for the photos and ideas.
