Better to set Monochrome from my 40D Profiles, or to simply convert using PShop?...
No clue what conversion process goes in-camera, so I am not sure which achieves most accurate results.
What's your experience on this?
Thx and cheers,

tonylong ...winded  More info | Oct 23, 2010 18:02 | #3 I myself would not do it in-camera because once you do you have discarded all unused data. You might want to do some tests -- you could shoot Raw+jpeg and experiment with different camera settings and see what you can do in a Raw converter and Photoshop to match and exceed what you can do with an out-of-camera jpeg. There are a lot of photogs here who do their B&W conversions on Raw files in the Raw processor with very good results. You do start out with a full-colored image, of course, but a Raw processor can make quick work of a basic conversion and has good tools to tweak things as well. Alternatively you can use the Canon software, Digital Photo Professional (DPP) to work with your Raw files and apply its Monochrome Picture Style (or it will use the camera one if you set it) and then in DPP you have tools you can play with.

If you choose picture style "monochrome", the sliders "Color Tone" and "Color Saturation" are changed to "Filter effect" and "Toning effect". Different settings give different results (gif is somewhat crappy, but get's the idea across)  "Filter effect" simulates the effect a color filter would have had if you were shooting B&W film: http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/tipps/sw_fotografie_e.htm  If you go crazy watching the gif, or want to compare some versions in a bit more detail, open these in a new tab: Color version No filter Yellow Orange Red Green You can also affect the result a bit by adjusting the whitebalance. Toning effects gives these:  "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams
