Canon EOS 10D & B&W pics


Here's a question for someone with a Canon EOS 10D. Is there some setting to allow you to take Black and White pics? I know that you could open them up in Photoshop later and convert from colour to b&w, but I am interested to know if you can do this on the camera itself.

Mr. C, No, there's no such setting. Converting to grayscale in Photoshop doesn't do such a terrific job either. Here's the answer - Go to www.theimagingfactory.com and buy their "Convert to B&W Pro". It does a terrific job of making B&W photos out of your 10D shots. Check out this example.

  Hello All,
The Fuji S1 and S2 pro have the setting in camera to take B&W photo's - I have never used those settings. I do not believe that the Canon 10D has this ability - if it does - it will be in the manual that came with the camera - the info should also be available from the canon website too.
Adobe Photoshop is quite good for creating B&W photos from colour - it is not a straight forward process - but it gives good and controlled results.
There are a variety of ways to do it - and here is a link to just one of many tutorials that can be found on the web:
