does the Nikon D90 have color accent?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D90 Wednesday Aug 13, 2008I need a new camera and I like the Nikon D90 just wanted to know if it had the color accent option built in.
About the color accent option: it seems to be a current fad that people are getting 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 don’t want to be included/excluded.
• What 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 or sepia – you’re better off NOT to.
If you don’t have your own image editor, you can go to www.picnik.com and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.
