4. For a Black-and-white image, you cannot adjust the level
of lightness or darkness. For Sepia and Cyanotype, you
can use the Multi Selector to saturate or desaturate the
tone. Scroll up or down and watch the screen until the
tint is just where you want it to be. You can cancel with
the Playback button (Figure 6-6, image 4)
5. Press the OK button to save the new image under a new
file number.
My Recommendation: I normally use the Black-and-white
conversion when I need an immediate Monochrome image.
However, it’s a lot of fun to make the image look “old-timey”
with either Sepia or Cyanotype. New Sepia-toned images can
look very old if you dress people accordingly.
Filter Effects
(User’s Manual – D300S page 322; D300 page 338)
Many times when you shoot images outdoors under an
overcast sky or under certain types of artificial lighting, they
can have a bluish cast, or look “cool”. Filter effects can help
with that.
The Filter effects selection provides a simple way to apply
two specific warm filter effects to an existing image:
▪ Skylight – Provides an effect similar to a skylight filter,
which removes some of the blue in an image. This is not
a very strong effect and should only be used for very
mild warming (blue reduction).
