Does anyone know the name of this digital camera feature?

Posted on Oct 28, 2008 under Digital news and reports |

It allows a person to take black and white pictures with a little color.

Thanks!

    Selective Coloring
    Color Accent

    Those are the two most common names for it. They are on almost every up to date Canon Point and shoot digital camera.

  2. selective colour? colour isolation?

  3. as well as saturation

  4. 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 http://www.picnik.com and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.

    I think it depends on the camera
    I have a canon powershot and the feature is called color accent

  6. I knew you were going to ask that before I even opened up the question… it’s called “color accent” and all the Canon Powershots have this feature.

  7. yay! it’s color accent. my canon s5 has it.
