Sepia
Hi,
Interesting recent discussion on Sepia tone pictures at Photoshop Usenet site. I've been using Sepia setting for some pictures with my Canon Digital Rebel. I know this is a no-no with many people but I wanted to see what the camera could do. However, if you set on Raw capture (creative mode) - Sepia setting yields color image. This makes sense, I guess, since Raw means no/little processing by camera software. I guess "color" is the default setting in the creative zone of this camera. Canon Digital rebel also allows dual settings and when Raw plus jpeg are selected - you get a color image and Sepia (when sepia is the selected capture version) with one shot. Isn't technology wonderful. Best, Conrad Camp Sherman, Oregon |

Conrad- Since you are experimenting a bit, download Lightroom (beta 4) and play with some of the settings there for both B+W and sepia, straight out of RAW..... lots of fun! -- John McWilliams |

Isn't technology wonderful. There's a good reason why Sepia is rendered in a "color" space. The brownish tint that characterizes Sepia is neither white or black. So for Sepia to be rendered it requires a color component to the data. You can get a pseudo-Sepia by capturing or changing a color image to grey tone and then changing back to color before applying a tan wash to the entire image. Some cameras do not change to grey tone before the wash and so you may get a color image with the sepia wash instead of a B&W image with the wash. Not very appropriate. Also the Sepia in camera tends to have only one value and so I tend to do all my Sepia conversion in post so I can have a little more control over the degree of coloration applied. And to make it even more effective I sometimes lighten or darken the Sepia tone in blotches. This makes the finished image look much more like the old images with the browning of the paper that has become known as Sepia. Randy ========== Randy Berbaum Champaign, IL |
