[QUOTE="nickt, post: 246717, member: 4923"] I don't know if this helps you any, but you can have both. If you set your camera picture control to monochrome, it only affects the jpg file. If you shoot only jpg, then you are of course stuck with it. But if you shoot raw+jpg, you get the b&w jpg and the raw will contain all the color info. This might be useful to see if you can do better than the camera. Another option to compare the camera b&w to your own work... if you set monochrome and shoot only raw, you will get a b&w preview on the camera as before, but the raw still contains everything. If you happen to use ViewNX, it will initially display that raw file as a b&w, but you can easily switch it back to color and do your own thing. Anyway, I hope I didn't confuse, just giving options to compare the camera b&w processing to your own. [/QUOTE]
