| I just purchased a Nikon D100 and was wondering if it has a Black & White mode? I couldn't find it in the manual. Thanks. |

I don't think so. Ah well, I'll trade ya with my G2 ... it has black and white mode. I'll pay the shipping, since I feel bad for you. ;)
Congratulations on the purchase of a great camera. I've had my eye oit for a few months. If the itch is still there by my summer vacation, Daddy's getting a new toy.
I much rather shoot in colour then convert to B&W. You can go from colour to B&W but not the other way around.

| Thanks alot guys, I was hoping there was a way around coverting it in a paint program. cause of the contrast issues. |

What contrast issues do you mean? I've not experienced any when converting to B&W.

I think the conversion of the D100 photo's look great in PS. Here is a photo of some gears that I took with the D100. It looks awesome printed.
oops I forgot the link- :) "The Link"

| That looks great! Jubei. How did you convert it? Just by changing it to greyscale no other manipulations? |

Great shot, Jubei!
I think if there is a light enough background, and if you boost the contrast a bit.. either in camera or in post processing...you get some nice b&w's when you either desaturate or convert to grayscale.

I don't know the fine details, but the contrast issue is why a lot of B&W shooters use yellow filters on their camera's (yellow glasses can help you see the wet patches better on a road as well for example). That can be troublesome when you shoot in color and convert later.
One way to overcome this is perhaps to slightly underexpose your picture, up the yellow in the color balance and adjust the underexposure with monochrome Channel Mixing. That's what I did with my perspective shot, but the underexposure was too much and accidental. :(

I converted it to greyscale and then upped the contrast about +10, not to much editing other than that. One thing I learned today though, CONVERT it back to RGB if you are going to take it to Walmart and use their Frontier machine. I didn't do this and for some reason the print came out horrid. Everything converted back to RGB printed just fine. |
