I've shot with my trusty Mamia Pro S and Hassie for years and could always get fantastic color saturation. Before I delve too deep into my new digital tool, how do you saturate bits?

| I'm not sure about the 300D, but most digital cameras have a Saturation setting that you can adjust. Also, you can us PhotoShop or your favorite editing software to adjust the saturation of all or individual colors. |

I guess I was just wondering, without setting the saturation, if exposier could do the same as it does on film. The 300d can add to the saturation so I guess that I have to force it using external tools.

are you not getting good colors with the new camera?
when i first started using it - i kept setting the white balance by accident -
affecting the colors of the photos.
that what you mean?

| soup, I'm getting great colors, just wonder how much saturation control, without adjusting the settings, I have. I'm used to using light and apature for saturation but now the world has changed. hahaha |

you could maybe check out the custom white balance options
available on that camera...
i actually havent yet - but that will alter what the camera sees as white i think - affecting the other colors as well.
still not sure i know what you mean though...

well, the film you were using would have determined saturation...i suggest shooting in RAW and processing afterwards. play with the saturation levels then and see if it helps.

"well, the film you were using would have determined saturation"
Yes, this is true, but I could control it as I shot the picture. I have all the post tools to enhance the photo to the correct levels. I was just hoping for a natural shoot way I guess. |

| how could you control it in a way that you can't with your 300D? aperture and shutter speed are really the only two controls. underexpose perhaps? |

| emlusion baby!! hahahaha Perhaps the 300D will prove to be a viable camera. I have only done a few test shots so far. Maybe I'll enter into the Still Life challenge. That should get me off my butt and make the camera work for me. |

The emulsion is just the light sensitive coating on the film, you control that by switching films. You can control it with digital from shot to shot without having to switch backs to a back with another type of film in it. It's also variable and controllable to a much greater degree than is possible with film.

there is a way.
it's exactly like film in the sense that if you ride the underexposure side of things, your colors will be richer purer.
increased contrast also enhances the perception of color saturation.
