EOS 30D- Picture Setting: Monochrome

[TheLostNome]

Sharpness +1
Contrast +1
I really have no idea what i'm doing. Increasing the sharpness and contrast just sounded like it would look nice...
Can anyone refer me to some online sources that explain how to use those types of in-camera settings, what effects they have on pictures, ect.?

don't use the settings on camera. Shoot in RAW and do everything you need in lightroom/photoshop.

or use DPP that came with your camera. Go here and you can download additional picture styles which can make some interesting effects.

Yeah I would have to agree that RAW formatting is the way to go. Just use that and then either use or buy a great editing program like Adobe Photoshop. It will be worth it in the end, you'll have better pictures.

The ability of changes your camera can make are not enough compared to the changes you can do in a powerful studio program.

If I have time later this weekend I'll edit it a bit later and tell you what I did.
