dennersten Posted March 31, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry if this is a FAQ. i Haven't been here in a while. My question is: What is the advantage of shooting b/w in camera versus doing it in postprocessing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted March 31, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2019 On the Q and Q2 and Q-P for that matter, the only monochrome OOC photos are jpg. RAW files are color and max resolution. RAW files are easily converted in LR and other programs in post. The monochrome jpg’s would be easier to share immediately and through the FOTOS app. The RAW files allow more post processing to adjust B&W tones for different colors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is: What is the advantage of shooting b/w in camera versus doing it in postprocessing? In my opinion, processing color to b/w is far, far more versatile since you can render individual colors (channels) as you please, including colors that cannot be modified with filters on monochrome sensors or b/w film.

HighlandK Posted March 31, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2019 I agree entirely with the above comments. The only justification for using a B+W setting in camera is to help evaluate the tones of any given subject when taking the photo. This can be helpful but always shoot in RAW to get the flexibility that post processing gives, whether LR, Nik Silver Efex or other software. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
