Chapter 8 ■Setup: Playback and Shooting Menus 255
Figure 8.23 No filter (upper left); Yellow filter (upper right);
Green filter (lower left); and Red filter (lower right).
Figure 8.24 Toning effects: Sepia (upper
left); Purple Blue (upper right); Red Purple
(lower left); and Green (lower right).
The Red filter produces the darkest sky of all and darkens green objects, such as leaves.
Human skin may appear lighter than normal. The Green filter has the opposite effect on
leaves, making them appear lighter in tone. Figure 8.23 shows a landscape scene shot
with no filter, then Yellow, Green, and Red filters.
The Sepia, Blue, Green, and other toning effects, on the other hand, all add a color cast
to your monochrome image. Use these when you want an old-time look or a special
effect, without bothering to recolor your shots in an image editor. Several toning effects
are shown in Figure 8.24.
