Tips And Tricks: Easy question about black and white photography with digital camera. Can you help me out?

Hi,I did the following:

Easy question about black and white photography with digital camera. Can you help me out?If I take a color photo, and remove the color later (in photoshop), will it effect the quality of the photo? Or, should I use the black and white feature that is built into the camera?

I have a digital camera and it's my first attempt at black and white photography.

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I like taking the photos in color and then switching them to black and white in Photoshop, as you get more control over the tones; it kind of reminds me of taking black and white film shots, as you see through the viewfinder in color, then develop and print, and you see it rendered in black and white.

Also, it's nice to have both color and black & white just in case you decide that you wish you had it in color, but used the black and white function on your camera.

If you want a specific look, you can use a colored filter shooting straight black and white, such as a yellow, red, green, etc. kind of filter. They bring out different elements in a b&w image

It's best to take it in colour then desaturate, then adjust the levels so you get the best mix of shadows and highlights.
