Abstract said:How did you get the "orange/gold" colour behind the chair to show up without the chair in front appearing in colour as well?
And how did the camera do that without you PS'ing it?
That's the color the camera picked up. The chair didn't match that color, so it was B&W'ed. The background was of the right color and so chosen to be like that.
The Camera has a "My Colors" mode which lets me choose a color and then ONLY capture that color (you can adjust +/- a certain amount... I think I chose the oranges and then told it to +2 which let me get the background stuff). It doesn't let me chose more 'manual' settings but it takes great pictures in that automatic setting anyway.
