I know that in a sax forum this is totally off-topic but I don't know this many people in any other situation so perhaps I may ask just one question about photography.
I have been taking photographs seriously since I was eighteen and as I'm coming up to fifty six I consider myself to be pretty experienced in the ways of f-stops, exposure values, zone systems, DoF, almost everything in fact. I developed my own films in the past and have been using digital for several years now but one thing I don't know and browsing isn't helping...
...if I use my camera to take a [digital] photo in black and white, is it going to give exactly the same result as if I took the picture in colour then converted it to black and white using software? Does the camera just convert a colour image or does it use it's extra resources to create a better b&w photo?
A definitive answer by some knowledgeable digital buff would make my life complete (how melodramatic is that?).
Cheers
Martin
