MC Picture Control Filter Effects and
Toning
The Monochrome, or MC, Picture Control has some added
features that are enjoyable for those who love
black-and-white photography. As shown in Figure 3-22, there
are Filter effects that simulate the effect of Y-yellow,
O-orange, R-red, and G-green filters on a monochrome
image. Yellow, orange, and red (Y, O, R) change the contrast
of the sky in black-and-white images. Green (G) is often used
in black-and-white portrait work to change the appearance of
skin tones. You don't have to go buy filters for your lenses;
they're included free in your D300(S).
