Android Question How to Take Black & White Photos

[Spacewalker]

Hello,

is there a way to tell the camera to take pictures in black and white?

Alternativly I could maybe convert a picture that was taken into Black & white ?
Currently I have this code:

Sub Camera1_PictureTaken ( Data() as byte)

    CamEx.SavePictureToFile(Data, tempDir, tempFile)
   
    'convert to black & white somehow here..?
   
    ..
end sub

thank you

Hi Spacewalker,

had you a look at this thread? Get/SetColorEffects should cover your needs, although I never tried those so please verify it before you proceed.
