I think yes, but Photoshop allows you to create "action" so you can do it very fast for bunch of photos

Photoshop also allows us to blur the image but camera provides blurring effect so I think there will be a way for doing that

@MoeedFarooqui That's some nice reasoning there... according to that your camera should be able to do everything that Photoshop does.

<p>Hey, I have a <strong>canon DSLR 650D</strong>, and I want to know if there are any settings or features in the camera that will only catch/accept the predefined color. For example, I just want to capture red, and everything else should be in black and white.</p>

<p>Please don't suggest Adobe Photoshop.</p>
