how to make pictures more vibrant and crisp

[it_tech]

Hi,

I have a 450D with kit lens (still saving for a telephoto lens).
i would like to know if how can i make my pictures strong in terms of colors and make them crisp and vibrant?
is there any settings i need to check in terms of saturation/ color tone?
whats the best setting to use if there are any street celebration?

hoping someone can help or tell me the settings.

Thanks again

If you're shooting JPEG, learn about the Picture Styles and the various controls in the picture styles. See pp. 67-68, and 82-86 of the XSi/450D manual. Also see Canon's Picture Style web site: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/picturestyle/index.html

If you're shooting Raw, the appearance of your images is controlled by the software that you're using for the Raw conversion. I can only refer you to the manual for that software, and to the "Post Processing and Printing" forum on this site: http://digital-photography-school.co...sing-printing/
