If you need to edit it, why not just download it onto your PC and use a photo editor like Adobe Photoshop Elements (about $90) or even Picasa 2 by Google (it's free!).

If I have the function on the camera I would like to use it. It would be nice to see a photo just taken in black and white or serpia before I got home to download it onto my computer. Thanks anyway.
