[DONE] Swap U-V for stills

[thecheekyscamp]

Hi

Sorry if this has already been asked, I searched and couldn't find anything.
I have an IR modded 550D and the Swap U-V feature for movie recording is really handy for false colour video straight from camera.
Is it possible to add this function to still modes as well as  movie? ideally as a shooting option, or just in liveview preview.

i too would be interested in this feature

Remove the movie mode checks from source code and it will work.

It just doesn't make sense from a UI standpoint. If I put it in display menu (common to photo and movie), it will alter the recorded movies, but not the photos (so it makes sense to be there for photos, but not for movies).

IIRC there was a way to swap U-V on the display side (that means, colors in menus will be swapped too).

Hi

thanks for your reply, i'm not sure i understand what you mean though. Is it impossible for the stills mode to capture with the channels swapped? Would still be handy to be able to preview what the end result might look like

Was there any progress in this option? I'm using a 500D and would be very keen on it activated in still mode as I don't use the movie mode on this camera. Even a short now to uncheck in the source code or a link telling me how to do it would be great! Thanks guys

Look in the Display menu.

I couldn't find the option in display options.
I tried video mode where the channels are swapped it gives what I'm after just like swapping the channels in Photoshop the recorded video is saved with the swap but even if I take a photo mid way through the video it is saved without the channels swapped.
Is it possible to edit to sorce code to allow it in images also? This would be very useful if it can be as I don't always have the luxury of being able to adjust in Photoshop
