Digital B&W is a rendering process.

Meter as normal. Capture in RAW. Process using one of a dozen or three different methodologies to render B&W from your captures.

Currently I use Lightroom 2 and its HSV control panels in the Develop module to do 99% of my B&W rendering work, but PSE and ACR will do very well also.

The list has done it. I have been looking at all the fantastic Black & white photos and have had trouble with drool. (Anybody want to purchase a slightly damp keyboard?)I would like to try some B&W.

Do I whip out my Gossen and open up 3 stops from white? Is this something I can do in Raw Processing? (Or should do?) For the moment, I am sticking with PSE 3 but have kept Raw as up-to-date as I can. Are these workable for processing.

Or do I buy a roll of Tri-X and a new bottle of Rodinol?
