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? -- =============== I just use Elements 5 B&W conversion. It's one of the menu choices (so 6 would have it too). It's pretty basic, but you can add/subtract red, green, blue during the conversion. Which I find very useful. Much as I've tried I've never really gotten into Photoshop. Lightroom does a nice B&W conversion as well. My new camera will shoot B&W, which I suppose is nice, but, actually I don't see the point, since I shoot RAW anyway.
