In B&W we can affect contrast and gray-level representation of color with the use of filters. Some on the camera, some on the enlarger.
What I'm thinking of is really a question about the "raw" format. Is it truely "raw", the simple captured sensor data. If it is, are there techniques in place to allow later treatment of the data as though it were the original light, making it monochrome, filtering the colors, and anything else that I'd like to do on the front end. After it's converted it's not as difficult. Is this even on the right track? What I'm looking for is the ability to treat digital like film. At least in terms of the sequence in handling the data. And promise to never pour fixer onto a lens. Sincerely, C. Brendemuehl ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.safe-t.net
