Hi Dale, Welcome to the PDML. I’m a 70-year-old codger who worked with filters and a darkroom for more than 30 years. They’d have to hog tie me and beat me to go back to that now. Rendering BW during RAW conversion allows control of every color. Lot’s of fun too. Speaking of fun, we have a heck of a good time here. Once in a while we even talk about photography! Paul
