Hi Rico. Tnx for your great tut! (not just this one, but all of them) You are a great teacher. Recently I switched from PS CC to DT, which is great software. So I'm a newbie in DT. I hope I'm not asking stupid questions. I've watched a few of your black and white tutorials, but as far as I can tell they don't fully cover my need for control like I had in PS. I definitely want dark skies and great contrasts etc. Yes, I'm an Ansel fan :) In PS RAW I had great control with the 8 individual grayscale sliders. Is there an equivalent in DT or does it remain an approximation? Thanks in advance!

I'm going to look into this and get back to you!

How do people find DT compared to RT for Black and White?

[@RicoResolves]

Good question! Would love to hear Raw Therapee users!

[@fintonmainz7845]

@@RicoResolves I don't really "know" DT so I can't compare but use RT for black and white conversation.
Technically RT's BW conversation is very sophisticated but clumsy to use.
Normally I use a BW film simulation and then rather than using all the tools available, adjust the colour temperature.
