Digital BW, The Print

>>> I am about to set up my old ETRSi for shooting B & W white film for scanning
in a Sprintscan 120, then editing in Picture window Pro.

Is it preferable to use lens filters at the time of shooting(yellow, orange,
red)or can the effect be duplicated during editing.

There is nothing you can do post-capture to B&W film that will mimic the
effect of colored filters put in front of the lens.
The same is not true if you are using color film, but then you have the
problem that color negative film tends to have noise problems that have to
be dealt with post-scan and color transparency film has a dynamic range that
is often shorter than you might like.

Go to my web site below, then click on the History button and find the two
part article on filters for B&W. There you will find the sum total of all
the knowledge in the universe (sometimes I exaggerate a tiny bit) on using
filters with B&W film.
