Digital BW, The Print

Thank you for your reply.  Your name was mentioned as an informed,
helpful person.  As for TriX, I confused that with D-76 - my mistake.
 Is it true that if I am producing a raw image, that the B&W film
setting is inoperative?  Leaving all the adjustments to Photoshop is
fine with me.
