Yes, Jan. Shoot in color then transform to B&W in Photoshop.
BTW I like Photoshop. It gives one a lot more control than the darkroom.
What I find lacking is the glow that silver embedded in paper gives.
Ink on paper is a poster-making process.
A master photoshop printer, however, can make prints look pretty darn
good.
And what we want are pretty darn good prints, regardless whether they
come from the darkroom or an inkjet printer.
Beyond Photoshop, it's good to have Imageprint. It has profiles for all
the different papers and allows you to get better results.
The bad thing is that both PS and IP are expensive. but not as
expensive as maintaining a Porsche or a horse.
Top of the day to you, Jan--Doug

Doug,
I suppose you meant "Shoot in color" then transform to B&W. I don't
have Photoshop (try to avoid the beast) only Photoshop Elements.
Looking at Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture right now as a tool for
moderate photo editing.
From the discussion I gather that only a UV or Polarizer makes sense
on a digitial camera so I can part with my Contax 72mm yellow and
orange filters...
Cheers,
Jan
