This is my formal self-welcome to the digital age and a new way of thinking about photography, which of course might not be new to you but it is still a fairly new concept to me in the way I practice the art of photography. This ol' dog is learning a few new techniques and I owe all the thanks to our oldest son for the introduction to the program RawTherapee. You might think that I should not tag myself as “ol’ dog” but you should know that I am the daughter of photographers and have been developing my own film and printing my own photographs since I was 10 years old. I will always be able to taste the fix in the air at just the thought of the word darkroom.
So as I baby step into my new darkroom and learn to operate the digital enlarger along with mixing the digital chemicals to obtain the perfect exposure, contrast and saturation, I am delighted to know that I just might be able to accomplish a respectable piece of work.
Here are two of my first raw post-processing photographs using RawTherapee.

Nicely done! I'm looking to find program options other than Photoshop right now after the changeover to expensive annual subscription vs. ownership. I might have to check this out...
Best regards,
