I've lost some basic options in Render Settings

DDCreate

I have a scene I want to render in Black and White and I know that to do that, I dial tone mapping down from 1.0 to Zero but that option is no longer available in my render settings for some reason. Did I toggle something off? Or on? I re-started Daz and my computer itself but no joy. Does anyone have any tips?

Create>New Tonemapper Options Node..., or render, or use the Iray/Filament drawstyle.

If yiou regularly want to adjust the settings before performing the actions that would create them consider saving a scene with the options nodes already created, then in Preferences (Edit menu under Windows, Daz Studio menu under MacOS) set DS to load that on Start up or New scene.

I was able to pull up a different picture that I saved before when I had more options. I guess my question is if the attached options were available yesterday when I open the Render Settings tab, why aren't the today? The attached picture was sort of just my "factory settings" which have suddenly changed I guess.

If you had rendered or previewed you would have generated the nodes, which also enable the settings in the pane. If you had loaded a scene with non-default settings that would also have generated the nodes and enabled the properties in Render Settings.
