Nik Launches Silver Efex Pro B&W Conversion Software
July 15, 2008 - Editor's Note: We recently saw a demo of the new Silver Efex Pro plug-in from Nik Software and left thinking -- why aren't there more professional B&W conversion plug-ins out there like this one? While there are some pretty decent B&W tools in Photoshop itself, we really liked what we saw from Silver Efex Pro, especially that it didn't sacrifice ease-of-use for control. Indeed, Nik's very helpful "U Point" technology is once again used in Silver Efex Pro, giving you many ways to selectively tweak tone and contrast in your images during B&W conversion. (Press release is below but look for our full review in an upcoming issue of PDN. )More
