Great Value!

This product does an amazing job of making drab photos jump off the page when converting to B&W or sepia tones. It seems to work best when working with an original color file. However I have been very happy using it to enhance B&W /sepia files submitted for printing from other photographers that did their own conversion. Whenever I get requests to "work my magic" on their files, I fire up Silver Efex Pro.

An Awesome B&W Plug-In!!

I enjoy working with black & white photography; I had read a previous review of this product and decided to try it out for myself. I use it as a plug-in with other photo editing software that I have. The neat thing about this product is that there are a number of great presets from which I can use as-is or tweak to my own specifications. It saves time on my end and the results are awesome. It's easy to use and produces some stunning black & white photos.

If you love B&W buy it

One can create multiple variations on a single photograph which permits one to view that image in a variety of ways. Easy to install and very easy to use.... It works well with both Aperture 3 and Photoshop CS 4.

outstanding product

Outstanding black and white pictures. I am going to have some of them framed to hang on the wall. I will be sharing a lot of them at my creative computer class.

Great Product for B&W

Very easy to use. Tried other B&W converters but this one does such a good job there's no need for the other converters.

Great piece of software

The developers packed an amazing amount of functionality into this product. Once you get the hang of the interface you'll love it.

Good Program; Good Interface

For fine art photography. Very flexible in terms of options and being able to load new presets. Control points are great. Not so sure one couldn't get the same results with photoshop but this is much more focused and probably quicker. Could use a histogram that is visible at all times.

Beautiful Black and White conversions

Great for comparing different black and white styles. Some photos become more interesting in black and white--it's easier to isolate your center of interest.

Dream come true!

There are a variety of presets to choose from, and you can download more. It doesn't take long to find one that you like for a certain image, and start fine tuning it from there. I can see that this set of plug ins is going to hold my interest for a long time.

My black and whites look so much better with this program. The controls are easy, and I love being able to burn edges with such ease.

Great Black and White Conversion

This is a great program and I am very happy with it. The interface is very intuitive and the results are great. Using Silver Efex Pro, it has sped up my B&W workflow significantly and gives me better results than using Photoshop by itself.

Powerful Selective Tool (Adobe® Photoshop® only)
The Selective Tool gives you instant access to Silver Efex Pro and allows you to brush filter effects into your image using any brush tool available in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Layers and layer masks are created automatically, enabling you to quickly and easily apply enhancements to precise areas in your image (not available in Apple Aperture).
Smart Filter Compatibility (Adobe® Photoshop® only)
Silver Efex Pro is Smart Filter compatible which allows you to go back and fine tune black and white images even after effects have been applied (not available in Apple Aperture).
Multi-image Support (Apple® Aperture only)
