Here is a small collection of some of my favorite black and white images that Silver Efex Pro helped me create. And I’ve come to rely on Silver Efex as my favorite way to convert to black and white images.

While I am not sponsored by Nik Software nor do I make any money by posting this information, I am happy to spread the word about a solid product that I find myself utilizing on a day to day basis. The new Nik Collection 4 suite of image editing and enhancement apps is a reasonably large update, and there’s a bunch of new controls and features in a couple of the major components, particularly Silver Efex Pro and Viveza. This feature effectively allows you to control the multiple editing variables in selective amounts throughout the image, giving a finer control over your finished images. Nik Software is known for the “revolutionary U Point technology that enables you to fine-tune your images with precise selective enhancements”. All of my best black and white images have atleast had a pass through Silver Efex Pro and I can only imagine that Silver Efex Pro 2 will be better in every way. The U Point revolution 2005 In 2004, Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 added Nikon Capture 4 compatibility. Silver Efex Pro (the current version) is truly one of my favorite photography editing plugins/programs. Between 19, the suite added three new software programs: Nik Color Efex Pro for color conversions Nik Sharpener Pro, the first solution dedicated to controlling sharpness and Dfine, which rewrote the book on noise reduction. Nik Software recently announced Silver Efex Pro 2 and I have to say that I am extremely excited.
