Silver Efex Pro 2 Product Key

You'll be able to convert colour photos to non colored documents in Photoshop as well as Lightroom (or ones Raw conversion application of choice). But the last few years have also seen a rise in the volume of plug-ins built to accomplish nothing else, apart from convert photos for you to monochrome.

Today I’m going to see what many people consider for being the best non colored documents plug-in around – Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro only two. Rather than give a comprehensive review in the software, I’m going to see some of the things you can do with it that you just can’t (or will be much more difficult) inside Photoshop or Lightroom.

Silver Efex Pro only two has four sliders for adjusting contrast. The Contrast slider is equivalent to the one inside Lightroom or Adobe Video camera Raw. The Amplify Whites and Amplify Blacks sliders permit you to increase Contrast inside the highlights and shadows respectively. There’s also a Soft Contrast slider which increases contrast but also in a less hostile way, almost as if you find an overlay connected with gaussian blur. This slider can be quite useful for portraits.

If you get overly enthusiastic with the Contrast sliders you'll be able to lose detail inside the highlights and shadows. So, in addition towards four sliders mentioned above, there are a couple of Tonality Protection sliders utilized to bring back depth in clipped locations.

The Film Types panel gives you to choose 18 different non colored documents films. When you ultimately choose one the plug-in emulates the tonality and grain structure in the selected film. It’s a good way to get the film look without having to shoot, develop, and scan non colored documents film.
