'morning all
I decided to download Nik Silver Efex Pro and give it a whirl.
I've been playing around with a B&W conversion of this pano for a few
days but 10 minutes with Nik produced a version that was much better
than any I had been able to achieve,

(you can see a bigger version by clicking the link under the image)
The pano comprises six images merged with Hugin. The colour version was
processed in CS3 before letting Silver Efex loose on it.
Silver Efex Pro is certainly a powerful bit of software and I haven't
scratched the surface of it's features yet, but at $200 there's no way
I'll be buying it after the 15 day trial is over.
Comments, as always, much appreciated.
Cheers
Brian
If you have to pay for it yourself, you might as well go ahead and
plunge for the bundle with Dfine, Viveza (think Tony Sweet), HDR Efex
Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro and Sharpener Pro. The
Lightroom/Aperture version is only $299.95 USD.
The "Complete Collection Ultimate Edition" (i.e. for Photoshop) is
$499.95 USD, but still a whole lot less than buying each of the
individual products.
HDR Efex Pro only works with 64-bit CS4 or CS5 on the Photoshop side,
but the Lightroom/Aperture version works with Lightroom 2.3 or later and
Aperture 2.1 or later - 32 or 64 bit.
If you do like I did and win your choice of any one as a door prize go
for Color Efex Pro.
