Even in this digital age, black and white photography remains a touchstone of the art. No wonder every imaging program has simple tools to convert color images to grayscale. However, none of those utilities gave us the kind of accessible creative control over quality, grain, tonality, and dynamic range that we used to have in our old film darkrooms… until Nik Software Silver Efex Pro ($200, 15-day free trial) came on the scene.
It has been a long time since we have been as impressed with an imaging program as we are with Silver Efex Pro. It actually aces our old darkroom in fun, creativity and power–without all the chemical fumes.
Nik Silver Efex Pro is available at an academic discount price of $115.
