New Aperture Plug-In: Nik announces Silver Efex Pro
Beside a new version of Color Efex Pro for Capture NX, Nik announced a brand new plug-in for Photoshop and Aperture. Silver Efex Pro is a tool to create black & white images with the power and simplicity of the U-Point technology. You can easily fine tune portions of your black & white images. It’s also capable of emulating film grain and 18 different types of film while also providing 20 one-click preset styles. But Silver Efex Pro is also capable of color toning the image.
You can get a 15-day trial from Nik’s website. It can be purchased through Nik’s online store for US$199.95.

Silver Efex Pro is the most powerful and intuitive plug-in I’ve ever worked with for black and white imaging. The Grain Engine does an excellent job of providing a natural look to the image, and the selection of film types is good. I’d like to see the Burn Edges feature enhanced, and hopefully Nik will add a section on their website for sharing presets.
