New
plug-in for Photoshop and Aperture incorporates proprietary U Point®
Technology for precise selective tonal and contrast control Software
today announced the new Silver Efex Pro photographic plug-in for use
with Adobe Photoshop and Apple Aperture, the most advanced, complete,
and straightforward black-and-white solution. Silver Efex Pro uses a
range of advanced imaging algorithms that protect against unwanted
artifacts, a comprehensive collection of 18 emulated black-and-white
film types, and a state-of-the-art grain engine that truly mimics the
silver halide process and creates the highest quality black-and-white
images possible from scanned or digital color photographs.
With Nik
Software’s patented U Point® technology, Silver Efex Pro provides
easy-to-use tools for direct on-image control of tonality, contrast,
and structure. Precisely controlling specific areas of a photo can be
achieved easily using just a few mouse clicks without the need to
create complicated selections and layer masks. Silver Efex Pro combined
with U Point technology offers users unprecedented control over
selective tonal and contrast adjustment in black-and-white images.
For
many photographers, black-and-white is their preferred outlet for
creative expression. Previously available tools often required
acceptance of a one-size-fits-all solution or complex conversion
techniques and endless fine tuning, said Michael J. Slater president
and CEO of Nik Software. Silver Efex Pro is truly a comprehensive and
easy to use software product that is specifically designed to address
the challenges that photographers face when converting images to
black-and-white.
Working seamlessly within Photoshop and Aperture,
Silver Efex Pro begins by presenting photographers with a basic neutral
conversion of their color image to black-and-white. One-click
adjustments can be made from a choice of over 20 preset styles from
nostalgic processes like the ambrotype and tin type to classic artistic
renderings, trendy high contrast, soft focus or grainy images that
emulate the most popular film types and shooting styles.
This
initial set of creative options can be used as is or as a starting
point for photographers who wish to create and even share their own
customized black-and-white styles. In addition, color filters, variable
toning controls (includes sepia, selenium, split-toning and
user-defined colors for maximum flexibility), vignettes, and more only
add to the number of advanced stylistic effects photographers will
enjoy with Silver Efex Pro .
Additional sliders for global
brightness, contrast, and structure, as well as Smart Filter
compatibility within Photoshop and multi-image support in Aperture
provide the ultimate level of control. With U Point® powered Control
Points photographers have the flexibility to specifically fine tune
tonality, contrast, and structure and create stunning black-and-white
images.
Silver Efex Pro
Silver Efex Pro provides
photo enthusiasts and professional photographers alike with complete
power and control to create professional quality black and white images
in one convenient tool.
Incredible Speed and Results with U Point® Technology
U
Point® powered control points enable you to selectively control the
tonality and contrast of an image without the need for any complicated
selections or layer masks. Gain a new level of precision and efficiency
in your photographic image editing. By placing a control point on any
part of the image you wish to alter, and moving a few simple sliders,
you can achieve incredible results in a fraction of the time required
by other tools.
State-of-the-Art Grain Engine
Silver Efex Pro
features a revolutionary new grain engine that accurately recreates
your digital photographs to look like a traditional black and white
image. In contrast to other methods which merely overlay a grain
pattern over your image, Silver Efex Pro recreates your image out of
grain mimicking the traditional silver halide process.
Film Emulation
Silver
Efex Pro emulates 18 of the most popular black and white film types,
including the grain, color sensitivity, and tone curve for each.
Advanced Stylizing
Stylize
your images with popular tints and toners, add a classic vignette, and
burn in the edges with natural darkroom-inspired tools. A collection of
over 20 preset styles, with thumbnails using the current image, let you
quickly experiment with new looks. Easily create your own style presets
too.
Powerful Selective Tool (Adobe® Photoshop® only)
The
Selective Tool gives you instant access to Silver Efex Pro and allows
you to brush filter effects into your image using any brush tool
available in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Layers and layer masks
are created automatically, enabling you to quickly and easily apply
enhancements to precise areas in your image (not available in Apple
Aperture).
Smart Filter Compatibility (Adobe® Photoshop® only)

Efex Pro is Smart Filter compatible which allows you to go back and
"fine tune" black and white images even after effects have been applied
(not available in Apple Aperture).

multiple images at once. When more than one image is opened, "Previous"
