I got Photoshop7 and silver efex runs in it.
Also folks FWIW, I posted a comparison of b&w in camera to post production here some time back, perhaps I need to revisit other tools and approaches?
Thanks for that Barto; keep forgetting other peeps use photography differently to me. But this will 'discussion' I'm sure will turn into more musings, being summer hols 'n all. Thanks for commenting, too btw, you too barb!
Sounds good barb, I of neglected to mention, that this plug-in probably only works in CS2 and above? I didn't pay it much heed, Bart of course also makes some good points, and there's another whole new blog entry in itself.
I use silver effex for bw conversions, it does a lovely job with that. I always turn the grain back to nothing, I already got it in the film shots and as for digital.... why would you?? Same for vignettes and all that other faux film stuff people like to use.
Hey s2.
I use a set of "film" filters on some of my images. I use Alienskin's Exposure 2. Exposure tries to mimic the look and feel of heaps of popular negative and slide film. I like it. The reasons I use it are:
+ some film grain can enhance some imagery Exhibit A
+ Using a digital filter means I can use my DSLR and not have to buy film + pay for processing and/or wait to see/use the results
+ I have complete control over the effect and intensity of the grain so I can experiment with what works for the image
+ It's easy :)
