Have you found NIX Silver Efex to be the best B&W converter?

To answer you question Kingmapix, "Yes." It may be that I have spent many hours using this product as opposed to the same experience with On1's Perfect B&W, but I actually did a head-to-head comparison one time and found that I got much better results from Silver Efex. I'm now a devoted user.

Thanks Frank. It definitely adds a "dramatic flair" to flowers.

Thanks much steve. It may be a long tutorial .... there are several steps along the way.

You could make a video, or a series, and post it on You Tube. Then link it here. Many would come if you build it. Sign me up too!

At this point, I probably have to admit to being a dinosaur gdoro ..... I'm not proficient at video, and right now I don't have an overriding urge to learn it. The written tutorial is the best I can do, but it will be copiously illustrated with examples.

Thanks Pixelmaster. Someone had suggested I create my own video to post, not that I was in search of ideas of how to use NIX Silver Efex. I'm pretty proficient with it already.

Thanks for the compliment Indrajeet. I keep coming back to black and white processing from time to time - it's almost as if I "see" in tones rather than hues.

Thanks Jim. I suspect there will be many more in this style in the months to come. I hope they all turn out as well as this one did.
