Nice set Carol. You always post excellent color flower pictures so I concentrated on the B&W. I don't know how to describe it but the Silver Efex 3 has a little more pizazz. If that is the result of the software or your editing skills I don't know. If you used Silver Efex 2 in the past do you see any improvement in Ver. 3?

Thank you. I agree. There is definitely more contrast or something in the second one. I probably could have improved the first one but I think the second was pretty much straight Silver Efex. I really hadn't used NIK enough to know but I have decided to use it more and I am very pleased so far.

This week a yellow milkweed that had grown from seed decided to bless me with blossoms. This plant is in my front flower bed just outside the front door. Initially, I processed the raw file in Affinity just using the usual tweaks to contrast and then sharpening using Topaz Sharpen ai and Affinity's High Pass Filter.

Since it was rainy, hot and steamy outside, I decided to play for a bit. My next version is a simple B&W using Topaz Studio 2 for the conversion. For number 3 I decided to get a bit more off the wall. In this instance the same photo was run through Topaz Studio 2 using the Yellow Intensity Filter. Finally, for number 4, another B&W but this time converted using NIK Silver Efex Pro 3.

This is just a way to get a lot of practice and fun out of one shot.

It was fun to work on the same photo to get such different looks.
