Request advice on best software for color -> B&W conversion
It's a pain to do it in PS, so I'm looking for suggestions on the best software to quickly make a b&w version of a color photo. Hopefully it's easy to use and will give options like which film type to emulate, control over grain, and maybe stuff like tinting to give interesting looks like sepia.
Much obliged for suggestions.
NIK Silver Effects Pro is a very popular conversion software, but for some reason the latest version, since becoming part of Google, just does not work as well as pre-Google version. I notice that some of the presets have changed also. Has anyone else noticed this?
I don't use it any more and find a combination of ACR and Photoshop to work well. Sometimes I do use one of the NIK products to add a little "structure".
