Nik is having a Black Friday sale, and I'm interested, but it's still a lot of money.
I've seen on this site and others, people raving about Silver Efex Pro 2.
I downloaded a trial a while ago, but it's expired and I can't seem to trial it again.
Can someone explain to me how Silver Efex Pro 2 could help me develop better B&W than LR, especially in shooting m43?
I know there were a lot of presets, but does Efex just render better? Does it provide tools LR doesn't? Can anyone show samples where they felt Efex did something LR couldn't, or better yet, where you tried something side-by-side with LR, and the Efex version just came out better?
Or is it just quicker/easier to make adjustments in Efex than LR (although storage takes a hit with TIFF or PSD conversions).
Thanks for any help/insight.
