I thought silver efex 2 does have a film selection (or was it color efex) in the right-side drop down menu, no? I like their u-point technology for easier manipulation.
I have not used Alien Skin explosure 3 or lightroom, so can not compare directly, but I do like Silver efex Pro 2 a lot.

With Silver Efex Pro you get lots of presets with different looks - like infrared or sepia - and you have the U-point that Nik uses for individual adjustments. It's faster and easier than Lightroom; however, I've used both Silver Efex Pro 2 and Alien Skin's Exposure 3. I find that I use Exposure 3 much more often. With ASE3, you can choose actual films like Tri-X or Scala and you get the look of that film complete with grain. It's really, really good. It's faster, easier and better than LR.Hope this helps.TinaOn Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 4:20 PM, Lea Murphy <lea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Can any of you speak to the difference in bw conversion using SEP2 vs Lightroom.
Can I achieve results with it that are different, faster, better than what I can do in Lightroom?
I appreciate input from those using it.
