| Tina, Thanks for the info on Exposure 3, I'll look at it. I did some comparative conversions using LR and Silver Efex Pro 2 and don't see a whole gob of difference between the prints with either one. After working with LR for several years then trying SEP2 I find the interface a bit clunky by comparison. I suppose it just depends on what you get used to. Yes, you can add grain in Silver Efex and yes, there are many presets available for LR...I've tried several and like most things some are good, some not for me. I do appreciate the input on this.

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. |
