Toning in SEP has always been a powerful tool. This is a very powerful feature to help optimizing your images.Ī new feature in SEP2 can create customized flexible borders. The new SC feature allows that selective colors blend through. You can now also control selectively Amplify Whites, Amplify Blacks and Fine Structure.Ĭontrol Point can now combined into Groups and also copying is made more easy. Best you change the slider so that no halos are visible.Ĭontrol Points in SEP1 are a key feature and not available in any other B&W software.
Note: Sometimes adaptive controls like "Dynamic Brightness" and "Soft Contrast" can produce halos if strong settings are used with images that feature high contrast edges. We find the new controls welcome and a major improvement over SEP1. "Fine Structure" extracts very fine details.
Structure: Structure deals with the detail and now works on Shadows, Midtones, Highlights."Soft Contrast" is also an adaptive tool to improve contrast. Contrast: Amplify Whites and Amplify Blacks."Dynamic Brightness" is a local operator that distributes brightness over different brightness regions determined by the software. Brightness: Shadows, Midtones, Highlights.SEP2 provides much finer global control where with SEP1 you needed to use Control Points: How did SEP1 get away with it? The Control Point feature allows fine selective control. SEP1 had only 3 simple sliders to globally control Brightness, Contrast and Structure (some sort of detail control). SEP2 adds a lot more control for global tonal adjustments. More sliders not always mean an improvement. This means the expectations for Silver Efex Pro 2 are high. Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro 1 ( reviewed here) has gained a high reputation in the market for excellent B&W conversions. Follow our Silver Efex Pro 2 Preset Contest
