![]() But what happens when Lightroom is upgraded or when Apple or Microsoft introduces the next operating system? Sadly, almost certainly Silver Efex will one day refuse to work. ![]() My Silver Efex Pro will continue to work as a plug-in for Lightroom. In the immediate future this isn’t a problem. Google has decided to stop support for the Nik collection and there will be no further development. Except, as we all know, there’s always a snag if something comes free. Then I read that Google had bought Nik Software and, to celebrate the purchase, they decided to make it free and give me the remaining components of the Nik suite. I couldn’t afford the full suite of applications but I grew to depend on this black-and-white processor. When I first purchased Silver Efex Pro is was expensive, well over £100 as I remember. Unfortunately all is not well in the land of Nik and there is now a big question mark over its future. The rather flat standard DNG output from the Monochroms need a bit of work and Silver Efex was a quick way of adding a bit more life. ![]() I loved that program and it encouraged me to like monochrome output more and more, especially when I got my hands on the Leica Monochrom camera. I discovered the black-and-white processing tool back in the days of Apple Aperture and I was glad to find it could also be integrated into my Lightroom workflow. Silver Efex Pro is the member of the Nik Collection that is the most loved, at least in the circles I move in. Little Angel - I just love Silver Efex Pro. ![]()
