San Diego, CA –January 17, 2011– Nik Software (announces today Silver Efex Pro 2, a major upgrade to its award-winning Silver Efex Pro software, widely regarded by photographers as the leading black-and-white software solution on the market today. New and more powerful features make it easier than ever to create stunning black-and-white images

Nik Software Announces Silver Efex Pro 2 for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom & Apple Aperture See a demo video of Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 here.

New GPU Processing take advantage of the processors on advanced display adapters to provide faster performance.

New Selective colorization easily adds color elements back into images utilizing U Point technology to precisely select objects.

New Image Borders use organic image elements to create random borders, giving classic darkroom-style edges a modern look.

New Fine Structure brings out small details and textures.

New Soft Contrast applies contrast based on image details.

New Visual Presets categorized by photographic style provide single-click starting points, which can be edited and shared with others.

New Amplify Blacks and Amplify Whites increases the presence of highlights and shadows adaptively throughout the image.

New Dynamic Brightness enables adaptive brightening adjustments for different areas in the image.

New History Browser lets you compare previous edits and different looks.

Here are some other key new features in Silver Efex Pro 2: According to Nik, this was because many classic black-and-white film stocks no longer exist and the company only wants to add a digital film filter to Silver Efex Pro if they can get the look right. The only disappointment with Silver Efex Pro 2 is that no new film type filters have been added to the program. The demo conversion photos we saw were gorgeous and we’re looking forward to putting this program through it’s paces once it comes out in February. (One criticism of color images that are converted into black-and-white via software is that the shift from shadows to whites is too abrupt and harsh-looking.) In particular, Nik has tried to improve the shadow transitions in the midtones so they’re smoother. Nik appears to have gone to extensive lengths to make the digitally converted black-and-whites look more natural so they mimic true silver halide black-and-white photos. There’s also a wide variety of new presets, letting you transform you color images into eye-catching black-and-whites with just one click.

Upgraded features in the new application offer increased control over detail, contrast and tonality. We saw a demonstration of a beta version of Silver Efex Pro 2 and were impressed with how much has changed both externally and under-the-hood with the program.
