Testimonials
I was very happy with my first order! Great phone service and quick shipping. Thanks!
Rob Nerpel
I ordered a Nanuk case from the NSN store. I didn't know that the Nanuk cases are shipped directly from the manufacturer, and that they don't ship internationally. (I live in Japan.) Well, I received an email from Tara of NSN that read, "The Nanuk Cases are shipped directly from NANUK when we recieve an order, however, they do not ship internationally. So I will have them deliver the case to me. Once I receive it, I will ship your NANUK case and the Think Tank Cable Management altogether. This process will take about one week. Once it ships, I will get the Express Mail tracking number to you." This my friends is know as GREAT SERVICE!!!!!

Powerful All-in-One Black & White Workflow

Whether you are a professional or a hobbyist yearning for those days in the darkroom, Silver Efex Pro 2 gives you all the power and control you need to create high quality black and white images.

In the past, black and white tools often meant compromising on the quality of the conversion or required a complex and lengthy multi-step process that didn't ensure predictable results. We set out to create a single workflow solution that provides everything you need for the highest quality results.

Revolutionary U-Point Technology

U Point technology lets you select an area of an image with one click, identifying it with a "control point" and then make changes using sliders connected directly to the control point. This technology makes Silver Efex Pro 2 the only black and white application where precise selective editing is possible. Selective editing is especiallycritical in black and white photography where you want to ensure that tonality and contrast in the image is exactly what you want.

Specially Developed Algorthims [NEW]
Achieve incredible results faster than ever with never-before-seen advancements in black and white controls such as Dynamic Brightness, Fine Structure, Soft Contrast, Amplify Whites, Amplify Blacks, and our legendary Grain Engine.

Intuitive History Browser
The new History Browser enables you to explore all of the features in Silver Efex Pro 2 with the freedom to try different looks, undo adjustments at any time, and compare different edited history states of your image.

Dynamic Brightness [NEW]
Intelligently adjust brightness in your images using the new Dynamic Brightness control. This unique new tool adapts the brightness effect to existing tonalities in an image, creating spectacular results.

Amplify Blacks & Whites [NEW]
Accentuate blacks and whites in your image for greater impact by increasing the presence of highlights and shadows adaptively throughout the image. Unique contrast effects are easily achieved without blocking up darker areas of an image or blowing out lighter ones.

Structure & Fine Structure [NEW]
Typical contrast adjustments enhance lights and darks along edges. Introduced in the first version of Silver Efex Pro, our innovative Structure control works more precisely "between" the edges to enhance images, often working in concert wtih contrast. We've gone further still in Silver Efex Pro 2. The new Fine Structure control brings out even more visible detail in the smallest structures, details, and textures of an image without creating an over-sharpened look.

Grain Engine
Film grain often sets the mood of an image. Silver Efex Pro 2 has an unparalleled grain reproduction algorithm that doesn't merely layer grain on an image but rather recreates the image using the grain settings you've chosen. The result is a more natural-looking image that evokes the nostalgic film era.

One-Click Visual Presets
Achieve spectacular results with a collection of over 30 visual style presets categorized by photographic style and displayed using your current image. Presets provide a great starting point for your masterpiece, plus you can easily create your own and share them with others.

Soft Contrast [NEW]
Conventional contrast darkens and lightens details in a very straightforward yet unsophisticated manner, often producing images that are harsher than intended. Soft Contrast, however, adds contrast to an image by applying contrast to different areas of the image in a dynamic way. By intelligently adapting contrast to image details, Soft Contrast achieves a softer mood or feeling in the photograph.

Natural Image Borders [NEW]
Silver Efex Pro 2 contains an entirely new set of intelligent algorithms that incorporate organic elements to create unique, natural, and random image borders.

Also Featuring:
Selective Color, Vignettes & Burned Edges, One-click Toning, Film Emulation, Smart Filters, Multi-image support (Lightroom only), all in a time-saving interface.
