We suffer from bad broadband connection when you download and install silver Efex Pro 2, which can give a fair evaluation for games. But if it is running to the other programs we download, Nick must be up and running in less than 10 minutes.

To enable the silver Efex Pro 2, you have to upload an image to your editing suite. For the purposes of this test, we used Adobe Photoshop CS4. Once uploaded, go to the Filter tab, select the bottom selection software Nick "Dope" from the list. After launching, the picture that you selected in a separate window within the program. Will be converted to a situation of blacks and whites in silver Efex.

Launch silver Efex

Main window is split into three parts. On the right side of the black and white filters that can appear at the same time, divided into three sections and one custom preset.  Alternatively, select the all option will display all of the available filtering much easier to review, albeit longer. Great thing about these situations in advance so that they will more different are likely to find an option in there to suit any kind of pictures you've taken.

The main window

However, if you find yourself puzzled, or if you want to modify some corner of the window allows you to do so. There are five tabs to choose from, once you clicked on one of the main picture has changed in the middle of the window, and then start moving the slider to the right to make your adjustments. If you want to start from scratch, has a pattern 000 (neutral) all settings at zero until you can make changes as you wish.

There are three main sliders brightness, contrast and structure. Sliding structure gives an effect similar to that found in the clarity adjustment "Adobe raw." New features in silver Efex Pro 2 were soft dynamic brightness and contrast. Two sliders here brightness and contrast using these new features. Both features analysis of tonal qualities of the image and adjust the settings according to the results. This means that unless you move right up to 100%, with brightness, you're less likely to get burn the highlights but you can still get details in shadowy areas. Likioisi with soft contrast, don't just shove a load of contrast in the image, it applies strict, add different amounts in different parts of the image to make sure it remains sympathetic to the result you are trying to achieve.
