Jan 16, 2011 18:01 | #2 My request for feedback was perhaps misleading. I would like feedback (Positive and negative) from ANYONE. Would be nice to hear from other SIlver Effects users, but all feedback is vital and appreciated.

Jan 16, 2011 18:21 | #5 Sorry, wasn't trying to be disrespectful at all, and I appreciated his feedback. His photos and professional model have blown mine away and subsequent comments would probably focus on his photos, which would defeat the purpose of my posting anything to start with. I've deleted the comment since it may, and has been taken out of context. The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground.

I am just a beginner and working with a non-pro model. What would be helpful would be to tell me "how" it can be improved, vs just showing me how much I suck!

I don't normally use vignetting, but is a result of the particular silver effect filter used. I don't know if I can lose the vignetting without tossing the whole effect but if thats what needs to be done then so be it Go ro the special effects area and set the vignette to 0 Canon 1ds Mark III

Thanks Ken.... Let me hop back into SE-P and see if I can re-crank this one out of the mill. The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground.

Went back into SE-Pro, and the vignetting was set to zero. Apparently this effect is created by some to other method, but is not created as a separately modifiable vignette. I could be wrong of course, and it could be because the photo was saved back into LR3 and the vignetting information was lost when the file was flattened. Here is the original before it was sent to Silver Effects Pro, is this one better?
Certainly more to my taste though a little dark Canon 1ds Mark III

Jan 16, 2011 19:03 | #12 Which brings me to my point of what these pre-canned effects provide? The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground.

Most of the Seffects are really dark and thne brightness option does not help Canon 1ds Mark III

So should I pass on purchasing SE Pro? Does it have any practical use to "improve" B&W, or is it just another gizmo to save time? Here's the latest version. Upped the Exp by 1 stop, and reduced the sharpening a tad on some of the skin tones (thought ti was over sharpened.
Nicer now. Canon 1ds Mark III
