It surely is fun to play with I must say.

Another conversion from a color original using this terrific new plugin.

Highly recommended.

Lovin' your conversions!

Here's another one when I can get it to work. Keeps freezing up my CS3 so I've ordered some more RAM, hopefully that will fix the problem cuz I'm loving the outcomes!

This one is hand-tinted chiffon under the Opalotype Collection.

I finally played with it a bit today... started with this HDR Lily I shot this morning:



I liked this version after playing in B&W Effects:



And really liked this blend of the color and B&W images above...

Wow, those are beautiful Brad, but I still prefer the HDR one because it's such a colorful flower.

I think the colorized version at the bottom is best, and it's razor sharp.

I went for it.

Today is the last day for the $29 price.

I took this photo long time ago, but I converted to B&W with the topaz plug-in

Brad- X3 and X4 have BW conversion built in. Look under Film Effects. You can enter the values to imitate various types of film and save them as presets if you want. Do the conversion, then tweak it with the Brightness/Contrast controls.
X4 also has some filters that might give good BW effects, but I haven't tried them yet.

I know.. but the built in tools from PSP have always left me wanting more... and this plug in does WAY more than just conversion.

[Buddha]

Okay. Thanks.

Let me get this straight, that was a push-button conversion? Wow! Stunning.

And here's one using the Opalotype Collection > Milk Memories. Thought it turned out pretty cool!
