I'm looking for a B&W conversion tool for Photoshop as good as the JFI profiies are in C1. I love them but C1's file structure is driving me crazy.

I've got things down to a short list of

Imaging Factory Pro Convert to B&W
(MR at LL like it a lot)

Imagenomic's Real Grain (which has film profiles just like JFI profiles)

Any one used one or both? Anything better?

I have Pro Convert and Imagenomic's Exposure.

I use the Imaging Factory software for smooth looking B&W's, but I much prefer the film look of Exposure. You don't have any grain control in Pro Convert.

Alien Skin now moving up... - 02-18-2007, 08:52 AM


Thanks for the information on the lack of grain control. Grain is what I want..

Last night a number of people on photo.net got me looking at Alien Skin's Exposure. It may have just moved to the top of the list. I can with my academic discount get it for the same as the other two.

It looks like it really has the film simulations I'm looking for just like JKI's C1 profiles.
