Advertisement Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Hi Guest WPalank, Take a look here Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 now available in US. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Shootist Posted February 24, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for the Promo code. I had Pre-Ordered it and after reading your post and going to there website the promo code worked. I also received a Email from them stating the software was read for download and that my CC had been charged the full 99 bucks. So I called them and got, supposedly, the promo offer credited. We will see when it shows up on my online CC statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted February 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2011 I took the webinar on the new product yesterday and downloaded and installed it today. A lot more preecise controls make it seem pretty appealing to me. I don't add borders much, but it has a new feature to do so. Also a bunch of new presets.And it's nice to be able to work on a white background. Looks like an already great product much improved. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickan1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 24, 2011 It is available in Europe also. I already had version 1 and therefore only payed 99 euros. There are some major improvements on an already mature product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted February 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 24, 2011 Just upgraded and it is great. Love the fact that you can now 1.go back to earlier modifications as in LR3 2. more powerful control points 3. Print borders 4 work with a black background don't like the fact that tapping on the photo no longer seems to zoom in just posted one here Effra Road Chapel | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Guest WPalank Posted February 24, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2011 It is available in Europe also. I already had version 1 and therefore only payed 99 euros. There are some major improvements on an already mature product. Good to hear Stig. The reason for my US specification is that almost every time I've made a Nik upgrade announcement (I like and own their entire suite), someone from the UK comes on blaming me or calling the software a piece of garbage because they couldn't download it at that precise moment. I just wanted to be clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted February 25, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 25, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks guys, you all cost me 99 Euro even before I had my breakfast I got the upgrade and I really like some of the new functions, the histogram 'zone system' is terrific and a really easy way to assess the tonal range. I'm going to play with it later and am sure I'll find even more things to like. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted February 25, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 25, 2011 So no one is having any problems with V2 of SEP? Well I am. Win 7 64bit, CS5. Remove version 1, install V2. Start CS5 and then a image. Click on SEP and a new layer is created and then the program, CS5 and SEP, hang. Have to go to Task Manager and force closure of CS5. And this is with and without SP1 for Win 7. Haven't tried it on XP yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwrangler Posted February 25, 2011 Share #9 Posted February 25, 2011 Problems here as well. I use SEP 2 from LR 3.3. Does not open files converted to PSD, i have to convert then to TIFFs to get SEP 2 to open them. Annoying. Besides that i found no glitches - yet.

ns_ng Posted February 25, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 25, 2011 Just upgraded. No problem. Running Win 7 64-bit and CS5. I did not remove V1. It seems to be slightly slower than V1. N.S. Ng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted February 25, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 25, 2011 Booted up XP Pro SP2 with CS5 and unistalled V1 installed V2 and other then it is SLOW it works. Now to figure out my Win 7 64bit problem. I did reinstall V1 on that OS so I'll try installing over the top. But NIK suggests to uninstall the older version.

Guest WPalank Posted February 25, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 25, 2011 On the Photoshop Forums with Windows machines more people seem to be having trouble when they UNINSTALL V1 prior to the installation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted February 25, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 25, 2011 Upgraded last night onto my iMac and aperture ..... somehow it wiped my aperture registration info so that it wouldn't open without entering the serial number....... which of course I couldn't locate and caused a fair degree of panic !! turned up in a saved pdf squirreled away somewhere obscure amongst a gazillion other docs.... V2 works fine and has some nice new features.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 25, 2011 Share #14 Posted February 25, 2011 No problems upgrading on Mac OS X. Works fine from LR3 and CS5. Easy borders, at last Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckw Posted February 25, 2011 Share #15 Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks to the OP for the heads-up on availability and for the discount code! The code did indeed give me a 15% discount on my upgrade. I'm using Silver Efex on PS CS5 on a Mac and did have some trouble getting rid of the previous version. Despite running the uninstall feature from the setup program for version 1, version 1 would not go away! I finally had to locate it in the plug-ins folder for PS and drag it to the trash to get rid of it. Version 2 works great, all of the new presets are helpful.

viramati Posted February 25, 2011 Share #16 Posted February 25, 2011 Have found a problem with V2 in that it seems to open with a vey low contrast image that bears no relation to the image in LR3. I have no problem with V1 and this basically makes it unuseable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with V1 and this basically makes it unuseable Is the "Film Type" in the right panel Neutral by default? I'm on a Mac Pro with latest OS and it's fast and works perfectly in LR and CS5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted February 26, 2011 Share #18 Posted February 26, 2011 Have found a problem with V2 in that it seems to open with a vey low contrast image that bears no relation to the image in LR3. I have no problem with V1 and this basically makes it unuseable Yes I think I know what you mean, the image is flat and out of focus if V2 opens at the default size (centre of screen). I reported this to Nik as a bug yesterday. If I open the same image in V1 its sharp, in V2 its OOF. V2 opens by default (in CS5/Win 7) with both side bars open (the profiles on the left and the tools on the right) as does V1, and I've never used it any other way. You can get a sharp image if you close either of the side bars or have V2 set for full screen. Its a wonder nobody at Nik could see this before offering it for sale, and the beta testers must have been asleep. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted February 26, 2011 Share #19 Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks steve thats pretty much what I get. Do you also find that it is more contrasty when saving back to LR3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted February 26, 2011 Share #20 Posted February 26, 2011 I don't use LR3, just CS5, but I don't think I'm having any problems with differing contrast when I'm using V2 full screen (sharp image, normal contrast) but I imagine the poor flat and OOF default size image is going to get a skewed amount of processing to compensate, so will reflect this when back in LR3.
