Good stuff. With Smart Filters, you can go back and re-edit your SEP2 adjustments without having to start over from scratch. SEP2 includes a simplified brush tool for Photoshop users that allows you to selectively paint your effects in or out of your image. However, there are improvements all the way around in SEP2 that make it stand out. The added degree of control over tonal adjustments that SEP2 provides photographers makes it deliver results that are absolutely stunning. Individuals who purchased SEP 1.

As with all Nik Software products, you can download a fully functional trial version and use it for 15 days without registering it. Thanks for providing a thorough review of SEP2. Your explanation of the new features such as Dynamic Brightness and Soft Contrast is much clearer than what Nik provides in their info.

Excellent read through of your review. Can you please clarify one point for me? When I viewed the Nik website, it lists CS3 and higher as required. I just purchased SEP2 to use primarily with Aperture 3. Areas that SEP2 seems to have an advantage include the Structure settings which seem to have a more pleasing effect than the Definition setting in Aperture, and is more refineable in areas of different tonality.

To me, the U-point system is a mixed bag. It is very handy that you can make multiple setting changes within any given U-point. In SEP2 you have the Filter controls but this only allows you to select one hue. Within the Film Types controls there are color sliders but they do not seem to work as predictably or as precisely as those in Aperture.

That could be due to my lack of experience with them however. For a low volume amatuer like myself, the time and workflow savings are not that meanigful. For a busy pro I think it would be different. The Structure, Brightness and Contrast settings and the ability to fine tune them are definitely worth it. For me, the jury is still out on U-points. I think as I get more experience and develop better sense of how they make selections, I will find them more valuable.

Just need more time to play with all the features!!!! Graeme Barrett said this on December 1, at pm Reply. Fletch, last time I spoke to you you were going to try and set up a course down your way in WA on this… Any updates?

The way that toy suggested is a fine work around as aperture only assigns colour apace upon export of version. Smaller labs with Fuji frontiers etc would be a different story though as they usually are preset to run in srgb… Or when the operator has tweaked them adobe rgb.

Still not the gamut of spaces like that of dcam3 or pro photo rgb. Spell chequers, aunt they brill? Paul Jarvis said this on December 2, at pm Reply. You are commenting using your WordPress.
