That's a shame about Image Factory, no wonder Nik is charging so much.

I don't use Photoshop (yet) so I got DxO's "Film Pack."

It's seems to be a pretty scaled-down product compared to Silver Efex and Alien Skin. However, it can run stand-alone, so it can be used by us Photoshopically-challenged lens-jockeys.

The choices are not extensive, and the toners have no gradiation (either full-on or nothing at all) but what it does it does well, and the grain-simulation is terrific.

You can see some quick work I did with it, on someone else's low-Q jpeg, here:

also here, though I overdid the exposure compensation on some of them:

Also, it's only $99. Might be worth a look for some folks.

I cannot get the Nik link for a $50 discount on NAPP to work. I am a memeber and I am logged on but when I try and use the $50 discount link I get page cannot be displayed. I have looked on NAPP for a discount code so that I can go directly to Nik but no luck. Any help on how you guys got the discount would be very appreciated

I just tried it and the link is working fine. Log into Napp. Go to the members discounts section for software and plug-ins. There is a special link there that takes you to the Nik site w/ the Nik Silver Efex Pro for $149 instead of $199. Doing it this way you also get some free b&w photo paper.

Note: you can also go to the Adorama website and get it for $169 w/ free shipping, but no free b&w paper.

hope this helps.

Hey Jeff - thanks for the info. That is exactly what I am doing but I get that error. Strange! I will try it again. Thanks.

I believe you might mean: NAPP vs. NAAP.
