The Silver Efex Pro 2 Preset Contest #1 Why did we chose just one software and not all B&W tools in the market? • Silver Efex Pro 2 (SEP2) is a leading state of the art B&W tool () • SEP2 allows to exchange presets. This way there is no needs for any textual descriptions as the preset contains all instructions (Control Points excluded) • We want to make sure that all of our readers can experience the conversions on their own machines. This will also enable them to create their own presets derived from the original. This time we selected a landscape photo taken with the Canon EOS 60D. Contest Rules • You need a version of Silver Efex Pro 2.

Name the preset like 'SEP2_C01__.np' ( and replaced by your name).
