\"\"Digital Imaging Tips by Dan Moughamian<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most photographers and photo buyers will tell you that they love black and white images. There’s just something about them that speaks to people in a different way.<\/p>\n

This tutorial will show you some of the techniques you can use with the most powerful Black & White plugin available in my opinion, which is Silver Efex Pro 2<\/a> from Nik Software<\/a>. It’s a great way to expand Photoshop’s capabilities without greatly expanding the learning curve (not to mention it will help you take your favorite shots and make them even better!).<\/p>\n
