Re: [Digital BW] Silver Efex Pro 2 or Silver Shadows Pro

2012-04-25 by mehrdad

i have been using silver efx pro since version 1 and all i can say it is a
great product, simple to use with a lot of pre built functions and lots of
flexibility when you want more. i do believe you can demo one for a while
without charge
