Digital BW, The Print

The second version of Nik represents a significant improvement.  To 
my mind, the most valuable modification is a selective sharpening 
option which autommatically adds a layer to the file and then lets 
you choose whether to apply the sharpening to the entire image and 
erase what you do not want or to "paint" on sharpening where you want 
it.  You have the full choice of brushes and opacity and thus a lot 
of control over the process.  I find it great for portraits as I use 
the paint option and then sharpen only eyes, mouth and hair leaving 
the skin as is.  

It also provides a capture sharpen option but I cannot decide if that 
really works well or not.

Worth the upgrade.
