Digital BW, The Print

Well, I am using my own plug-in. I hope I am not violating any group rules.
A few months ago, I had written a standalone application for the creation of curves for alternative processes. The program had a B&W converter included and I did get some good feedback about it.
Well, I found out that I was switching back and forth between Photoshop and my program too much. I decided to write a plug-in instead.

The plug-in allows you to create 21 points curves for helping the creation of photos with alternative processes such as Silver, platinum....I know that part is not intended for this group. 
I am posting the info because inside the plug-in I have written a very good Black and White converter. The plug-in also has 2 filter. one to create Copyrights and the other one to make sloppy borders.

If you have any questions, please try to keep them off the list.
Here's the link: (I did redo my web site due to too many complaints)

Give it a try, you may like it.

Subject: [Digital BW] Convert color to BW plugins: Which one(s) do you use?


PREFACE
I understand there are many "non-plugin methods" for doing color to 
BW conversions, e.g. the L channel, the best of individual color 
channels, Calculations command, Channel Mixer, CS3 BW adjustment 
layer, dual Hue/Sat adjustment layers, etc. 

I've used each of these individually or in combination at one time or 
another.

==========

ARE YOU USING... (or have you evaluated) 

any of the following (or other) PLUGINS/SCRIPTS?:
* B/W Styler - www.thepluginsite.com
* BW Workflow Pro - www.FredMiranda.com 
* Black and White Studio - www.powerretouche.com
* Silver Efex Pro - www.niksoftware.com

OPINIONS
If so I'd be interested in your opinions, experiences, features you 
like, comparison commentary, etc. 

Thanks.

If possible, please RESIST irrelevant "real men/women don't use 
plugins for this purpose" commentary, OK? :-) I understand the 
generic pros/cons of plugins, actions, etc.
