Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone tried Power Retouche's Photoshop B&W plug-in? It appears 
to have some neat features.  I've read that Fred Miranda's B&W Pro 
Workflow causes pretty severe image degaradation, so I'm a little 
hesitant to use any of theses B&W plug-ins...
   
Thanks in advance,
Steve B

steve-

I've been using it since the version before this one. It is 
fantastic. I have also used fred miranda, silver oxide, color efex 
and a few that work only in 8 bit. I like this better than any. It is 
also terrific for shadow (black definition) enhancement and their 
sharpening tool is excellent and relatively fast. The contrast tool 
is ok (I like color efex better) and few of the other ones get 
ocassional use.

Highly recommended.

cheers,

Tom O'Connell

Tom,
 
I have been using silver oxide's tri-x plug-in.  Sometimes I don't feel that it is that flexible nor as smooth.  Any specific thoughts on how it compares to power touch?
 
Thanks,
Janus
