I've been going through a bit of a dry patch lately. Finding it a bit hard to get motivated photographing and/or editing anything.
This bit of scrawl on the back of a park bench seemed to resonate with me.

After a bit of PP in CC2022 and NIK Silver Efex

[Isac]

Different! It looks like you got your Nik sorted. I know you love Nik but I prefer B&W in PS

[Grumpy John]

That was done with NIK 3, which is doing everything except Perspective Efex.

[Isac]

Would you use perspective efex?

[Grumpy John]

Probably not now that there is a very good perspective correction option available in ACR.

[HansE]

Is that where the expression get Nicked comes from ?

[Grumpy John]

Possibly.

Nice work John. I like Nik too. Silver Efex is good I and also find DFine good for NR, Colour Efex for a couple of functions and sharpener works well also.
