[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 307531, member: 9240"] Saw on another forum that Google has released Nik Analog Efex Pro 2. Normally this is supposed to update automatically, but this never seems to happen for me so I just downloaded and installed the new version. The interesting thing is that I now have both Analog Efex Pro [I]and [/I]Analog Efex Pro 2 listed in the Nik Selective tool in Photoshop. Differences? Wow. They made this a lot more usable and customizable, while adding some cool new camera types. In addition to the Classic Camera, Toy Camera, Wet Plate and Vintage Cameras they had, you now get Black & White, Color Cast, Motion, Subtle Bokeh, Double Exposure and Multilens functions as presets. What's truly nice is that you can now just add and stack the various filters at will the way you do in Color Efex Pro 4. It's still done in the guise of a "Custom Camera", but it's more user friendly - just click on the filter you want to add, try it, and click again if you want to remove it, then either save the "camera" or just exit to save the image. There's a lot of subtle and not so subtle effects in the additions. Very cool motion and double exposure effects. Probably easy to overdo them - but isn't that always the case? If you've got Nik already, just download the latest trial and install - it should recognize your license. [/QUOTE]
