![]() The first instinct is to start clicking on presets to see how it suits your image (at least that is my first instinct). When opening an image in Tonality Pro, you are greeted with the default conversion, all sliders in their neutral position. Tonality Pro is a program that seems to have borrowed a bit from the NIK approach, quite literally as I do believe some of the developers and programers have moved over to MacPhun since the Google buyout of NIK, and that is both a really good thing, and apparent when getting into the program. ![]() I’ve also really liked Topaz B&W Effects as a budget friendly plugin, packing a lot of bang for the buck, but Tonality Pro’s little brother, Tonality (standalone only) offers much of what Tonality Pro does, at a fraction of the cost as well covering both the low and higher ends of the plugin marketplace.ĭownload a free trial of Tonality Pro to play along HERE. This is not to take away from either, as they are both great pieces of software, of which I’ve used for years, extensively. These are pricy programs though, or in SEP’s case, now only available as part of the whole Google package, not having been updated since version 2. I always found Exposure winning any head to head I’ve ever done. It’s no secret that I am a fan of Alien Skin Exposure as it offers a great value for both B&W and Color film emulation, and in my reviews, I’ve often pitted it against NIK Silver Efex Pro which has often been seen as the standard. Available for $69.99, it begs the question, what does it provide, and what might it skimp on versus other, great, more expensive B&W conversion programs? With 16 bit processing and RAW support for many current cameras, MacPhun Tonality Pro (click here) is a Mac only program which can be used as a standalone, or as a plugin for Aperture, Light Room and Photoshop. If I were to ask you, which black and white software do you feel is the best out right now, what would you say? NIK Silver Efex Pro? Alien Skin Exposure 6? OnOne Perfect B&W? Topaz B&W Effects? While I can, and would make arguments for a couple of these, I have to say that this question for Mac users just got a whole lot harder.
