3 TOP AZ B&W EFFECTS
Topaz B&W Effects works as a plug-in for Lightroom and Photoshop in both Windows and macOS, along with Serif Photo Plus, Corel PaintShop Pro and PhotoImpact in Windows. It takes a little more effort to install for Lightroom than many other plug-ins, as it works through an external editor called Fusion Express 2. It offers a wide range of preset ‘looks’, which can be applied with a single click.
Price: $59.99 URL: www.topazlabs.com/bweffects Extra features Along with a range of preset effects and looks, this plug-in offers quick adjustments for filter effects, exposure, toning and contrast at the top of the Adjustments window. Delve deeper, though, and there are loads of controls in the menus below this. These include a Local Adjustment to allow you to dodge and burn from within this package, rather than having to return to Photoshop or Lightroom.
