Hands down, my favorite Photoshop plug-in is Nik’s Silver Efex Pro 2. With SEP 2, photographers can create amazing black-and-white images quickly, including vignettes, borders, and toning. This works wonderfully for me, since I prefer many of my images in black-and-white. But sometimes I want selective colorization on those images, and SEP 2′s new selective color feature makes that a lot easier. Of course, as with everything in Photoshop, there’s more than one way to achieve the results you want.
