Incredible Speed and Results with U Point® Technology
U Point powered Control Points enable you to selectively control the tonality and contrast of an image without the need for any complicated selections or layer masks. Gain a new level of precision and efficiency in your photographic image editing. By placing a control point on any part of the image you wish to alter, and moving a few simple sliders, you can achieve incredible results in a fraction of the time required by other tools.
Silver Efex Pro features a revolutionary new grain engine that accurately recreates your digital photographs to look like a traditional black and white image. In contrast to other methods which merely overlay a grain pattern over your image, Silver Efex Pro recreates your image out of grain mimicking the traditional silver halide process.

Silver Efex Pro emulates 20 of the most popular black and white film types, including the grain, color sensitivity, and tone curve for each.
Advanced Stylizing — Stylize your images with popular tints and toners, add a classic vignette, and burn in the edges with natural darkroom-inspired tools. A collection of over 20 preset styles, with thumbnails using the current image, let you quickly experiment with new looks. Easily create your own style presets too.
