I was playing around with Nik Silver Efex Pro and came up with these... I am going to LOVE that plugin... [attachment=1] [attachment=2] [attachment=3] [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]

I'm really liking the TOT. I'm with Roger, I thought that program only did B&W? I would have tried it already, if it ran on its own.
Not sure if Tim's using this method...but the easiest way I know to get B&W converts with light color like those is to just stack the B&W image from the Nik plug-in over the original color photo (using any program that offers layers), then reduce the opacity in normal blend mode until the color bleeds through as much as you like. Oh...and nice work Tim! Looks like I need to break open the Nik effects and start playing around - these are fun!
