Hi Nathan,

I?m quite agree with you, I use after years Silver Efex Pro 2 but I add very 
slow values, I don?t like at all the over processed pictures, but if you use 
it carefully, increasing blacks, whites, working a little bit with shadows I 
think you can improve some pictures, not all. I don?t use presets, I have my 
own presets and actually I adjust it manually, I usually put ?Structure? 
maximum between 10 and 20, normally about 10 or something more. It is useful 
too for very slight toning, at least is what I do, However many times I 
compare the picture with Silver Efex Pro 2 and not and I keep the 
unprocessed one.

My advice is try it carefully, don?t exaggerate the values you put and I 
think you will like better the results

Un abrazo
Lluis
