Topaz Labs offers a number of plug-ins for
Lightroom and Photoshop. My favorite is
Topaz Clarity but Topaz B&W is quite good
when you want a stand-out black and white
treatment for a specific photo and don't
want to put too much time into making it
happen.
Nik (now owned by Google) also has what I
understand is an outstanding product for
this purpose. I have not used that product. |

Here is a sample photo that I have run
through Topaz B&W 2 a number of times to
demonstrate the broad range of
possibilities. Click on the "More

Note: Topaz will offer significant discounts
on new products when they are first
released, usually around half price. They
will also offer discounts from time to time
on their products.
As with most software these days, you can
trial a full version of the software for 30
days to assist you in your purchase
decision. |
