Your are talking about http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro/usa/entry.php but some of us have been using http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/index.aspx I've been using Exposure2 and like it a lot but now Nik has updated SilverEfexPro to be used as a plugin in Lightroom (which I use for 95% of my processing now) whereas Exposure2 still only works in Photoshop. Hope this helps. --Bob
