Thom Hogan has just posted a very pertinent caveat, and he puts it so much better than I could, so by your leave I’d like to quote him: So I heartily concur with your comments, and I think everyone interested should try them.

Again, probably an 80:20 ratio of Silver Efex Pro vs.

Pascal, I’ve had the Nik suite for many years now (bought mainly as an upgrade to Silver Efex Pro), and I’ve loved it to pieces - when and where it worked. We’ll discuss all of this in great detail in a couple of weeks ? All the best, Pascal His use of filters give his photographs a consistent portfolio feel (whereas mine can be all over the place ? ) and yet his personal style really shines through. I find Paul (Perton) to have mastered that beautifully. But once you are able to find a style you enjoy and still reflects you, you’re in a really nice spot. It’s easy to get trapped into a certain filter without any of your personality showing through. I think there is a danger to relying exclusively on them after a while. They guide you to places you like or dislike, eliminating the blank page syndrome. You’ll naturaly grow tired of them but still retain some of the essence in your post processing. Tools such as Nik are wonderful because you can create all sorts of weird and wonderful looks in very little time. Once you are able to describe these in a semi-formal manner, you can start to work on reproducing these qualities one by one until they become part of your alphabet and second nature.
Not just photographs, in fact, but paintings, sculptures, collages, even music.
I think the best place to start is to try to put words on the photographs you like from your own production and from others. That requires that I enhance my visualization skills and maybe use some post processing “tools” to better bring out what I saw. Finding abstract subjects on walls and posters similar to earlier painters is the only method I’ve discovered so far. It quickly became apparent to me that photography may require the same composition skills, but I was never going to create a “work” like a landscape/portrait like painting tools or not. I took up photography because I can’t draw a stick figure well. Hmm? Clearly a well composed photograph, properly exposed with an inherent story is the place to start and may itself be art, but when does employing these tools truly enhance the work or change it in a way that may even change the interpretation? To me, so far, that is the biggest challenge I am trying to bridge with photography. German language lab was a disaster! So what to do with all of these great tools? If Art is the mode of expression of how our cultures see the world through the use of media, it begs the question of what does it take to recognize and create that art and avoid “trite”? As we all know, painters make great photographers, but photographers don’t necessarily make good painters.

What to do about all these tools to enhance photos and create art? To be candid, I struggle with the total lack of a single genome of “Art” in my entire DNA code sequence, as proven my lack of understanding of math above Calculus and struggle with new language skills. Well, once again you’ve touched a really large issue in photography.
