Thank you all. Luv Silver efex except for its limitation around selections. I had to do the B&W conversion first and then continue editing in LR.
I am now in salvage mode. The B&W images I have been posting in the last 3 days were taken over 10 years ago with Nikon D700 or the D300 and the images look much better in B&W.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
