The install was extremely easy and it recognised that I had both Lightroom and Photoshop already, so it offered to install as a plugin in both. This software alone might be a good enough reason to consider Mac, if there weren’t multiple reasons already….! It’s worth noting the Macphun only make software for the Mac, so this won’t be of much use if you use Windows. The first thing to do was install the software. So just to be clear, this isn’t a test of all the B&W conversion software options out there (and there are many of them), but rather a test of Tonality Pro in it’s own right, which was released to the market in August 2014. So with this approach in mind, I was interested to hear about Tonality Pro, Macphun’s own software program for black and white conversion. While I wasn’t looking for a new software product, neither am I averse to trying something different, if for no other reason to convince myself that what I have works just fine, thank you very much! If I weren’t open minded, then I would still be using my DSLR and wouldn’t have discovered the wonderful Fuji X series! Now, I must confess to not having heard of Macphun previously, maybe because I was happy with what I was using and therefore never looked for any alternatives. So, all was well with the world when I received an invitation from Macphun software to try out some of their programs. Then, about four years ago, I was persuaded to purchase Nik’s Silver Efex Pro for my black and white conversions and since then I’ve been using this as a plugin for both Lightroom and Photoshop, with excellent results. And so it was with my post production software, where I have used Photoshop and Lightroom for many years and have got to know them really well.
I’m a great believer that when you have something that works, and works well, then don’t change it.
