Thank you, Kevin, for your detailed workflow description, very useful and interesting to me, a post-processing novice and, aside from HDR Efex Pro 2, completely unfamiliar with the rest of the Nik package awaiting my click. BTW, I liked the B and W image because it is unusual and "overdone" - to my mind, all B and W photography / conversion can be subject to any amount of localized contrast and exposure manipulation, just as in the darkroom days. That's what makes it fun!
