I absolutely love your presets

I absolutely love your presets. I'm an enthusiast/hobbyist and use Capture One (as I'm a fuji shooter). I'm tired of spending hours with plug-ins like the Nik collection, etc, and your tools have helped me avoid that 95% of the time and stay within C1.

Every deatil with most powerful B&W system

Silver goes back over a decade to when there were very few black and white conversion tools. It's built on the idea of clean, pure black and white that feels like it belongs in a gallery. The details of how the channel and tones mix are infinite. Black and white have to balance everything in monochrome. So for 15 years, I've dedicated myself to refining how to create black and white on digital files. 

Silver 6 lets you create authentic black and white blends that naturally use all the tools in apps like Lightroom and Capture One. And Silver 6 lets you seek out and remix the way you present your black and white in a way that lets you find any visualization you're looking for. 

Each preset leverages curves and tones, and channels in endless ways. Create classic darkroom-inspired edits, or use fast one-click conversion. Mix in AI and layer mods using ModKit 3 without breaking the flow. It's never a generic look. 

Plus, Silver 6 does this while maintaining legacy compatibility with older versions like Lightroom 6 and even works in Photoshop via Camera Raw. 

 

Perfect balance is what Silver 6 makes simple.

It does not matter if you shoot weddings, streets, or landscapes. Silver 6 lets you find what you visualized in cameras quickly and with maximum quality. In a world of so many plugins and options, it's easy to get up and lose control. Silver 6 leverages the software we already have by creating perfect tonal blends and black and white mixes, simple and fast. 

In silver 6 it's not about more, it's about better. Years of black and white shooting and development, combined with the latest features of Lightroom and Capture, create a completely unique black and white system that can be used perfectly in batches on individual fine art creation. 

 

Mod-Kit 3 - The stack

I've spent many years not just refining Silver recipes but refining the process of how we work in these apps. Silver lets you focus on complete black and white with no distractions. Turn effects up or down, try presets, and quickly get to the black and white you saw in the camera.

But the combinations are infinite with Mod Kit 3. Apply a black and white conversion, then easily stack on masks, details, and tools fast with a click on any mod jkit presets. It's a true synergy between these two, giving you the exact control you want, but fast and simple. 

 

Advanced recipes and mods 
Silver 6 gives you better, faster black and white than plugins. Using the native tools of your app, with recipes that can be instantly adjusted for you.

Inspired Shadows: From darkroom-inspired roll off to rich Shadow. Silver 6 knows what most BW tools don't. That contrast and shadow create beauty in B&W. Silver 6 does it perfectly.

Created by a Master Photographer:  I'm Gavin, a PPA Master photographer with 25 years of experience. For over a decade, I've poured my passion for B&W into Silver presets. 

         

I'm Gavin Seim. I'm a Shadow Hunter

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
