Silver Efex - Opinions

[F8&Bthere]

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION-
As far as I can tell the Complete Collection deal I mentioned above only applies to the Lightroom/Aperture versions of the plugins. To be able to use the same plugins with Photoshop you need to get the Ultimate Edition which is $599.99 before any promos, discounts or coupons.

This kind of sucks, because Topaz lets you use their much more moderately priced plugins with many popular programs without having to buy a different version or upgrade.

Using the plugins right within LR is pretty nice, as I mentioned, but I would also like the option of bringing the image into PS to use layers and such to adjust the plugin's effects, use multiple plugin effects, or to do further editing before saving.
