Yes
As in the title really. I've read some reviews and it seems to be very reasonable and much cheaper than Silver Efex Pro. I also can't seem to find out if it works with Elements 9, any ideas if it does?

Cheers

I haven't got elements but it seems to work ok with CS5, it seems more basic that silver effects, but some of the presets seem to work quite nicely out of the box, and the local ajustment seem more intuitave that SE.
 
Thanks Wayne. Just had a look at the tutorial and it looks pretty impressive and at $30 seems a bit of a bargain.

Hi Andy,

I wrote a review of it actually: here. Mainly as a comparison to Silver Efex Pro.

The short version though is give it a free download and see how you get on.

Interesting review, I had a play with it in Elements and wasn't very impressed, looks like there is more in PS to excite.

The host program shouldn't make any difference with a plug-in, the features shpild be the same.
 
Just downloaded it and had a quick play. Looks pretty good so far.
