I install them and then have a good look at the way they change settings, use curves and things. Having said this I really don't count myself as an expert and have seen some beautiful edits from silver efex and the like.

(After all, Photoshop can do anything if you just know how...)<br /><br />Oh, and Fyse is me, btw! (Now changed my old Blogger display name to something more sensible.)<br /><br />Anyway, nice shots! I feel like I recognise the place in that first and last shot.

The images are made black and white from raw files in lightroom and then tweaked in photoshop to give extra contrast using curves, but to keep detail I apply many curve layers with their own masks to control specific areas of the image. I hope you find that useful.
