Google + Adobe = photographic coolness; seems rather up my alley, eh? Via PetaPixel:
The tutorial will show you how to take a RAW file, prep it in Lightroom, convert it to black and white in Silver Efex Pro 2, and then finish it up back in Lightroom. And although it’s meant specifically for images shot with the Fuji X-T1, it’ll give anybody who wants that grainy, filmic black and white look — which is particularly well suited for street photography — a great place to start.
If this is up your alley, check out more tutorials on the Google Help Center.

It’s a shame this guy’s bush, bash, bosh, one size fits all approach doesn’t really show off the power and capabilities of Silver Efex Pro 2.
Not a fan – neither of the heavy contrast or grain added.
