No, I processed the B&W in the Silver Efex Pro that came with the camera.
I boosted the contrast considerably and probably lost the details in the
white hair as a result. I do like contrasty B&W, though. Straight out of
the camera, all tones are included and the result is too flat for me. I'll
work on retaining the highlight details but still increasing the contrast.
Thanks!
