Why not just downloading the free NIK Software effects and adding it to your LightRoom app?
Just go here and enter your email address. In a day or two DXO sends you an email with the download link, which is free of charge for the time being.
This is what you get with the NIK plugins package:
-Analog Efex Pro (to create analog version of your photos)
-Silver Efex Pro (to create different versions of B&W effects)
-Color Efex (to enhance or modify all your images: landscapes, portraits, night shots, long exposure, anything imaginable). Used by pro photographers for years and years.
-HDR Effex Pro
-Sharpener Pro (allows you to sharpen a single point in your photo, or the whole photo)
-Vivesa (you can use to increase brightness in a small area, or the entire photo, and the same for saturation, structure, and on, and on)
-Ffine (perhaps the easies to use digital noise remover there is)
That aside, you won't get very far with your digital images unless you edit them at least a little. Some light editing is not difficult to do, and much easier than to develop film and then print your photos.
