Photoshop Plug-ins

Tom S. · 02-12-2011, 08:01 AM

Please list your favorite Photoshop plug-ins! When listing, please include

1). Which version of Photoshop the plug-in works with.

2). What the plug-in does.

3). Where the plug-in can be found.

If there's a lot of response, maybe the powers that be will turn this into a sticky and expand it to other software. If not, I guess it can just go into the void.

Noiseninja (noise removal)
Focalblade (sharpening)
Focusmagic (focus blur improvement)
Virtualphotographer from OptikVerve Labs (many excellent digital filters)

For tonemapping and HDR I use a separate program Artizen that also has a number of useful plugin filters for Photoshop.

All the Topaz's (noise, adjust, clean etc...), you can do some very cool effects and cleaning it. I believe it works on all versions. I use it on CS5. Given to me as a gift.

it's funny but after trying plug-ins like noise ninja, I find that the doise reduction and sharpening in PSP work as well as or better than the plug ins.

It is just a matter of spending the time to learn how to use the software.

Actually, I believe some of the plug ins are designed to use PSP in an automated format so the user doesn't have to learn the software, or in some cases, go through as many steps.

Probably true, though for a couple of bucks I can get a ready to use plugins with pretty interfaces that allow me to save a lot of time... worth the cost to me.....
