Review
Recommended 3rd Party Plug Ins:
See some reviewed
3rd-Party Plug-Ins. You install these filters into the Plug-Ins folder in Photoshop and then they are available from the filter menu. These filters can do some amazing things. Some create wild and crazy effects while others are improvements on functionality that’s already in Photoshop. Here is a small sampling…
AlienSkin
Makers of Black box which was one of the first Photoshop Plug-Ins. Alienskin make the popular Xenofex and other special effect plug-ins. They also make some useful tools for production and photography including a Film Grain faker for digital Photographs (Exposure).
HDR Soft
Makers of Photomatix for HDR - use Code photoshopcafe to save 15%
NIK Software
Makers of fine quality Filters for Photographers.
Andromeda Software
Especially well know for halftone filters including the cutline filter. Similar effects to what you in the Wall Street Journal.
AutoFX
Auto Fx makes some really good special effects in the DreamSuite series. They also have the Mystical Lighting and Mystical tint filters that add atmosphere to images.
Corel
Keepers of the Kais Power Tools. Originally developed by Kai Kruise of Meta Creations, credited as the first maker of Photoshop Plug-Ins. KPT still has a cult following.
