Many filters and plugins work with more than one graphics software program, often working with Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, and possibly other graphics programs. Be sure to check each company's information to be certain that your graphics software program and version is compatible. In addition, some of the filters and plugins are also available as standalone products.
Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro Filters, Plugins, and Standalone Software Programs
All of the plugins and filters listed in this section are designed to work with Adobe Photoshop. Some also work with other graphics software, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro. Be sure to check the product information for software versions and compatibility.
Why use plugins? In a nutshell, plugins can dramatically speed up the process of fixing photos and images, adding textures or special effects, and much more, whether or not you could do them yourself without a plugin. Many plugins also include features to tweak the plugin settings to your liking, and some allow you to save your settings as presets to reuse, too. Plugins can also do things with the click of a button that perhaps you don't know how to do yourself or don't have time to learn how to do yourself. They can be handy, convenient, give high quality results, and be incredibly time-saving.
Are plugins worth purchasing? While some of Websitetips.com's plugin listings are for free plugins, all or nearly all of the commercial plugin makers provide free trial downloads that include full features or partial functionality for a limited time. Then you can determine for yourself if a particular plugin is worth purchasing for your particular needs. WebsiteTips.com is also selective in all of our listings - we're after quality, not quantity in our listings here. Websitetips.com also welcomes feedback and recommendations.
