  |  List of plugins, filters, brushes actions and gradiants First, I found this off of another website. So, I take no credit for finding any of these. Most of the links DO work. If you run into any problems just post it, and I'll fix the link. Hope you guys enjoy the list, and have fun with photoshop =) Thanks to Banishing Blade for pinning the thread too. So, without further ado, here's the list :) PhotoShop Plugins, Filters, Brushes, Actions & Gradients It's amazing as to the amount of time and effort that people put into making plug-ins, filters, actions, brushes and such and then make them available to whomever wants them at no cost. All of the following are the "best of the best" and each one has received the highest rating from Adobe, and they are all free. I do not think that there are many items out there, that you have to pay for, that are better than the following... AlphaWorks A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for quickly removing black or white values and making the region transparent. There are 6 different options for you to choose from, depending on the type of image you are working on (colour photo, mono photo, lineart). It requires the use of "layers" so remember the effect must be applied to an image that is on a layer above the background in order for it to work. Download (136.7kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/alphaworks.htm ColourWorks A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for modifying image colour values in various ways. You can use them for subtle correction of your digital photos and CG graphics, or experiment with the more dramatic transformations that are available. Although quite basic these filters can be handy for use on a regular basis. Download (163.6kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/colourworks.htm EdgeWorks A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for creating dramatic edge and colour modifications. They are best used when experimenting with intense photo transformations for a highly stylized look. They are also handy when creating texture effects. Download (165.1kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/edgeworks.htm ScreenWorks A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 30 individual filters for creating various screen/mesh patterns. It provides you with a quick way to add small detailed and repetitive texture overlay effects to areas of your image in one easy step. The single slider setting gives you the option to add the chosen pattern on top of your image, or make the layer background white. Download (150.7kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/screenworks.htm EmbossWorks A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for producing various quick and easy embossing styles. Download (225.4kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/embossworks.htm SwapShop A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 15 effects for switching the colour values in your images. Useful for experimenting with interesting combinations and creating surreal results. Download (148.1kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/swapshop.htm MasterBlaster A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for "blasting" intense colour into your images. Ideal for when you need to add dramatic impact to your photos or artwork. Download (155.4kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/masterblaster.htm Mezzy A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 15 effects for creating a selection of grain and mezzo styles. Download (155.9kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/mezzy.htm Hi-Spot Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for high-contrast B&W effects. It will not just convert your images into the standard shades of grey, it will automatically higher the contrast and produce a more dramatic sense of lighting in your scene. Much like the old photos you may have seen in your family albums. A bonus features for darkroom enthusiasts is the ability to lightly tone your B&W print at the same time. Give your photos that ancient sepia look or mix the colour settings to produce your desired monochrome tint. Download (148.5kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/hispot.htm G-Force Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for B&W grain effects. It produces results similar to using traditional "fast" B&W camera film, allowing more control than the standard "noise" filters included with most image-editors. Give your photos back some of that artistic texture which seems to be sadly missing these days! Ideal for both landscape scenes or portraits. For best results use with high-resolution images of at least 2 megapixels. Download (148.9kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/GForce.htm Techni-X Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for very high contrast effects. It bleaches out most of the mid-tone greys, leaving crisp dark blacks and bright clean whites. It will produce clear B&W images with limited tones, which are suitable for cheap reproduction via the office photocopier or when published in newsprint, as these methods normally loose image definition when trying to reproduce standard colour photographs. Although mainly designed for this "technical" purpose, you can also have fun by adding strong colour-casts within the plug-in! Download (147.7kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/technix.htm NightScope Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for adding a basic "night-vision" effect to your digital photographs and/or 2D and 3D computer-generated images. It first removes all colour from the picture and gives a very slight blur to indicate the film is trying hard to focus in a low-light situation. Then you can choose to add grain either keeping it B&W or mixing separate red, green and blue channels to vary the effect. You can also produce a strong overall colour cast using the RGB sliders provided. Works best with dark night-time photographs that have minimal areas of bright background elements in the scene. Download (179.2kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/NightScope.htm Pseudo-IR Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for creating a similar look when using traditional B&W infra-red film. It is not an exact match but will provide you with a quick and easy way to re-create the effect digitally using your standard colour photographs. The RGB sliders will also allow you to tint the overall image if you wish. For best results use this filter on landscape scenes. It is also quite effective on certain architectural elements too. Not really suitable for portrait subjects though. Download (178.0kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/PseudoIR.htm SkyGrad Digital Lens FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for tinting the sky area of your photographs. Ideal if you need to change the "mood" of your scene, brighten-up a dull day or make a darker overcast sky for dramatic effect. The filter will overlay a coloured gradient from the top of your image fading to transparent at the bottom. You can specify the colour of the tint via three RGB sliders plus you can adjust the brightness with the exposure setting. Download (147.7kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/SkyGrad.htm BW-Plus Digital Lens FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for quickly turning your colour images into greyscale, but with the added option of using a coloured optical lens filter as you would in traditional B&W photography. The different colours will change the tonal range during the greyscale conversion : for example, a red filter will lighten the red, magenta and yellow areas plus darken the green, blue and cyan in the photo. There are 6 preset effects to choose from using a simple. Download (138.1kb): http://www.cybia.co.uk/BW-Plus.htm FastFix Darkroom Correction Tool : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter to help you quickly access the most common image-enhancement controls though one easy-to-use dialog. You can modify the brightness, contrast, saturation, red/cyan, green/magenta and blue/yellow balance settings all at the same time.

Enjoy. http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...Eyeball_v2.atn Soft Edge Fade Out This is a great tool to softly fade out or blur away the surrounding unwanted area of an image selection. I find it is useful when you do not want to just crop the image. The advantages here are that your image remains the same size, the fade is graduated, and the selection pulls itself to the foreground. This action is also great for creating a romantic/dreamy feel to images. First, Open your Image. Second, Select the area of the image that you want to preserve, using any of the lasso or marquee selection tool options. http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...e_Fade_Out.atn 3d Balloon This is what has been Featured on the Cingular Wireless Commercials.

It allows for the user to select his/her own colors and also goes further with a rad space type melting effect. But that's not all. It also does a text effect. Truly something that must be seen to believe. Note this is still being worked on. http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...483/Test_2.atn Faded Rainbow Frame This action creates a faded rainbow frame for your image. Note - this action creates the frame inside the border of the canvas, so if your image goes to the edges part of it will be obscured. [I'm still working on a version that will make the frame around the image. Will post it when I do. The effect fades nicely into the centre. http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...ed_Rainbow.atn Felt-tip pen It's felt-tip pen action with felt-tip pen's cap add-on.

They scale/filter the image, giving quite similar results to anti-aliasing. Great for 3D previews! You can apply it as a batch to a folder of images. How it works? It's simple. It first upscales the image, then applies median filtering to it, and then downscales it again. The difference between faster and better is that faster upscales to 200%, and better to 400%. That's it in all it's http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot/209/1495/AA.atn DiscoBall Got stuck watching Saturday Night Fever. Came up with this.

Come to my new site http://www.photopia.co.uk for more actions and photoshop stuff! no extra plug-ins required! http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...%20Planets.atn Soft Faded Edge I don't create many actions, but I've had to repeat this procedure so many times that I finally took time to make an action out of it. Many people have posted actions that help give a soft or faded edge to a picture or selection. Most of them look very good on screen, but have a dirty smeared look when printed. (Even the best printers have problems with soft gradients fading to white) This action gives a soft edge that looks good both on screen and it print. It lets you choose any selection you wish to use for the edge. When it's finished, the edge fades to transparency so that you can then drop it onto any background you wish. Instructions: Take the layer you're going to use and duplicate to new. Make sure the layer is centered on the new canvas with the canvas at least 70 pixels larger in width and height than the selection will be. Name the layer "Layer 1" Make sure you're in RGB mode. HAVE NOTHING SELECTED. Run the action. *Note* this will not work well on selection much smaller than 150 pixels in width or height. Feel free to mess with the settings. ;o) http://share.studio.adobe.com/fsroot...oft%20Edge.atn Ray's Super Glass Bubbles Makes text and white circles/ovals into bubbles of glass. There are lighting effects and reflection/refraction shadows. This version doesn't include the text glass effect, and in order for it to work on text, you must run it seperately for bubbles and again for text.

Images will be resized to fit within 649x433 (outer safe margin area) on a 720x480, 72 dpi canvas, with .9 pixel aspect ratio set on a black background. Images processed in this way can be significantly less system intensive for usage with video editing, as they shouldn't need to be resized by the editing application. Images processed this way should give the best possible fit when viewed on a TV. Additionally this action can be used as a quick way to convert an image for usage as a menu in Adobe Encore.

So I have to split the containt into parts... Normaly I do this with Illustrator: Placing it there to have parts printed. But what do you do, if Illustrator doesn't come in handy?

Xfiles-like lighting through text. http://www.fontgod.com/actionaddicti...ons/xlight.zip ====================== Kit1: This download includes the following actionsDrop Shadow This is your standard effect for adding that bit of 3-D to an image. Unlike the one that comes with Photoshop, this action can work on individual layers and does not require a selection. The softness and offset of the shadow are adjustable. Glow Similar to Drop Shadow, but more appropriate for images on a black background. The size and softness of the glow are adjustable. Soft Emboss Gives a nicer effect than the standard Photoshop Emboss filter (for one thing it keeps the colours of the original image!). The size and softness of the emboss effect are adjustable. Smoke Creates a cloud of wispy smoke or steam rising from the current layer. Great for those "Hot" banners! Raise Effectively "raises" the current layer above the background. Works in a similar way to Drop Shadow, but the white highlight helps to bring the layer out from the background. Electrify Produces a striking effect on the current layer. A series of blue and white sparks appear to flow around the objects in the image, giving them an electric halo. Starfield For that sci-fi page, you can't beat a load of stars in the background! This action generates a new layer filled with random stars. Nebulae More spacey stuff with Nebulae. Why bother downloading Hubble telescope images when you can generate your own nebulae - and only a trained astronomer will notice the difference! Hellfire Summon the Dark One himself with this somewhat disturbing effect. Generates a new image based on the current one, but transformed into a flaming inferno. Waterfall Generates a waterfall effect on a new layer, with the dimensions of the current image. Different each time. Download: http://www.elated.com/actionkits/actionkit1.zip ============= Kit2 consists of the following actions:TV Takes your image and makes it look like it's on a TV screen - bleeding colours and interlace lines included. Cool. Snow Under Creates the effect of the current layer sitting on a bed of snow by filling the shadows. Works best on overhead photos. Snow Top Adds snow to the "top" (i.e. highlights) of the current layer, as if it's freshly landed there. Silk The effect is of a sheet of purple silk hugging the current layer. Orange Peel Gives the impression that the current layer is made from dimpled orange peel! Glass Bubble Makes a new layer with the effect of the current layer viewed through deformed glass (like you get in front doors). Tunnel Vision Who needs drugs when you have these Actions! Your PSD appears in the centre of a new image, with zoomed blurs all around it... groovy. Spiral Vision Even more screwed up than Tunnel Vision. Same idea, but this time the blurs are twisted round through 90 degrees for total disorientation! Greeeaaat! Marble For when you need that distinguished effect, here's a marble slab generator! Makes a new layer filled with a green and white marble effect. Clouds Not to be confused with the Clouds filter. This version produces clouds which actually look like real clouds! Download: http://www.elated.com/actionkits/actionkit2.zip ======= Kit3 consists of the following actions: Rain Turn that photo from a sunny family holiday into a downpour with this effect! Motion-blurred raindrops are added on top of the image. Fog Adds a diffused layer of fog or mist to the current image, partially obscuring the current layer. Underwater Turns your image into an undersea wreck within seconds! Copies, tints and ripples the current layer. Magical Aura A somewhat abstract effect, this one. The edges in the image are enhanced by whacking up the saturation value, giving a colour-rich aura. Robot Vision Give yourself Terminator-o-vision with this action, which takes your current layer and makes it look like it's being viewed through the eyes of a robot! Electron Microscope Why spend tens of thousands on an electron microscope, when you can knock up a blurry image of a few "atoms" with this Action? Parchment For that olde-worlde effect, look no further than Parchment. Creates a "sheet" of sepia parchment with your current layer "drawn" onto it. Motion Streaks Left Zap your image across the screen with these two actions, Motion Streaks Left & Right. Similar to the Motion Blur filter, but blurs only the high-contrast areas of the image, giving a cartoon-like streaky effect. Motion Streaks Right Similar to Motion Streaks Left, but... oh, you can work it out! Frosty Lining A chilly effect, this one. You pick out a contour from your image, and it adds a layer of frost to it. Can be very effective on nature photos. Download: http://www.elated.com/actionkits/actionkit3.zip ========== Kit4 consists of the following actions: Inlaid Border Creates a nice, soft border effect around the current layer. Chilled out. Works well on text. Metal Border Renders a rough metal strip around the edges of the currently selected layer. Can be used to border text or for other, more weird effects! Pool Tiles Turn your image into a pool-side mosaic with this odd effect! Works best on high-contrast images. Steely Glint Nice for adding that extra punch, and a bit of strangeness, to photos. Use it on industrial equipment, knights in shining armour or a picture of your granny! Metal Stamp A definite one for text or curvy layers. The current layer is "stamped" onto a new layer using a "burnished metal" effect. Cracks How many times have you looked at a layer and thought, "It would look so much better if it was made out of cracked stone!" Never? Oh well. Enjoy it anyway! Liquid Metal This works well on text and any irregularly-shaped layer. Makes a new layer based on the current one made from molten, flowing metal. Extruder Now you too can create that horrendous mock-3D font so often used by plumbers and builders! If you want. Also quite fun on simple geometric shapes. Explosion "She cannae take any more, captain!" Make your own Enterprise explosion, or blow up the Death Star as often as you like, with this glorious effect. Concrete How many times have you looked at a layer and thought, "It would look so much better if it was made out of concrete!" Never? What about cracked stone? Damn! Download: http://www.elated.com/actionkits/actionkit4.zip ======= Kit5 consists of the following actions: Asylum Text Takes a text layer and creates a new, scarier text layer from it, with warped, scratchy black text. Ocean Text Creates a new document and adds some text with a great "choppy sea" effect. You choose the text and the font, the action does the rest! Oil Projector Cool 60's oil projector blob effect! Works well on new documents with a white background, or try it on your favourite photos and graphics! It's semi-transparent so your photo will show through the 'oil' layers. Nice! Flag Make a rippling flag out of almost anything with this great action. Try it on photos, logos, designs, Web site screenshots, and anything else you can think of. Comes complete with flagpole! Glass Swirl A nice swirling effect similar to Glass Bubble in ActionKit 2. Apply it on any photo or other image and it will create a new 500x500-pixel image with the swirling effect applied. Works great for images with lots of strong colours! Burnt Holes Creates a great "burnt through" effect on images, as if the paper has been set alight! Try this striking effect out on photographic images. Great for providing an original look to your Web graphics! Dropout Text Generates fantastic messed-up text. The action prompts you for your text and you can choose the font, size, and colour. It then randomly screws up the text, producing a cool blocky digital drop-out effect. Download: http://www.elated.com/actionkits/actionkit5.zip ======= ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following download consists of these actions: Dr. Storm! Without a doubt, this action is the reason you're at this site. It's AWESOME! What do you have to do? Nothing! Just click play, and Dr. Storm will fix you up right! Wet Paint! Okay, I'm pretty proud of this one, and use it a lot. Plus, it's new and improved! Just run it on its own layer, and splatter! Someone's squirted paint all over your canvas ... A very cool action. And once you run it, simply change the colors of the effect by changing the Hue/Saturation to meet your needs! Bend Me, Baby! Now you too can have Word Art! This handy Action will simplify the task of making simple, bending text. Baseball Cap! Batter up! Embroidered Text, just like the stuff you see on your hat! Throw away your sewing needle! Fun stuff. Shadow Conspiracy! This one's not as exciting as it once was, but it was basically a way to fake shadows with transparent gifs. After running the action, just export through Gif 89a Finish Line! Instantaneous checkerboards! Create anything from checkered flags to chess boards! Make just about anything you want that has checkers. For some reason, I had a bunch of jobs in a row that needed this pattern, so the Action is the result. Warhol's Predator! Turn innocent victims into psychodellic visions of a monster right out of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie! This is good for replicating heat vision or auras or whatever. Kinda fun. Santa's Workshop! This Action utilizes the foreground and background colors to create fun, safe-looking text effects. Also, try it on simple icons. Disco Funk! Dig up those old bellbottoms and rock ruff and tuff with your afro-puffs! It's time to get a little funky and this is just the action to do it. So get down with your bad self. Spin Doctor! So, I needed to create a spinning GIF animation. And here's the result. Basically, you design one frame, then this action does the rest. It spins it into a full 12 frame animation, with seperate layers. Then all you have to do is save each frame to its own file, and arrange them in a Gif animation program! A real timesaver, with quick and easy results. Tile Viewer! So, back in the day, EVERYBODY had a patterned background for their website, and often times they looked crappy. I made this to take the guesswork away. It'll tile it in a bigger document, and you can see how crappy the background will be INSTANTLY. Um, then make improvements, I guess. Bad Trip! Whoah ... The colors, man, dig those crazy colors. Bad Trip ... The title says it all. Tilt & Zoom! Finally, instant cool backdrops with the click of a button. Tilt & Zoom takes your existing image beyond the limits by flipping it into infinity. Pretty sweet.
