The Plugin Site Forum

See examples and a screenshot of AKVIS Sketch here.

Go here and look under "Light". You'll see several plug-ins listed that can add lighting effects to images, including The Plugin Site's own LightMachine.

Let me know if that helped!

Plugin Galaxy are Harald's older filters (with the small preview windows, yes?), and AFAIK aren't compatible with CS3. However, his current
PhotoWiz line of products is CS3 ready.

I recommend Alien Skin's SnapArt, and not just for sketching either! See this guy's site for much more detailed Snap Art sketch examples.

See the Sketcher interface and examples here.

Issue #9 is ready! Among other things, see how one of the Featured Aritsts uses PhotoWiz B/W Styler in his work.

I just released issue #9 of my Plugs 'N Pixels ezine, and one full page is devoted to a featured artist who uses B/W Styler.

The offer still stands to publish more PhotoWiz plug-in artistry!

I'm curious to know the specs of her computer, especially how much RAM is installed.

The PS CS3 beta had problems with a flickering/disappearing cursor; I haven't tried the final version yet so I don't know if it's an Adobe thing or a plug-ins thing. As for CS3-compatible plug-ins, I've begun putting a "CS3 ready" button on the relevant plug-in pages on my site (scroll down on this ...

On the Mac I always use Calico. It handles standard horizontal panoramas as well as stacked sets of related images. For Windows you might try PhotoVista. Google can help you find other options.

Photoshop CS3 is supposed to have better stitching tools than CS2; I have not tested it yet.

Image>Image size; input the desired figures as Harald described.

I would recommend BlackMagic for Windows and Coloriage for Windows/Mac.

Harald's B/W Styler may also be of interest.

Also, prep your image--it needs Levels adjustment and perhaps conversion to grayscale to remove the yellow cast.

Hi Chris,

Look through the "Color alteration & effects" section of the creative image effects chart posted here. Surely you'll find something!

BlackLilly, I'm a Mac guy and can only make some guesses since I've never seen this with my copy of DS but: 1) What was the nature of your crash (hardware, software)? 2) Did you start over with a fresh installation of WinXP? I'm assuming you did. If you simply restored from backup, this may be the p...

Thanks Harald!

Anybody? Let's show off what PhotoWiz is all about!

Hi all, As you may know, I publish a page of artwork generated with Photoshop-compatible plug-ins on the last page of my Plugs 'N Pixels ezine (see URL in sig). To date I've created the images myself. Now, I'd like to invite those of you on The Plugin Site forum to submit artwork created with any si...

It's about time for a new ezine! Issue 8 of Plugs 'N Pixels was just released, and is now available for download (it will be emailed directly to subscribers on Monday). Catch up with classic and brand new digital imaging products, including Harald's B/W Styler (recently released for Mac). No registr...

The KPT Collection (see visuals here) is an updated set of the popular Kai plug-ins, offered by Corel. It hasn't been updated lately, but did run natively in Mac OS-X and probably Windows XP upon its release.

There are a couple of free plug-ins listed here.

Mac or PC? On the Mac you can use utilities such as Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive's directory to where it can be accessed properly again. There is also image recovery software such as File Salvage (please Google) that scans even bad drives and recovers all sorts of files, includi...

FWIW, here's an interesting article I just came across today:

Color Management is for Wimps

Take it for what you will!
