Photoshop & Lightroom Plug Ins you couldn't be without

In order of most used..

Alien Skin Exposure 3
Portraiture 2
Topaz DeNoise 5
Topaz ReMask 3
Genuine Fractals 6

I've been intruiged by NIK Silver Efex 2, but don't see how it could be THAT much better than the B/W conversion options with the Alien Skin product. Anyone who has Silver Efex pro up for a comparison thread? I can do conversions with the Alien Skin and we can compare.

I have the Topaz suite and am finding myself using them and learning more about them all the time.

same here! i love the Topaz DeNoise.

NIK, period. I've bought a few others but NIK plug-ins accomplish what I need and are so intuitive.

Another plug for NIK software. I could live without them, but it wouldn't be near as much fun!

I also have most of the Topaz plugins. Those are easily overdone, but if you tweak them and play with them, they can do some interesting things.

I use a few Jeffrey’s Lightroom Goodies, such as the jfFlickr export plugin. And of course LR/Enfuse.

PSCS4: Dr Browns 1-2-3-process, a few sharpening / effect panels by the Light's Right and GuideGuide

None of them essential (except sometimes maybe enfuse), but all make work easier.

I use these with PS4
Noiseware pro

Portraiture

Topaz Adjust 4 and Detail

Power Retouche Pro

If i had to drop one I suppose it would be Topaz detail.... would hate to go without the others

NIK Software & Fred Miranda Velvia Vision!!
