It occurred to me that a list of plug ins might be a good idea. Though I know of some, I am sure that I don't know of all the good ones out there, and likewise, you probably don't either. BUT, you might know of one that I don't.
So let's help each other. Lets create a list of plug ins.
I'll start with the ones that I know.
Flaming Pear![]()
Never tried them, but Flood looks interesting. It creates a lake in the foreground with actual reflections of your background. Have a nice landscape of beautiful snow capped mountains, but Highway 210 is in the foreground. Put a lake there instead and reflect those mountains in the water.
Designer Sextet looks interesting too, with some of the wave/ripple/zigzag tools.
Redfield PlugIns![]()
Again, never tired them, but one that I know of. Much more on the creative/graphic design end than the photography end, but nonetheless, the Fractalius filter seems to be able to do some awesome effects. And the Sketch Master really looks cool if quick 'n' easy pencil sketches are your thing.
Tiffen DFX![]()
OK, this one I actually have and use all the time. Current Version is 3.0. Tiffen is most known for glass filters (the kind you screw on to your lens), so much so that their software gets most undeservedly overlooked. In addition to the plain old filter emulations, there are film effects, cross processing, lighting effects, darkroom effects, and so on and so on, with literally thousands of adjustments via sliders. I would call it indispensable. On the website, click the "DFX Filters" tab for samples and take a look.
So, please, add to the list - especially if you use a product, then let us know what you think. But even if it only a product you know about, without hands on experience, post it here anyway, odds are someone will be able to share their experience with it.
Your turn...
