Best Photoshop CS2 Plug-ins?

Thanks Mathiau - when I changed the picture (CRD) to 8 bit Opikvervelabs became active.

i had run into the same issue

A new freeware must-have for me, though sadly Windows only - the masking plug-in GrowCut.

See here for more details.

Thanks DavidW - that looks awesome - I watched the video, and have now downloaded it - will give it a shot later.

BTW...this plug-in rocks...thanks for the heads-up.

was looking for this, so a bump!

Here are the ones that I use and where necessary have bought. Some of them have been mentioned above but I have them in another post and it was just as easy to copy them all. Some of them are standalone's so they really don't count as plugin's perse.

Digital Film Tools plugins 55mm and Digital Film Lab2
ActionDex This is a small standalone application that helps manage photoshop actions. If you have lots of actions, give this a look.
Breeze Systems products Breezebrowser Pro, Downloader Pro and DSLR Remote Pro
DxO Lens distortion correction
Neat Image Pro+ Noise Management Software
Nik Color Effex ProPhotoshop filters....lots of them
On One Software This comes with the products Intellihance, MaskPro, Genuine Fractals and PhotoFrame Pro. I could have lived without the framing tool but it came with the suite.
Phase One C1 ProThis is my preferred RAW Converter.
Photomatix Pro
ProShow Producer Image to video production software
Raw Shooter PremiumThis is a decent RAW converter but is now owned by Adobe and no longer on sale but previous releases are still being supported.
Total CommanderIf you like a double paned file manager, you’ll love this one. It has a plethora of other functions and I use it for batch file renaming a lot.

thanks for more ssim, the more the merrier, cant wait to get my CC sorted out with my bank

great idea to get this thread going again mathiau!

I'll add to the list that I really enjoy the fredmiranda velvia vision plugin

MemoriesOnTV so much better than ProShow Producer, especially when with the MPeg Plugin. Did I mention cheaper and no dongle??

Proxel's "The Lens Corrector". It is similar to PTLens, if you know what that is. There is also a Lens profile creator that is stand alone. It might be something you need, or you might just like to have a look see. Here is a blurb from their page:

With this tool you can improve the pictures from any digital camera or camera/lens combination you own. Removing distortion and converting fish eye pictures into rectilinear pictures, with a quality of much more expensive lenses. The main advantages are:

* No loss of quality due to rescaling – the canvas size is changed instead.
* You can correct any camera/lens you own – no restrictions.
* The correction is based upon measurements – no imprecise manual tweaking.
* You can correct distorted fish eye lenses – resulting in outstanding results.

The advantage of this over PTLens is that this will increase the canvas size accordingly, and crop the image (PTLens won't do either). Also, with the included program, you can set your own profiles for your lenses. PTLens has some default profiles, but not for all lenses, and all lenses are not the same.
