For the graphic artists in the house... (Kurzweil help!)

I recently got Adobe Photoshop 7, and I'm wondering what you all think are the essential plugins for Photoshop... I know enough in Photoshop to be dangerous, so if they're easy to use, that's a plus.

Thanks in advance.

Kai's Power Tools is spiffy, too.

Might look for downloadable "actions" for PS7 instead of plugins.. they're all the rage.

Kai's Power Tools 3, 5, and 6 (from MetaCreations before they went under)
KPT effects (the newest version from Corel)
Eye Candy 3.0 & 4000, must have
Xenofex is cool too.

Lens flare adds pizzazz to any picture.

I

Lens flare

It is a quick way to impress executives

Forgot about Kai's Power tools. I thought they went out of business a ways back though. If I am remembering correctly, they were a Santa Barbara/Montecito based company and got knocked around in the late 90's.

I have every filter/action/plug-in evar made for Photoshop.....

Anything with KAI in it owns, Xenofex, and a little known filter called BladePro or anything at http://www.flamingpear.com

Also, Plug-In Commander is a nice thing if you go overboard, loading all those filters will bog your Photoshop. P.S. The Healing Brush > ALL.

This site comes recommended from a friend of mine. I can't vouch for it.

The KPT plug-ins are owned by Corel - KPT product page. Corel also bought Bryce and Painter, among other packages.

MetaCreations was based in Carpinteria, but the Execs liked to print Santa Barbara on the letterhead.

After 3 years, I (along with about a hundred co-workers) got laid off in 1999 when the board decided to close the Carp site down to pump all of the money and resources into the Viewpoint venture. The Viewpoint venture is being handled by equally (in)effective management.

KPT 3, (4), 5, 6.

You can probably skip 4, since I think all it did was give you a bunch of action scripts.

But then, I'm slightly biased as a exMeta.

Eye Candy has some nice stuff, too.
