![]() People use Pdn in many different ways and what is useful for one user may never be used by another. The question is which plugins are most useful for YOU. Pixey- Thanks for fixing the links, I will definitely give them a try! ![]() Just be careful you only get your plugins from 's forums, downloading anywhere else will get you viruses.īut thank-you! It's very helpful, many of those plug-ins sound like they would be very helpful! Thankfully these are small fast downloads! Or you can do an internet search of " -insert plugin name- Plugin", for example " Alpha Mask Plugin". Just be careful you only get your plugins from 's forums, downloading anywhere else will get you viruses. To match those effects there is the Dents 'Classic' plugin, and some plugins are similar to 's clouds, such as TR's Plasmatics and TR's Cloud Control.Īssuming I have all of my plugin names correct, you should be able to find all of the above in the Plugin Index. You won't believe how much I use clouds and how much I love dents. ![]() Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Sepia, Levels, Invert Colors, Dents, Clouds, Tile Reflection, Emboss (the built in one), Sharpen, and most blurs. There are also a few favorite built-in adjustments and Effects that I use a lot, which aren't plugins, as they come with, but I'll share those too. I haven't used Clipwarp as much I used to, but it's still a plugin I really like. Gradient Mapping, Multi Color Gradient, Gradients Galore, and BoltBait's Gradient plugin, as well as Gradient Bars. I use Cyanotype to make something that's gray (or black) into a color, and then I can change the color to anything I want using Hue/Saturation.Ĭolor Tint and Color Filter are more coloring plugins that I like to use.Īnd as of lately I have used the Jitter plugin quite a bit, but warring, some settings make it crash.Īnd I use most gradient plugins. In my opinion Bevel Selection and Outline Selection are two of the best selection effect plugins available.īevel Objects gives unique bevels to objects. Trail is a cool plugin, it can be used to give depth to things.Ĭurly Lines is about as close as you're going to get for making vector lines in, and I love vector lines. TwistZ with Zoom (aka Twist +) is what I use when I want more adjustments or a stronger twist than 's Twist effect gives. It's good with the use of layers and creativity. I use Engrave/Emobss to add texture to things, bevel things, or to engrave things. Random Shape Fill is a nice plugin for making bokeh effects or to render a shape that might not have. Shape 3D, I like the look of shiny 3D things, and that's exactly what this plugin renders. I like the Smudge plugin, but I honestly favor the Liquify plugin these days.įur Blur is a funny plugin to play with, but it can also be used to make really neat stuff (See the seascape tutorial as an example). Waves is a great distort effect that can give a pretty good variety of various waves vs other ways to make things wavy. I love Alpha Mask, I can't give a brief reason on why I love it, but I really wish there were more explanations on using it, as I feel many people are missing out not knowing this plugin. Grim Color Reaper and Cut Color are great for removing simple colored backgrounds. Surprisingly both ways give different results depending on what I want to give a drop shadow to. There are two ways I give things a drop shadow, either manually by making a solid black duplicate of my object, gaussian blurring the black object, and then moving the black object with my keyboard's arrow keys, or I use the Drop Shadow plugin. I use Outline Object, to again, do what it implies. Object Align and Align Object are pretty self explanatory, I like both but I use Object Align more. I use both Feather s (mostly New though) and AA's Assistant to smooth edges. I, as usual, like a lot of plugins, and here they are : (If it interests you, here is an old thread of someone who asked before. It's fun to see and know the plugins others are currently favoring and then explore the ones I might not have yet or haven't given much attention to. Or which plug-ins do you use the most?Īlthough this question was asked a while back, I love seeing it refreshed since different people might answer and some answers might change.
