Recommend good filters / Plug-ins?

[Aaron_R...@adobeforums.com]

I am looking to build a good collection of Photoshop Plug-ins. Particularly image manipulation ones. I already have the Alien Skin suite and the three from Berg Design (peel off white, grey to white and grey to black). I am looking for high end professional ones. No amateur looking ripple effect or lame edge treatments.

Anyone have any gems out there?

Are you looking for ambiguous answers to an ambiguous question or do you have some specific task or effect in mind?

Here's one to start with:

Try the fully functional demo for 30 days. Does some pretty amazing stuff that goes beyond what Layer Styles can accomplish easily.

Aaron,

Although you don't say what you want to do, take a look at OnOne Software's products. <http://www.ononesoftware.com/products.php>

And Tiffen (the filters and Steadicam folks) for their Dfx Suite v2 <http://www.tiffen.com/dfx_v2_home.html>

These are all very good products.

No specific task. I do high end photo finishing, compositing and manipulation in the entertainment key art industry. So just looking for programs to ease some effects. Give me a decent base to build from. Nothing out there produces anything that is ready to go. But Alien Skin for example, can produce decent effects that can be further customized and painted on to get photorealistic results.
So looking for more stuff like that. Or stuff that can improve my process.

AV Bros Page Curl Pro. It isn't your old KPT page curl but rather a bend/fold 3D environment.
