Freeware Plugins

We have a selection of Photoshop-compatible plugins available for download. These are all freeware, and were built using Filtermeister, with Paint Shop Pro 8.10 as the host program - they should work without problems with any Windows graphics program that supports the Adobe Photoshop plugin architecture. Please read the notes included in the download files for terms and conditions of use and redistribution.

Please note: These plugins are available for Windows only.

Note

The links below will take you to the documentation for each plugin - to download the plugin sets, go to the 'Downloads' page. For each plugin below, click for an overview of what the plugin can do, and some suggestions for use where appropriate; all of the procedures described relate to Paint Shop Pro, of course, but should translate easily to other packages. Now, read on... then, rush on over to the Downloads page, grab the filters, and get creative!
