Blending modes / options
The plugins all include 100 output settings such as invert the image, apply only to the red channel, wrap the color, limit the colors to the current foreground and background color range, set to difference, darken only, different darken effects, tiling, frames, zapped color effect and more. Blending modes are like additional filters added to the plugin effect, adding millions and millions of new creative effects to any plugin
Post processing settings
All the plugins include 18 post processing settings such as applying a randomized gradient or gradient blend to the end result of the filter effect. The randomized gradient effects and blends can add subtle color changes to any image or text or layer. The gradient color effect combinations can range to millions and millions of unique color effects and overlays such as radial or diamond or quadrant gradient effects. Alone, the post processing effects are a truly powerful addition to any plugin effects collection.
Photoshop actions
The plug-in effects can be saved as an action so you can use the actions in batch processing / scripting etc. Combine many of the effects, combine the Andrew's Plugins with native Photoshop effects and save as an action. Re-use the action in future image processing
Effects modes
The plug-ins all include 20 effects modes. Instead of the end result of the plugin being used in the final output, the filter effect is generated as a blur or smear or paint effect or grain effect based on the strength of the filter effect. Use the effects modes to apply totally weird and wonderful unique warping and paint and blur effects to any image.
Color settings
The plugin gives you powerful color options to modify the color of each channel individually. If you want the end result of the effect to be redder or greener, simply move the color sliders. The color sliders can also be randomized, giving you millions of possible color outcomes applied to the image
PaintShop Photo Pro X3 etc
The plug-ins work in many different PC applications such as PaintShop Photo, Paint Shop Pro, Painter, Xara, PhotoImpact and many other applications. Also work on Vista, windows 7 etc Some functionality might be different in each plugin as each application uses different features and color approaches.
Plug-in Tutorials
Tutorial 1]Rotator example
1) Original image
2) Select the rotator plug-in, this plug-in comes with plug-in set 2. Use the default settings
3) Set the blur settings to different values for the red, green and blur channels; this leaves different color rotated images for each channel.
4) Change the rotator key dropdown to 'groovy' setting; instead of a basic rotation, the result is a wavy / 60s groove rotation. The blur channel settings and the variant groovy setting creates an unusual color wave effect on the old Vancouver 1920s train.
The plug-in rotator can be used to just apply a rotation effect. Setting a different output mode such as invert will result in the color of the end result being inverted; many other settings are also available such as color wrap and purple and tile and mirror. The plug-in's rotation effect can also be used as a source 'effect' for unique blurs or smears or paint designs via the effects dropdown. The rotator plug-in is easy to install, simply add the 8BF file to the plug-ins path of the host application. Access the effect via the filters menu
Tutorial 2] Colorop example
1) Default settings, basic black and white check design
2) Reduce the dots setting, the colorop effect is still black and white but there are less black n white 'dots' in the preview display
3) Change the red factor 4, green factor 7, blue factor 2. The dots are modified on a channel by channel basis
4) The dialog is split into basic and advanced settings, go to the advanced settings and change the 'direction' (or apply mode) for the channels for the red and green channel to 'glass'. Blue channel is untouched.
The color op plug-in can be applied to an empty document or an image. By changing the output mode, the colorop effect can be used as a frame or overlay or tiling effect and more. Instead of using the output mode feature, use the fade mode to reduce the application of the effect by 50% or use a different blending mode. The color op plug-in can also be applied to a layer, either empty or filled layer. Set the layer transparency dropdown from 'ignore' to something like 'inverse green' (there are many options) and the effect will modify the alpha channel of the layer. The color op layer can now have a drop shadow or bevel or glow added via layer effects.
