Tutorial: Installation and basic use of Andrew's Plugins volume 4 Blur Plugins in Photoshop CS5 CS4
Tutorial: Installation of the Andrew's Plugins volume 4 Blur Factory plugin set into Photoshop CS4 (though equally this will work in Photoshop CS3 CS2 CS1 7 6 etc) on the PC (windows 7, though equally applicable to windows Vista and XP). The 8BF plug-ins are placed into the plug-ins path of Photoshop and accessed via the filters menu. Also shown is the preferences section for the addition of an additional plug-ins folder (to avoid issues with admin privileges). The video also shows the basic use of some of the settings of one of the plugins (Burnt effect plugin) in Photoshop. © 2010 Andrew Buckle.

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.
Presets
The plugin settings can be saved so if you find a really stunning effect, simply click the SAVE button. The preset file can then be opened in future and the effect re-applied to a different image.
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 modes
The plug-in set can be used in RGB as well as CMYK and Grayscale and LAB as well as in 16 bits / channel (for many of the features). Change the image mode via the image command in Photoshop from RGB to CMYK and the plugins will still appear enabled in the filters menu, apply your effects in CMYK etc. You can also go to the channels palette and apply the effects to individual channels
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
Randomized settings
The plugins all come with a selection of randomization buttons. The Xtreme button randomized the settings to the extreme, creating literally millions and millions of image effects. The blend button randomizes the blend / output options; the tweak button applies subtle variations of the current settings
Many different powerful settings in all plugins
All the plugins include many different settings. The plugins include dropdown combo boxes to radically alter the functionality of the plugin, settings sliders such as intensity, mixing of image and effect, blurring, quality of effect and more. Enter the settings via the interactive sliders or enter the strength of the effect in the standard text box.
