Misc. Things

Already seven sets with regularly some new ones: Master Blaster, Swap Shop, Edge Works, Colour Works, Screen Works, Alpha Works, and Emboss Works, plus a nice utility : the Preset Loader. You can get them together with interesting brushes, textures and numerous other graphic goodies at : Cybia Labs

Four useful no-settings filters designed to remove the black or the white or a mono or color image. Nothing much, but it is handy when you have to play with transparency settings in a layer and opacity is not enough.

A couple of sliders would have been appreciated...

A set of 15 filters that add various patterns to the image, some very psychedelic, some very simple, but as above, being able to play on sliders would have been useful...

A very simple utility that allows you to load a preset (in *.afs format) file from the Synthetic... menu, thus sparing you the pain of managing hundreds of no-settings filters ; you will find 100 of them, based on the Screen Works series, at the same URL.

A series of 15 filters for swapping the colors in your image, with just enough settings. The effects are not new, but it is great to have them all in the same place, under such an user-friendly form, and without having to play around with channels and such commands as Hue/sat, which can be difficult to master for beginners.

Another set of color effects, but this time the results are more violent and interesting, so even if it is less of a "general purpose" tool, it provides several nice effects to experiment with - I have a little preference for the B-BlastBack, Blast Casters and Master Colour.

Another set of effects (15), with varied effects, some already seen elsewhere, others very interesting, such as a good Chromium, the Freeze and Depth effects, a violent color effect named Modern and a Photocopy which I found to be better than the defaults one in PS.

Not an absolute must-have, but enough things to keep you busy for a while and be the base of great effects.

Probably the less interesting package from this author, these 10 filters are new versions of already well-known color effects, except maybe for the Reverse and Exposure.

Nice to have though, if you do not want to do these by hand or do not already have such effects from other filter libraries.

Ten filters regrouping about everything can be done on this theme, with both some dispensable ones (Classic Grey) and a number of very interesting ones, like the Radial Burn, Ice White or Bright Foil. All in all, they provide some fresh design ideas, and are easy to use and set to get the proper effect.
