 Squizz can be thought of as Kai´s Power Goo inside Photoshop, with the same tools for deforming the image (pulling, pushing and the like), minus the original interface, plus two extra ways of deforming the image : Grid (the image is covered by a grid, moving around the nodes deforms the image accordingly) and Envelope (the image is covered with Bézier curves, changing them changes the image).
Overall, there are enough functions and settings for achieving the exact effect you are after, with a fast preview and a clean interface - a really good tool, with which you can both achieve spectacular effects or precise retouchings. |

 Based on a precise system of Bézier tools, this plugin enables you to create a text outline, precisely deform it, and apply an effect among the hundreds provided or those you define yourself.
Clearly the best around for the job, the only problem maybe the length it may take to chose the effect and how you apply it, the reward being the most precise text effects around - and as usual with Human Software, the interface is extremely clean and easy to use. |

 This plugin enables you to paint over your picture with a suite of image elements - for example, instead of painting with strokes, you could paint with flowers. Of course, you have all sorts of settings for controlling the way images are spread, and if you do not have enough of the 50 "sprayettes" give with the plugin, you can create your own or buy an additional 100.
Very similar to Painter´s Nozzle (though way less refined) or Paint Shop Pro´s Tubes, it adds a very interesting possibility when working in PS, provided you have a machine powerful enough to run this very resource-demanding plugin, and the time to learn what the numerous settings stand for. |

 This very powerful plugin provides all sorts of ways of changing the colors of an image, whether you have precise, professional color adjustments to make, or want to completely change the look of an image. It offers the possibility to replace up to 6 colors at once, accepts keyboard entries for precise values, leaves you preview different settings in multi-pannelled windows (the way Test Strip does), and on top of it is really fast...
A really excellent tool in the end, and a competitor for Test Strip, even if it lacks the output options of the latter... |

This plugin seems to be able to help you do wonderful things with Photoshop, but I just have not been able to get my hands on a demo, so if you are interested just have a look at their website... |

This nice plugin provides several useful functions for creating, editing and managing paths within Photoshop ; not so useful now that PS5 includes advanced Bézier functions, but it remains the possibility to create text along paths, which is only possible with
