Top 10 Photoshop plugins

[rawhead]

I am slowly getting drip fed some superb plugins for enhancing my pics.

Is there a list of the best /most useful? What are yours?

Please point me to the thread if this has been discussed before....

Cheers

The two I have come across so far:

Focus Magic (has a motion blur option, I have tried this on star trails with limited success)

Imagenomic Nosieware (works great on Lunar pics)

Focus Magic only allows 10 shots, then $45 to register unfortunately.

It's certainly not cheap :shock:

There are ways round these restrictions of course...

Not that I would ever condone such activities...

Focus magic fixes motion blur and out of focus blur,can both not be done in photoshop anyway?

Seems like you are right. Not many peeps using third party plugins...

Jon, <a href=http://websitetips.com/graphics/photoshop/plugins/>Here's</a> another one, this one has links to other sites hosting the plugins by the looks of it.

Noel Carboni's 'Astronomy Actions' for Photoshop, other a very good range of 'processing tools', and are very reasonably priced.

Also, Russell Croman's 'Gradient Exterminator' is another useful plugin. It doesn't enhance all types of DSO, but on those where it does, it makes a worthwhile improvement. Current cost (downloaded) is $50 US.

I'll second Dave's advice....photoshop actions and Gradient Xterminator.

Neatimage is pretty handy for noise reduction too.

Denoise and crispimage are two I find useful
