A list of PSE Plug-ins, Actions, and other tools

[Ivor]

Hi, is there a list in the Village for plug-ins/actions etc for PSE, please? Someone occassionally posts a gem and it would be really useful if there was a list with links - perhaps like this:

Grant's Tools, (layers masks, curves, channels) Free. Excellent


Graffi's Add-O-Matic! (automatically add plug-ins, Actions, layer styles etc.) $11.99 Very Good

Chromacute Chromatic Abberation removal tool. Free. Very Good.

If not, can we continue this list.

There may have been some confusion with a few new members regarding the scope of your "plug-ins".

It is my understanding that you have compiled a list of tools for Photoshop Elements and not a list a plug-ins with a broader intent, such as headphones and the like.

If you do expand on your thread, it might be a consideration to re-title your thread
plug-ins/actions for Photoshop Elements

What do you think?

I'm happy with that! Title changed.

Anyone else have any good tools to add?

Thanks.

Hi Ivor,

Here's a list of Actions sites I compiled some time ago... some of them may no longer be active.

Any more anyone?

I am going through Diana's very comprehensive list from a similar list placed some time ago and here is some updated information. Some of the old links no longer works. please feel free to expand!

Graffi's Graffishop a range of add-ons from $9 upwards including Add-O-Matic which automatically adds actions

cavesofice A set of tools including masks, channels and allignment tools, expecially useful for PSE1-4. Later versions of PSE have many of these tools and Grants Tools covers what this has for versions 5 onwards.

PanosFX Loads of stuff too long to list, free and commercial.


Texas Chicks More great actions (commercial) and a free newsletter with tutorials

more to follow...

[Ivor]

Alibony Free actions, inclusing a nice some good video lessons

Hidden Elements, a mix of free and commercial add-ons for up to PSE7. The free stuff seems to be similar to Grant's Tools.

ShutterFreaks Some free actions to add frames to pictures and commercial actions to from around $10USD

Ezactions Commercial Actions to make templates ($10USD +) and improve the look of your pictures (B&W conversions, tonal adjustments etc) upwards from $35 to $150

Studio Girls Scrapbook Graphics Scrapbooking Actions. Loads of excellent stuff here if you like digital scrapbooking. Commercial but good value - from around $3 upwards.

I am having a dilemma with regards to my On One Photo Essential 4 for my PSE 9. Essentials 4 (Make It Cool)has several effects that I like while omitting one that I enjoyed in Essentials 3; namely the photo filter starburst effect. On One left me with a decison to revert to Essentials 3 to get the starburst or stay with Essentials 4 to retain the feaatures that I enjoy there such as Photo Filter/ Tobacco effect for B&W, the Rust and scratched film texture overlays and the snow effect found in the Weather category.

I want the best of both and am searching for preferably a starburst filter like the one in Essentials 3 so I can keep using Essentials 4 or the tobacco effect, rust and scratched film texture overlays, and the snow effect that I can run in Essentials 3.

I have already asked On One if it could be as simple as copying the features from Essentials 3 and inserting them in Essentials 4. Answer was No. Can someone steer me in the right direction as I have gone cross eyed looking for plug-ins, preset and or actions that will allow me the best of both software. Thanks

I thought that it might be worth digging up this discussion again as it has some useful stuff in it.

I would like to add Elemental, a fantastic plug-in for Lightroom that opens multiple files directly into PSE with the ACR adjustments.
