No one’s ready yo share?

i’m going to move this to the Deisgn forum…

Jubba i asked for favorite photoshop tool… is that design forum material?
but then again u r right, i may get more response there.
thanx

I like the blur tools and filter. I also like the color depth tool.

I use glare alot…and for my print work I use knoll light factory

i just like to use hue/saturation, not really a filter… but…

flasherjaz, lol, nice post count :evil:

yea same
i like the Hue Saturation tool as well :slight_smile:
and the different layering techniques are also very handy

ok these are just tool, do u guys use any eye candy type plugs, filters? vertigo 3d is my favorite=)

i like the glows and lighting effects, they can completely change an image.

platic wrap…everybody HAS to like plastic wrap. ;):slight_smile:

I don’t really use filters… The only thing I tend to use is the Blur tool to soften the edges of the colours in my pics. :slight_smile:

No but kit, wat if u have to make something like a 3d image, u have to use pluggins like Vertigo 3D and others.

I have a confession - I’ve never used a 3D program in my life. :blush:

A while ago I wanted to make a 3D looking jigsaw as part of a concept design… I drew it all by hand. :sure:

I don’t use any plugins and stuff for Photoshop… I suppose you could say that I’m a purist - I like to make each effect myself, otherwise I don’t do it. If I want to show light falling on something, I’ll draw the highlights and shadows by hand rather than apply a filter.

Guess it’s just me. :slight_smile:

Man kit!!! You are using like 1/100th of the power of ps. Recently I have started using xenofex for a project I am working on and also a few others from flaming pear. Most of the time alot of filters will make your image look pretty cheesey but in moderation is cool.

I know, I know. :slight_smile:

I suppose it’s just that the kind of things I use PS for don’t involve filters or 3D. I mostly draw Manga type stuff, and that just uses cel shading techniques. No filters or anything involved there… But the effect I get with PS is better than if I coloured straight in Illustrator.

A lot of you guys are all into the whole 3D type thing, which is great. :slight_smile: My style is just more simple, that’s all. :slight_smile:

me likes Extract filter alot…

And all of flaming pear’s filters - 'specially Melancholytron… you gotta try it…

yeah flaming pear has the best plug ins…Knoll light factory is great also alot of studios use it,.

I just love using the gradient overlay. Here’s a little exp of mine, which uses it to some extent.
