Description
Plugin
Galaxy 2 is a plugin for creating special effects and enhancing
images with
the help of more than 160 basic effects.
It works under Windows and Mac OS X in dozens of graphics
applications including Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop
Elements, PhotoPlus, Photo-Paint, IrfanView and PhotoImpact.
It supports 8bit and 16bit RGB and grayscale images.
The
Effects
Plugin
Galaxy provides filters for transparency manipulation, blurring,
texture and pattern generation, noise creation, mirroring and
warping. It also includes metal, chrome, neon, pop art,
glass, page curl, rainbow, sunshine, sunset and star effects
and lets you enhance, colorize, add edges to your photos
and even encrypt them. There are also effects like
feedbacks, grids or zooming. Additionally
Plugin Galaxy includes presets for creating fire, rain, snow,
water surface, metallic
text, contrast and
frame effects as well
as rendering cosmic scenes.
Unlimited
Possibilities
All
Plugin Galaxy effects are accessible from a single dialog.
Thousands
of potential effects can be created with the help of sliders,
check boxes, color boxes, preview coordinates and blend modes.
The new Play
button (known from Harrys Filters 3) generates random animations
in the preview for exploring the possibilities of the 160+ main
effects and the Jump button produces random filter settings.
With
the new Layers feature you can also apply multiple effects
to the image without leaving the Plugin Galaxy dialog. Additionally
you can save filter settings as preset files and open them for
later use. 400 presets are already included with
Plugin Galaxy. Many Plugin Galaxy effects
also affect the transparency of image layers which offers further
possibilities.
For
Beginners as well as Experts
Plugin
Galaxy offers four modes for adjusting the effects from the
simple Novice Mode to the sophisticated Expert Mode. The Classic
Mode is very similar to the previous version of Plugin Galaxy
and the Manual Mode makes all essential controls available without
switching between tab sheets. You can also apply the same effect
to a large number of images by batch processing them in Cloak
Mode.
What Makes It Special
Unlike many other effect
collections you can select all Plugin Galaxy effects from a
single dialog and apply multiple effects without leaving the
plugin, which saves a lot of time. The Play and Jump Buttons
can give you new effect ideas with the help of random settings.
The more than 160 basic effects can be used to create unlimited
effect variations with the help of various controls and by combining
the effects with each other. All in all, Plugin Galaxy also
offers many useful effects and features in a package with a
low price.
