Plug-ins included in set

 

Blur Gradient Blur plug-in (PC only)

Blur and smearing effect applied using an underlying gradient. The gradient is an inbuilt gradient but the actual gradient can be modified via the colors used (via the Photoshop or paint Shop Pro toolbox) as well as the color and center settings on the dialog.

 

The strength of the blurring effect is controlled by the blur settings for each channel. An additional color factor can be applied. The plugin set also includes 100 additional output modes for the effect such as tiling or frame and many other color settings such as purple and edge and posterization and solarization outputs. The blur plugin effect can also be used as a source for paint / distortion / sepia / smear / blur effects via the effects mode (the basic mode is shown in the dialog). If the effect had been applied a layer, the layer transparency settings can also be used. The plugin also comes with color modifiers as well as randomized / create post processing gradient color overlays to create literally millions and millions of possible color effects on top of the blur. The plugin also includes randomization features for the color and blend mode settings as well as all the displayed dialog settings (via the extreme button)

 

Gradient Burst plug-in

Gradient star burst & radial plug-in effect plug-in. The plugin applies a wide variety of zoom or burst effect (repeating or alternating lines). Via the plugin dropdown you can access 31 different plugins (the plugin tool was at one time spread over multiple plugins) and create a vast range of overlay zoom and line effects as well as backgrounds. The lines can be blended in with the underlying image as well. The lines can be re-colored via the factor settings as well as the red and green and blue post processing colors. The plugin zoom center can also be changed along with the number of lines generated for each of the color channels. You can also limit the colors to the range of the FG and BG color in the Photoshop toolbox. The plugin, as with all the other plugins in the Andrew's plugins series, can be further modified via the effects modes (applying the effect as a blur or sepia instead of just outputting the effect) as well as the output modes (various color filter modifiers) as well as applying 1000s and 1000s of different color post processing effects to the image and effect via the post processing dropdown which includes 17 different filter effects. Literally millions and millions of zoom and burst effects can be created using this plugin. You can, upon exit of the plugin, also combine the applied effects multiple times to create a near infinite range of stunning color effects. The effects can also in turn be modified by the other Photoshop filters.

 

Gradient GradientCombo12 plug-in

1000s of gradient designs and stunning color effects. The plugin has 15 in built plugins (originally the plugin set included all the plugins as 15 plugins but they are now all included in one). The plugins include different gradients effects such as a storm gradient, square gradient, pipe gradient effect and more, The color of the gradient is modified via the Photoshop toolbox FG and BG colors so you can literally apply millions of different color effects. The center of the gradients can be modified as well as the impact of the color to the gradient. Noise can be added to the gradient in the plugin. As with all the plugins in the Andrew's plugins, the plugin set includes 100 output modes such as color effects, inverse, tiles, gray and more; along with post processing filters; output color modifiers; randomization settings; transparency settings; effects modes and more. Literally millions of color gradients (use for backgrounds, frames, masks, selections, layer effects, as sources for effects) and you can also combine the plugin effects multiple times. The plugin set also now includes, as all the other Andrew's plugins, scripting so you can now use the plugin in the Photoshop actions. The gradient effect can also be blended with the original source image as well as just creating unusual or basic color gradients.

 

 

 

Installation of plugins

 

Plugins are 8BF format files. Install the 8BF files in the plug-ins or plugins path of the host application i.e. c:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5\plug-ins or CS4, CS3 CS2 etc. For PSP X4 X3 X2 etc, check out the file > preferences > file locations > plug-ins folder and place the plugins in that folder. Once installed, re-start your graphic application (such as Photoshop, Photo-Paint etc) and access the plugins via the effects / filters / plugins menu.

 

 

Accessing the plugins

 

The plugins will appear in the plugins or filters menu of the host application (this varies from application to application). The Andrew's plugins are split into a variety of 'AP' (Andrew's Plugins) categories such as blur, color, noise etc. If you are using Photoshop, you can also run the plugins via actions or scripting

 

 

Presets

 

The plugins come with a variety of presets (stored plugin settings). You can use the INI file / presets via the open button on the plugin's dialog. You can also save your own plugin presets to re-use effects at a later time. The presets only save the current settings, if randomization is involved in the plugin's effect the randomization is not saved, the end result might vary from the previous effect

 

 

Output options / blend modes

 

The plugins all come with 100 output options. When you apply the effect, the plugin changes the red / green / blue value of the pixels in the current opened image: the output options allow for an additional change before finalizing the changes to the image. Output options include invert, burn effects, posterization, threshold, frames, tiling and many more. In Photoshop, the output options should not be confused with the fade command where the end result can be further modifed by Photoshop itself or the effect reduced. The plugins also come with a 'blend' button which randomizes the blend option, allowing you to quickly explore the 100 options without going through the entire list of outputs / blend options.

 

 

Effects modes

 

The plugins all come with 'effects mode' where the end result is not the actual end result of the plugin effect but purely the source luminance for a blur, smear, paint / warping / distortion, sepia etc effect. The strength of the effect can also be modified as some of the effect settings can result in some truly extreme imagery.

 

 

Post processing

 

The plugins all come with a 'final stage' processing pass (yes, there is another stage before the image is finally generated!) and this includes an overlay or blend of millions and millions of different color and gradient effects (randomized) into the image output. Use to create subtle color effects or wild and weird color effects in seconds
