Gradients GradientCombo7 plug-in

Powerful gradient plug-in with 1000s of different gradients. Plug-in includes a number of different gradient apply methods as well as gradient combination types and center options. The plug-in also includes spatial and color factors, noise setting, center settings and gradient mix settings. The plug-in generates the gradient based on the current foreground and background color setting in the Photoshop (and others) toolbox, varying the colors can radically change the end gradient result. The gradients can be combined via the fade functionality in Photoshop or use the gradient plug-in across layers to blend the gradients in many different ways, as well as combining with the standard effects in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. The gradients generated are near impossible to describe, the plug-in can literally create millions of different colorful designs including fragmented gradients, radial gradients, artifact gradients, linear gradients, ribbon gradients, warped gradients, abstract gradients, columnar gradients, jarring gradients, ring gradients and more. As with all the plug-ins in the Andrew's plug-ins, the end result can be inverted, color wrapped around the color extremes or tiled or mirrored and many other different output modes (there are 88 included with the plug-in). The generated gradient can be used as a source for an effect such as a blur or smear or sepia or tone or other effects modes via the effects dropdown. Using the effects dropdown, many unique blurring and smearing effects can be created such as patchy or radial or warped blurring. Please note: references to the gradients and patterns do not refer to the patterns and gradients included with Photoshop. The plug-in generates its own patterns and gradients. The pattern designs, can be, if so wished, defined as patterns via the tiling output modes.

 

Patterns PatternMagic plug-in

The patterns plug-in is similar to the pattern plug-in but instead of a smooth transition of color, the pattern plug-in generates discrete pixel designs such as squares, warped designs, circular designs and more. The plug-in comes with a number of pattern types and variant settings to create many unique pattern designs. The pattern's color uses the current foreground and background color from the toolbox. The generated designs can also be output inverted, color wrapped, tiled, mirrored, dark edge effect applied and more via the output dropdown. The pattern's color can also be re-colored using the color sliders or if you wish to experiment with 100s of color combinations, simply click the color button (the plug-in comes with many different randomization features such as randomizing the output/blend settings, pattern combinations as well as extreme randomization of the settings). The pattern can also be used as a source for an effect such as blurs and smears

 

Utility VerticalStretch plug-in

Stretching plug-in. The plug-in stretches the vertical pixels off the image or crunches the pixels into the top edge of the image. The plug-in includes a basic control to stretch the vertical (rotate the image by 90 degrees to stretch the horizontal) along with fine tuning controls to match the edge to the required position. The empty space (if reduced in size) is set to the background color set by the plug-in (by default, black). The plug-in comes with a number of stretching apply methods such as basic, radial, triangular, random (for very interesting noise smeared stretched images) and others.

 

 

 

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
