BleachBypass is a Photoshop-compatible plug-in designed to digitally simulate the traditional “bleach bypass” technique, producing pleasing film-like results. The bleach bypass, or “bleach skip” technique involves the partial or complete skipping of the bleaching stage during the processing of a colour film. This prevents the silver from being removed from the negative, and the result is a contrasty image with muted colours. The technique is often used extensively in motion pictures, such as “Saving Private Ryan” and “Three Kings”.

Beautifier - soft focus and richness enhancing filter, perfect for portraiture. Also with B&W and IR simulation options.
HotPixel automatically detects and removes “hot pixel” noise from digital camera images. It works on all but the most noisy of images.

Local Contrast Enhancement brings out detail.This is accomplished by increasing the contrast between a pixel’s value and the mean value of the adjacent pixels in a local area of the photo. You can control the amount of the increase of contrast, the size of the local area and the amount of blending with the original photo.

A preview mask can be displayed, and there is a selection between horizontal, vertical and radial blurs.
B/W conversion plugin with powerfull features that allow full control over the final result. Total control over the tonal response of Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue and Magenta, and the intermediate hues. The user can boost each color’s tonal response all the way up to white or limit it down to black, without affecting the other colors at all. The plugin offers presets that accurately simulate the tonal response of the most popular b/w films. It can introduce a grain effect of controllable intensity and density. A brightness meter is displayed when the cursor is over the preview window. All settings can be saved in a parameter file to be available for future use.
Selective Saturation - quite often some parts of a photo require a saturation adjustment while others do not. If we increase the saturation globally, the most saturated parts get oversaturated and if we decrease it, the less saturated parts get undersaturated.
virtualPhotographer includes over 50 presets that automatically apply combinations of film grain, color modification, B/W, soft focus, high contrast and many artistic effects to achieve the same professional-looking images that used to take hours of photo editing. Get results in seconds! Compatible with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, Photo-Paint and other popular imaging applications.
Flo’s UnDistort filter is a plugin for correcting deformations of photographic images: barrel and pincushion deformations, perspective deformations (keystone effect), chromatic aberrations (also known as “color fringing”).

Caravaggio is a simple ‘oil-painting’ effect, with just four sliders. Increasing the ‘Creativity’ gives a more ‘painterly’ effect. Increasing the ‘Exuberance’ gives a more energetic, broad-brush feel.

Greytinter filter can give some very tasteful ‘artistic’ effects. The filter reduces the image to greyscale, but allows the original colour to be added back in to give subtle tints. The end result can look quite impressive. The filter has four sliders; the ‘Overall tint’ slider takes the image from greyscale at the extreme left, to full colour at the right. The other three sliders are cut/boost controls for red, green and blue, but they don’t work on their respective channels as one might expect. Each slider tries to identify regions of the corresponding colour in the image, and then boost or cut the colour of those regions. In other words, the idea is to change selected colours in the picture rather than any overall colouring of the image as a whole.

Mistifier recreates the hazy, soft-focus effect beloved of traditional SLR photographers. This is ideal for portraits, but can also be used to great effect on landscapes, giving a sort of dreamy quality.
Greyscaler - one of the very few things that PSP cannot do directly is convert a single layer to greyscale without affecting the other layers as well. The only option available is (from the menus) Colors->Greyscale, and this converts the whole image - in other words, all layers. The xero : greyscale filter addresses this shortcoming, and adds some useful extras as well.
AmphiSoft pack of freeware and shareware plug-in filters for Adobe Photoshop and numerous compatible image editors for Windows (Macromedia Fireworks, JASC and Corel Paint Shop Pro, Ulead Photo Impact etc. etc. including freeware like IrfanView and XnView) gives you an unsurpassed power for both finest image correction and stunning special effects.

AmphiSoft Photo Sharpen is advanced plug-in filter for sharpening images without forming halos. Halo appears when traditional sharpening filter meets, say, dark object on light background. In attempt to make image look sharper, that is, to improve local contrast along the edge, filter makes background area along the edge even lighter, while making object edge darker, thus introducing colors outside original image tonal range and forming noticeable halo along the edge.
