Recently, Filter Forge, Inc released version 4.0 of their unique Photoshop plug-in which allows users to create their own filters for making special graphic effects by assembling them from blurs, gradients, color adjustments, noises, distortions, and blends. No coding is required.
Version 4.0 adds three major new features:
• A filter manager, which lets users organize their filters in a collection
• Component grouping, which allows filter authors to package parts of their filters into reusable components.
• A Loop component, which enables automated and controlled repetition of graphical operations.
Filter Forge users can also access nearly 10,000 free community-created filters via an online filter library.
Filter Forge is available for both Mac OS X and Windows, and can be used as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop.
If you’re interested in testing out Filter Forge, you can download a free fully-functional 30-day trial version.
And for a limited time, you can take advantage of a special deal and get the Professional edition of Filter Forge for $119 (70% off the regular price). Filter Forge also comes in Basic and Standard editions, or you can get all the features of the Professional Edition through a subscription plan where you pay $49 quarterly.
