Plug-in Questions

[Ama]

<DIV>I have been experimenting around with Paint Shop Pro for a bit and i'm deffinately getting the hang of using effects.  However I wanted to know a bit more about plug-ins for PSP and what are considered "Safe Sites" to DL pluggins from.  Also how can I create new "Textures" for the Texture Effect that is in the Effects tab area? </DIV>

<P>I don't typically use that textures effect feature in Paintshop..I have all of the EyeCandy stuff so that's typically what I use.</P> <P>For example.  The below pic is untouched:</P> <P><IMG src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Felth/QuickEditBefore.jpg"></P> <P> </P> <P>And then 2-3 minutes using 2 different EyeCandy Filters:</P> <P><IMG src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Felth/QuickEdit.jpg"></P>

<P>I have been experimenting with the Textured effects and have produced some interesting results.  One result i'm a bit proud of is this Painting esk feel for this picture bellow:</P> <P>I basically created a yellow boarder around the picture used the "Magic Wand" function on that boarder and used the "Wood Grain" texture modifying it to make the nice edge.  I then used the Magic wand inside the main picture area using a "Canvas" texture to give it the painting feel. </P> <P><IMG src="http://img455.imageshack.us/img455/3741/picture1ej3.jpg"></P> <P>The EyeCandy effect at first it's hard to spot but after I managed to compare the two it deffinatley looks promising.  I really like how it adds a "Comet" effect to the particles in the top left area giving a "Mana/Magical" feel about it.  :smileywink:</P>
