Product Showcase




This is a preview of Series 09 of Andrew's Plug-ins from Graphicxtras -- I explored Series 01, Series 02, Series 03, Series 04 , Series 05, Series 06, Series 07 and Series 08 earlier.

Series 09 is called ImageEchoes which has blur, distort, gradient, noise and smear effect.

This page of preview images shows you the default effects as they are without any tweaking of the sliders. Also, I'm keeping the text narrative to a minimum -- let the pictures speak for themselves.

This original image was sourced from Indezine Photos.

Blur - Fragment
Figure 1: Blur - Fragment applies fragments, resulting lighting and darkening images.

Blur - Lightenup
Figure 2: Blur - Lightenup generates blurry lighting effect.

Distort - Lineup
Figure 3: Distort - Lineup applies displacement blury line, ripple etc.

Gradient - Combo9
Figure 4: Gradient - Combo9 generated different styles of gradient, combine blending mode to get different effects.

Gradient - Rings
Figure 5: Gradient - Rings - generates variations of gradient rings.

Noise - Crossing
Figure 6: Noise - Crossing inverted scratches and give a pastel sketches effect.

Smear - LineSmear
Figure 7: Smear - LineSmear generates a smeared glass color effect.

As you can see, most of these effects work best when combined over separate layers with blending modes although you could also use one of these all in itself as well.

Featured Story

Adobe Captivate's Edit View

In an earlier post last week, I discussed Adobe Captivate's views and compared them to PowerPoint's deafult views. I also explained about the Storyboard View. In this post, I'll look at Captivate's Edit view, which in many ways is similar to PowerPoint's Normal view. If you are not already in Edit view within Captivate, choose the View drop-down in the toolbar, and select Edit View.
