Product Showcase




This is a preview of Series 11 of Andrew's Plug-ins from Graphicxtras -- for more previews, explore the links from the Andrew's Plugins index page.

Series 11 is GXBlurry -- the plug-ins in this series generate stunning blurry, smear, and gradient effects.

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 - MinMaxCross
Figure 1: Blur - MinMaxCross generates zig-zag blur and smudge effect.

Blur - ShiftZag
Figure 2: Blur - ShiftZag applies diagonal, blur effects.

Gradient - BlendCombo
Figure 3: Gradient - BlendCombo applies gradient with variations of blending modes.

Gradient - Pyramid
Figure 4: Gradient - Pyramid generated wide range of pyramid patterns. Use blending modes to get some great effects.

Noise - Grainy
Figure 5: Noise - Grainy - applies a dark grainy effect.

Utility - Colorize
Figure 6: Utility - Colorize applies color overlay on the image.

Utility - Intensity
Figure 7: Utility - Intensity brightens/darkens the image.

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.
