Product Showcase




This is a preview of Series 17 of Andrew's Plug-ins from Graphicxtras -- for more previews, explore the links from the Andrew's Plugins index page.

Series 17 is GXEdged -- this plug-in series creates simulated brush strokes with distinctive edges and paint-like 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.

Color - Starburst
Figure 1: Color - Starburst generates effects like sketch, splatter, pastel etc.

Edged - Darkforce
Figure 2: Edged - Darkforce applies an embossed, dark edge effect.

Edged - Impact
Figure 3: Edged - Impact applies blur with a noise.

Edged - SourceEdge
Figure 4: Edged - SourceEdge applies a dark, edgy effect with different color values.

Gradient - Coarse
Figure 5: Gradient - Coarse generates a very unnatural look by applying a gradient overlay.

Noise - DarkEdge
Figure 6: Noise - DarkEdge creates dark edges with an overall, smudgy paint effect.

Paint - Dots
Figure 7: Paint - Dots generates circles on the underlying image.

Paint - Ringed
Figure 8: Paint - Ringed creates rings on 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.
