Summary

In this hour, you checked out some of the cool third-party filters you can use with Photoshop. The most versatile and complete package is still Kai's Power Tools (KPT 6.0), although it's probably not the easiest to use. My personal favorite, Alien Skin's Eye Candy filter set, includes a great many really odd filters, such as Fur and Fire, as well as very simple-to-apply drop shadow and glow filters. Genuine Fractals makes image scaling simple. Andromeda's lens filters and perspective should be in your repair kit. And more filters are coming out practically every day. Keep informed by checking in regularly at Photoshop Paradise (http://desktoppublishing.com/photoshop.html). It's a wonderful Web stop for all Photoshop users.
