which plugin software is best!!

I not sure which plugin to buy could some one give me a hand!
:confused:

I think the Eye Candy and the KPT plug ins seem to be the most popular for general plug ins. If there is something specific you need one for then I would list those needs....

But.... Plug ins are great, but you can achieve a lot if you just learn the software =)

thanks

I fail to see the purpose in plug-ins.. unless they provide something that is actually needed for some very special effect.
:confused:

I've had my share of them, when wanting to fool around with "cool effects".. but why would someone actually need them? :|

I have used one, once - lol, when I couldnt get this 3-d chrome effect for a R&B band's logo. I used my friends computer and made it in like 5 seconds using some chrome plug in on kpt 7 (?I think).... but other than that, all the ones I have seen are kind of generic looking. But it seems like some of the color correcting or photograph ones work well, from what people say.

I think Xenofex & Eye Candy are the best for effects (glow, bevel, chrome...etc). The best plugin for photo enhancement is Extensis Intellihance. It can take a crummy photo and bring out the best of it. (Although Eye Fidelity Tools does a great job removing the moire pattern while still bringing out color & contrast)

After buying Photoshop you still have enough money to buy a plugin? Wow! Learn to use Photoshop first and you may find that you might not even need a plugin.

my name is graphicsguy, and I'm a pluginholic.

I see no shame in it. Hell, I don't buy 'em, my company does. so there! *sticks out toungue*

EyeCandy and Xenofex are bad ass. If you like plugs, get those first. Then, start checking into AutoFX's Dreamsuite - which gives lovely results, but lacks in user-friendliness, without a doubt. Last but certainly not least is the KPT suite. Newest one is KPT Effects series, which I've only dabbled with, but offers some truly original options - that you can't just "do in photoshop."

good luck fellow plugger... (gosh, that sounded bad...)

:D
