Which ones do you guys recommend? I just got some Topaz plug-ins and now I'm interested in knowing what some other great ones are. I've yet to use them until today.

None really. Most of them just distort stuff when used improperly.

Delete topaz before you start using it for the worse and never turn away.

Lol, you haven't had any pleasant experiences with it? I mainly downloaded it so my wife can use it for photo editing since she's into photography and stuff. I figured I'd check it out and see what it's capable of.

I might get the trial version of SiteGrinder and do a few templates and see how I like that.

I haven't even seen that filter yet. That one looks stupid. I'm sure you can play with the settings on some of them though, throw in some blending/masks if needed and get creative with some of them though.

Nothin wrong with some extra filters though. Some of the plug-ins seem useful though, especially that SiteGrinder one. As previously mentioned I only got Topaz plugins so my wife can use it for editing her photos since she does photography. I'm just gonna mess around with them when I have some time. I'm fine with Photoshop as is and just using outside resources but there are some neat looking plug-ins that look like they're worth giving a try.

Just another "i'm going to ask for your opinion, then down talk / disregard your opinion" thread. :rofl:

My thread is asking for opinions on which plug-ins I should try. Not asking about your opinion of whether or not I should use them period. :rofl:

The only credible opinion I've had so far was from someone in the football section who actually recommended a plug-in as opposed to trying to sway my opinion on the use of them.

Thanks for your unnecessary input.
