So I’m becoming addicted to Photoshop filters and plugins.  I love the creative inspiration they bring to the digital darkroom.  But I don’t like to pay for them.  We don’t all have the photographic budget of Jim.  So I was tickled pink (does that sound ok?) when I found this list of free photoshop plugins, filters, brushes, actions & gradients.  Here’s some that I found interesting.  Full disclosure – I found them interesting from the description.  I haven’t tried any of them yet.

• EdgeWorks - A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for creating dramatic edge and colour modifications. They are best used when experimenting with intense photo transformations for a highly stylized look. They are also handy when creating texture effects.
• Mezzy – A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 15 effects for creating a selection of grain and mezzo styles.
• Printed Stuff – Calibration bars, crop marks, paper effects etc.
• Paper Damage – Damage your photos and papers

Warning: Installing too many filters has been known to slow down performance of Photoshop.  Download, test and keep the ones you use.  Delete the rest.
