PS is a standard for image creating and editing. It is used to prepare images for use in other apps as well as postwork on creations from others like Poser, Corel, 3dmax, etc

Third party filters or plugins are available as freeware or purchased. Visit the FIlters Area for links and a few plugins to give it a try. I use Metacreation's Kai Power Tools, Alien Skin's Eye Candy and a few more inumerable. to list here

A word on plugins..... Third party filters make life easy in PS sense in a few clicks. But I feel, as well as others in the forum, that one must learn to use PS on its own - CREATIVITY THROUGH 100% PHOTOSHOP. Since PS ships with its set of useful filters, you have more than enough to learn and use. Third party filters come in handy in enhancing a PS effect or for more advanced effects. But hey, if you haven't learned to use all the PS tools in tandem, you haven't tapped the full capabilities of this great apps. Even the masters in the forum learn new things day by day.

Enjoy your stay..... and be prepared to be assimilated by a bunch of nutty aliens.

P.s. The day you stop asking "stupid" questions is the day you give up on the world around you.
