Photoshop - Luxology imageSynth 2.0 Plugin
Screen ShotDescription
imageSynth 2 is an advanced technology that allows you to create seamless
textures and high-resolution tiled images from low resolution sources. It’s the
ultimate organic pattern making tool for creating infinitely tileable images —
a “must have” for every artist’s digital tool box.imageSynth 2 now works for
you in two ways: you can start the program right inside Adobe Creative Suite
Photoshop as a plug-in texture editor, or you can launch imageSynth as a
standalone program for creating your own custom, perfectly tiled textures from
any graphic image sources. Either way you want to work, imageSynth supports
both Mac and PC platforms.

Feel Free to Experiment — Faster
imageSynth takes advantage of today’s modern processors; it’s threaded and
optimized for two cores. So you can work up to 10 times faster than before.
Improved memory management also speeds up undoing actions. Now there
are more options for zooming in and placing texture chunks and you can use
the new Eraser tool to selectively remove areas of texture. View an online
video which demonstrates the speed increase.

How to use Photoshop plugins


A plug-in is a software module, which is used with some other applications to enhance the

capabilities of that application. Adobe Photoshop
comes with pre-installed plug-ins. These plug-ins perform different type of effects on images.




To use plug-ins in Adobe Photoshop we need to install them in Adobe Photoshop's plug-in

directory.When we install any plug-in it will ask you to give the path (some automatically

finds Adobe Photoshop). Select the Adobe Photoshop's plug directory. When Adobe Photoshop

will run it will automatically read these plug-ins. These plug-ins will be included in the

Filter menu.

To use any plug-in, open the image on which we want to use effects. Then go to menu bar

and select Filter and then in the end of this menu list select any of the installed plug-

in. The plug-in window will open
