Plugins and filters are one of the most criticized tools in the world of graphic design. The fact that they oversimplify the task and turn work processes with professional results into something accessible to anyone makes designers are offended and undervalueds in good measure.
It makes all the sense, but of course it cannot be generalized. Many times we as professionals need to access solutions that are efficient and fast. I personally am one of those who thinks so you are good and you like what you do you should not fight against anyone. Just do what you do best. A person who does not have enough knowledge will generate much more questionable ideas, compositions and results, regardless of the plugins and tools they have. But hey, I'm going around the bush and in the end I don't say what I've come to say. Here you have a selection of ten plugins which are very good and interesting for Adobe Photoshop. In the second part, more and better. Enjoy them!
