ThePluginSite Panel

for Photoshop CS4/CS5
(Windows & MacOS X)


 

ThePluginSite Panel is a flash panel for Photoshop CS4/CS5 for Windows and MacOS X. It allows you to apply all Photoshop plugins created by The Plugin Site in a very convenient way. It is freeware.

You can have a look at an interactive demo of the panel. The demo only demonstrates the UI of the panel, so clicking of the controls has no effect.

Features:

  • Works in Photoshop CS4/CS5 under Windows and MacOS X
  • Applies all plugins of The Plugin Site conveniently from a panel.
  • Use the brush tool to add or remove the plugin effect
  • Apply the last plugin effect without displaying a dialog
  • Apply a plugin to the current layer, a duplicated version of it or a layer that is a merged copy of all visible layers.
  • Flatten all layers before applying a plugin
  • It can be docked to the other panels in Photoshop as well as collapsed.
  • The panel is resizable. So making it bigger also enlarges the list box with the plugin names.
  • In the German version of Photoshop CS4/CS5 it displays a German UI
  • Clicking on the logo at the top displays www.thepluginsite.com in your browser


Installation

To install it double click the downloaded .mxp file and follow the installation instructions. Then run Photoshop CS4 or CS5 and display the panel by choosing Window > Extentions > ThePluginSite from the menu. You can leave the panel floating or dock it to the other palettes by dragging it there.


How does it work?

At first you need to select a plugin from the list at the left. Then click on one of the four buttons at the right. There is also a combo box and a check box for determining to which layer the plugin will be applied. Here is an explanation of these features:

Run: Runs the selected plugin and displays the plugin dialog.

Repeat: If you already ran a plugin, it applies the plugin without showing a dialog. Otherwise the dialog will display.

Add: After you clicked the Add button, the plugin dialog appears. Choose your settings and press OK. Now you do not see the effect. You need to paint on the image to reveal the effect. The brush tool and the appropriate color are already selected.

Remove: This button displays the dialog of the selected plugin. Choose your settings and press OK. To remove the effect from some areas of the image please paint on the image. The brush tool and the correct color are already selected.

Apply to Layer: This combo box determines to which layer the plugin is applied. The 'Current' option applies the plugin to the currently selected layer. The 'Duplicated' option duplicates the selected layer and applies the plugin to it. The 'Stamped' option inserts a merged copy of all visible layers as a new layer and runs the plugin on it.

Flatten: If this check box is activated, all layers are combined before the selected plugin is applied.

Logo: Click on the logo image at the top to display www.thepluginsite.com in your web browser.
