*Filter Forge* is designed to help you create stunning filters as a high-end
plug-in for Adobe Photoshop. It allows you to build your own *filters,
textures, visual effects, distortions, patterns, backgrounds, and frames* in
a few clicks. The key features of Filter Forge include a visual filter editor
and a free online library of 6000+ user-created filters to which anyone can
contribute. If you're a dab hand with Photoshop then creating filters is
something you'll be familiar with but if you're not, you might need a helping
hand which is what Filter Forge aims to do. Filter Forge's interface is
simple enough to use even for beginners. You can use it either within
Photoshop or as a standalone plugin. What makes Filter Forge stand out from
most average plugins are three main features. The obvious one is that via the
*simple editor*, you can create your own filters. Although it is quite
straightforward with an excellent user guide, Filter Forge still requires
some knowledge of creating filters to be used effectively. Note that all
filters support 16- and 32-bit modes only in Photoshop. Additionally, Filter
Forge is very much a user oriented application. There are *thousands of free
filters* created by other users and if you become a contributor yourself, you
receive the full version of Filter Forge absolutely free. It's not clear how
good your filters have to be to qualify but it seems like generally anything
goes. *Filter Forge is an excellent filter creation tool with a strong
community spirit that will enhance your Photoshop creations.*Download *Filter
