Well, the Fred Miranda site is mostly geared to Photography, although I use his free sharpening action constantly (and he's got a couple pay ones). Again, it depends what you want. Do you want to play with the colors? Add special effects? What sort? Do you want to do fancy masking on the borders? There are thousands of plugins, actions, and related filters and plugins out there. Something that I may use regularly would be useless to others, and vice versa. The best thing to do, IMHO, is have a good look around at what you might be interested in trying, and then ask if it's something you want to know more about. And you can always download the free ones like mad (I know I do! ;)). As a general rule of thumb, for pay filters I find the most useful to be those from Alien Skin (Eye Candy and Splat). I use those a great deal. Lately, though, I find that I rely far more on actual Photoshop features rather than third party plugins. bnni
