On my latest pic, Vue this time (been messing with Mojoworld for a bit), I was trying to see what interesting looks I could do in post work.

Well, came up with this :)

First plugin I ran in Paint SHop Pro (much same as Photoshop, uses exact same plugins)

Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0, used the "Brilliance & Warmth" effect
Brilliance at 70%, Warmth at 90%

Making this look like a hot, desert scene so upped them a lot.

Second plugin is
"Xero", and it's "Clarify" effect, at default.

Combination seems really nice on some pics! :)

Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0, iirc, I got that with my Camera, Fuji FinePix s20 Pro  (which is, alas, now not working, gah!).

But cna be bought seperate, it's in the Standard Edition which is $100 (man, don't plugin prices suck ASS?!  sigh)

And Xero is from http://www.xero-graphics.co.uk/set2/clarity.htm
Free!

Not only am I a Vue addict, I'm also a photoshop plugin junkie...lol! :)
