OK, I live to show people how to get the most out of Photoshop. I taught at the college level three semesters deep on Photoshop alone! However, I realize not everyone is into the same journey as I am, and would simply like to get some results from their own photographs they’ve taken with their digital camera! There are plenty of Photoshop actions out there… (do a Google search for “Free Photoshop Actions Download”), as well as Photoshop Filters… (do another Google Search for “Free Photoshop Filters Download”), but maybe you don’t even own a copy of Photoshop. After all, it is rather expensive! I still use Photoshop CS for everything at home and to make my free actions and tutorials, though admittedly, at work we have CS4 installed. There is a solution, and it is from the remarkable optikVerve Labs, home of the FREE

VirtualPhotographer Filter plugin

for Photoshop CS4 and EARLIER. (or Photoshop Elements, or Corel PhotoPaint, or IrfanView, or PaintShop Pro, or any other program that can use Photoshop .8bf plugins). But more importantly for those not owning Photoshop, they are also the creators of the ALSO FREE software called

VirtualStudio

which includes not only the VirtualPhotographer plugin, but additionally works with any and all plugins that you can find using a Google search for free plugins. It can be installed on Windows 7, Vista 32-bit, Windows XP, 2000, ME or ’98 operating systems!!! WOW!!!
