Adobe Photoshop is more than an image editor - few applications have a following as large as Photoshop and a dedication beyond platforms. Photoshop has spawned a whole new industry of plug-ins - its popularity can be gauged from the fact that its plug-in architecture is an industry standard that is also used by competing applications.

Latest Photoshop Plug-in Review: AKVIS Pastel
AKVIS Pastel is an Adobe Photoshop compatible plug-in that converts your pictures into pastel art. Once you apply the effect, you can adjust the effect parameters to control the output as desired. Additionally, the advanced brush tools help you to refine the result and you can also apply the pastel painting to any surface such as: sanded paper, MDF board, brick wall, etc. Add a signature, a title, or a greeting to personalize your artwork. The add-in provides the batch processing option which saves lot of time if working on multiple pictures.
