Plugins and tools for use with Photoshop.

Interface Tweaks

Tool	Author	Description
Color Picker Shortcut In Photoshop CS3 and CS4	Mathias Scheutz	Allows you to set up a hotkey for the Color Picker in CS3/CS4 (CS5 supports it natively).
Custom Flash Panels	Zoltan Erdokovy	Two Flash-based UI panels for CS4 that aggregate commonly-used functions into icons and buttons.
Painter's Wheel HSV Color Picker for Photoshop CS4+	Len White	A Flash widget that customizes the color picker into a Painter-style color wheel.
PS CS5: The Undo/Layer Dance	Will 'sinistergfx' Fuller	Undo can cause the wrong layer to be edited by accident, because it stores the action of switching between layers as another Undo step. The script prevents this from occurring.
Tools#Tablet_Utilities	(various)	Wiki list of tweaks for tablets and Cintiqs.

Actions, Filters, Scripts

Tool	Author	Cost	Description
CP_Offset_ByHalf	Chris 'radiancef0rge' Perrella	Free	Script does a quick offset by detecting texture resolution and offsetting by half. Animated GIFs in his post in Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition! on the Polycount Forum. More scripts on his website Radiance Forge - Tools.
Free Seamless Textures Generator v2	The Orange Box	Free	Texture tiling tools. "Tile" function uses Offset with a custom radial gradient. "Mirror" function scales the image fifty percent and mirrors it into four quadrants. Both are non-destructive.
Layer Cake	Travis "TooLzor" Evashkevich	Free	Four tools: Offset selected layers, with options. Repeat last offset. Preview tiling. Seamless blurring. See the Polycount Forum thread (Photoshop script) Layer Cake - Multiple Layer Offsetting.
NDO Painter	Quixel	$49/$89/$349 (educational, indie, commercial)	Full featured toolkit for Normal maps. Convert, sculpt, combine, 3D preview. Windows/Mac, 32bit/64bit.
Normal Map Action Set	Will "sinistergfx" Fuller	Free	Rotation and normalize actions for working with Normal maps.
NVIDIA Photoshop Normal Map Filter	NVIDIA	Free	Convert a grayscale image into a Normal map or DuDvMap, many options available. Windows 32bit and 64bit.
Offset All Visible Layers PS7/CS/CS2 script	Emrah BAŞKAYA	Free	Offset always halfway, regardless of your canvas resolution. Works on all visible layers at once. Works with layer masks too. Prompts if you want to rasterize Type, Color Fill, Paths, etc. before offsetting them.
PhilipsActions	Philip 'PhilipK' Klevestav	Free	Five actions: Normal map overlay fix with the blue channel preserved, Normal map overlay fix with the blue channel killed, Flatten to new layer, Normalize, Sharpen. See the Polycount thread Material Tutorials: 8 Step By Step Tutorials and General Tips.
Perspective Tools	Sergey 'kritskiy' Kritskiy	Free	A panel or set of scripts for making vanishing points and orthogonal projections. See the Polycount forum thread Perspective tools for Photoshop.
psMaskSync	Chris 'passerby' Cunningham	Free	Syncs all Layerset masks which share the same name. Great for working with PBR materials, synchronizing all your Albedo, Roughness, and Metallic layers.
sdvOffset	Stefan David	Free	Script that offsets the current layer 50%.
sdvTile	Stefan David	Free	Script that expands the canvas 3x and repeats your texture across it.
Seamless Workshop	Redfield Plugins	Free	Filter that fixes tiling errors by blending along the edges.
Solidify	Flaming Pear Software	Free	Filters that fill the gutters between UVs (see Edge padding). It works on transparent pixels in the current Layer, so delete the gutters from the layer before running it. Also works best with hard-edged transparency.
Xnormal Photoshop filters	Santiago 'jogshy' Orgaz	Donationware	Five filters: Dilation (see EdgePadding), Height2Normals (see NormalMap), Height2Occlusion (see AmbientOcclusionMap), Normalize normal map, Normals2Cavity.
