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. |
