LightShadow: A new Photoshop plugin exclusively for PhotoCamel members! - PhotoCamel

Paul Shields · 04-09-2007

As it's Easter our plugin maestro Rense has had time to develop another free plugin. This one is called LightShadow.

With it you can adapt separately the shadow, midtone and hightone areas of an image. Use it for B/W conversions, splittoning and image enhancement. You install the plugin in the normal way - i.e. copying the files to your Photoshop/Elements plugin directory. A PDF file is included to help explain some of the processing involved.

A usual please thank Rense best by posting your conversions on this forum (and giving him the odd Karma

).

You can access this plugin via the downloads directory: http://www.photocamel.com/forum/local_links.php

Happy Easter!

Here's my first stab at using it after all of 5 minutes or so. It's quite a deep plugin as per usual from Rense, but one thing that impressed me immediately was how easy it is to do posterisation effects. Very yummy

.

I'm sure this is just scratching the surface, so post any interesting efforts here!

Rense · 04-09-2007

Thanks for setting this up Paul.

The conversion you've made is really good and something I didn't know off.
Thanks for that!

Rense · 04-11-2007

To give another example what you can do with this plugin.

From a rather dull picture to a colurfull image in just 4 clicks:

Paul Shields · 04-11-2007

Wow - love the plasma effect on this. Psychedelic

.

azrussell132 · 04-13-2007

Very cool effect.

Rense · 04-14-2007

Thanks azrusell132.
You can pickup the plugin for free, experiment with it, and show the results here.

Thanks, Rense, for this plugin. Here are a few of the many samples I've made, starting with the original image (cropped) to show the possibilities.

jenix,
Fine examples!

JDArt · 05-06-2007

Lovely plugin. Thanks!

Rense · 05-06-2007

Show us your conversions JDArt.

LampyB · 11-01-2007

i'm not really down with this plugin...you can do the same thing using several other filters, or through a combination of filter + over saturation. when would you use this anyway?

Rense · 11-01-2007

It is the combination of setting three ranges of masks and convert them to B/W.
See the final section of the manual for more info.

W.Smith · 12-11-2007

Shame it's Windows only.

I'm a latecomer to this discussion.but seeing as how 95% of my photography has been with B&W film, I find these very useful. Thank you.
