McFilters - Set of nine Photoshop-compatible plug-in filters
McFilters is a set of nine Photoshop-compatible plug-in filters, which allow you to apply various effects to your images.

The McFilters package opens a new era of Photoshop plug-ins! What makes it different from others, is that it intensively uses information from the selection mask in a cool and unique ways to modulate filter parameters. That's why the "Mc" in the name of the package stands for "Mask Controlled".

Using the selection mask for adjusting filter parameters opens infinite possibilities for creating extraordinary effects, which were hard or even impossible to achieve in any other way.

The filters are: McBlur, McCells, McGel, McScatter, McSharpen, McBackLightGlow, McLens, McMotionBlur and McTwirl.

Main features of McFilters:

  • VERSATILITY OF USE: While some of the McFilters create extraordinary effects, many of them can be used as generic image processing tools, powered up with speed, controls, and sensitivity to the selection mask! In other words, it's very likely that you have found yourself in a situation in which you could have done better if you had used them!
  • ABSOLUTE CONTROL: Along with a number of controls, you can use the selection mask to modulate the filter parameters on the per-pixel level!
  • BLAZING SPEED: You won't believe your eyes when you see what can be done in real-time! No matter how complex the effects are, each McFilter displays a fast real-time preview!
  • SUPERB QUALITY: Fast and precise rendering routines ensure the highest quality outputs! We simply do not allow any compromises with the perfect rendering of the final effects!
  • INFINITE POSSIBILITIES: McFilters offer so many controls, options and ways of use, that just when you think you have discovered all the possibilities, you will find that there is a whole lot more!
  • USER INTERFACE: All controls are nicely placed and easily accessible from the elegant user interface!
  • COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION: McFilters come with the manual in PDF format, even reachable from the filters' dialogs! The manual describes all the controls and features in detail, and contains numerous examples.
