PS: new panel for my filters

[DDD]

Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party plug in or a way to have a tool panel for my filters so I dont have to go to the filters menu? Kinda like how John Dunning has the Extensions panel fo FWMX.

In CS there is the filter gallery.

but is that a tear away panel simp? you still have to go into filters to get there right? ...

not sure DDD but mate thats a bloody good idea, first thing i thought of was using the full screen mode there a arrow (only pc) is on the tools bar and you can select filter from there. but still need to go to filter then select your filter... hmm

True true... I just figured he didn't want to go threw the traditional list of crap in the filters menu. Wasn't really sure.

Well, there are two addons, Adobe Photoshop Interface Improver (http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Authors/Interface__Improvement.html - the link has almost the same thing for Illustrator, Freehand etc) and Photoshop Interface Assistant (http://www.drivermagician.com/pia.htm). I haven't tried them myself, but you might wanna take a look at them.

man arent they old school, i remember they were around when photoshop 5.0 came out, lol..

edit: dont think those apps do the filter thing though..

You could just make "Actions" where certain F keys call certain filters, then display the Actions palette as Buttons.

Yea I was thinking about a tear off panel.. I have a project where I have to use filters repeatedly at varying strengths and it is plain irritating to keep going filters-->filter--->. FW has an extension to make them a panel. I was hoping maybe someone along the way has developed something like that. I think it would be a good idea.

you could use this, or you could just press tab and get the same results....

hey DDD if your using the same filter but you just want to get its option box up instead of just applying the same strength filter amount you do have a shortcut to activate the last used filters option box,

filter option box reuse:
clt- alt-f .

filter fade option box:
ctl - shift - f

i will try that.....Still would be better to have the ability to have a panel that lists all your filters.

Thx man
