Free Photoshop Plugins
Freepacks are free Photoshop plugins based on the Filter Forge technology. Each freepack is centered around a different theme. Freepacks are distributed free of charge and don't have any time limitations. All filters included in the freepacks are also available from the Filter Library, so users of commercial Filter Forge can benefit from them as well.
Filter Forge Freepack 1 – Metals
A set of seven photorealistic metal textures and effects. Metallizing effects, alien-looking or industrial metallic surfaces, rust or aluminum foil, and more – all filters are fully adjustable and support seamless tiling.
Filter Forge Freepack 2 – Photo Effects
A set of seven photo enhancing effects. Give your photos a sunny style, apply grunge look or color tints, age the image, and more – all filters are fully adjustable and resolution-independent.
Filter Forge Freepack 3 – Frames
A set of seven filters that create frames for your photos. Apply a realistic painted wooden frame or a vignette, give your photos a classic elegant feel or a ragged harsh look, and more.
Filter Forge Freepack 4 – Distortions
A set of seven filters that can reshape, distort and deform the source image in various creative ways. The filters can break the image into abstract fragments, generate bubbly effects, apply waves or ripples, and more.
Filter Forge Freepack 5 – Hearts
A set of seven filters that can generate heart shapes and effects. The filters create layered hearts, heart-shaped frames, vignettes, backgrounds, and more.
Filter Forge Freepack 6 – Patterns
A set of nine filters that can generate patterns and backgrounds. Seamless and resolution-independent tartan, ripples, wrapping paper, pins, and more.

“Filter Forge is an incredibly powerful new Photoshop Plugin. It's simply amazing. It gives you the power to create your own filters (you must run them from inside Filter Forge though) without any programming knowledge at all.”

“It's a powerful and logical way of creating effects that's relatively easy to learn by seeing how other effects are built. Creating filters from scratch is time-consuming, but for a wider user group, it's a great way to modify already-created effects.”
