Tiffen DFX Suite, version 2

There are a lot of Photoshop plug-ins out there, but not all of them are especially useful to photographers. Because Photoshop services so many different professions, a lot of plug-ins are designed to create the types of effects and functions that graphic designers, scientists, or filmmakers need. Fortunately, there are also packages like the Tiffen DFX Suite, version 2, a collection of Photoshop plugins that mimics many of the filtering and lighting effects that were traditionally performed with screw-on filters and light modifiers. Given that Tiffen is one of the leading manufacturers of glass filters, it should be no surprise that they’ve created a collection of filters that add real-world filtering effects to your digital workflow.

Running the gamut from color filters, to graduated filters, to digital versions of Tiffen standbys such as ProMist, the DFX suite is available in plug-in form for Photoshop and Aperture, or as a stand-alone app. Given the price difference, you’ll want to consider your workflow needs carefully.
