onOne has announced two new digital imaging software plug-ins - PhotoTools and PhotoTools Professional Edition. onOne Software's new PhotoTools is a flexible yet powerful new Photoshop plug-in that utilizes the power of Photoshop Actions to provide a wide range of imaging tools including effects, corrections and production automation in a full-featured interface. PhotoTools allows users to preview effects individually or combined/stacked together in a layer-like configuration as well as save their favorite combinations as presets to be used in the future.
"Whether a user is new to photography or an experienced professional, they will appreciate the range of authentic camera, filter and darkroom techniques that can be easily replicated with PhotoTools," said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. "Working with well-known and respected photographers and educators Jack Davis and Kevin Kubota, we have been able to reproduce their signature Photoshop techniques with the simplicity of a single click that users are sure to appreciate. Every photographer and graphic artist will enjoy having onOne PhotoTools in their Photoshop effects plug-in collection for it's versatile range of creative effects and the simplicity of finding and applying these effects to their images."
"I've spent the last 20 years creating and teaching techniques and effects that strengthen, extend and accelerate the digital side of the creative communication process," said Photoshop Guru and Instructor Jack Davis. "PhotoTools is the culmination of that time and energy. The power of Photoshop - distilled for high octane, streamlined productivity! That's what you call WOW!"
"I'm a true believer in Photoshop Actions and I didn't think they could really be improved upon, but PhotoTools Professional Edition has taken my Actions to the next level - it's even easier and more fun," said Photoshop Guru, Instructor and Wedding Photographer Kevin Kubota. "It's like Actions on steriods. I love it."
About PhotoTools and PhotoTools Professional Edition
PhotoTools and PhotoTools Professional Edition will faithfully reproduce camera filters like neutral density, color correction and polarization as well as darkroom techniques and alternative processes like solarization, cyanotype and palladium printing as well as many paper toners. PhotoTools even includes cinema looks popularized by Hollywood movies.
Users can preview their chosen effect in PhotoTools before applying it, and they can also stack multiple effects on top of each other just like they would camera filters. Users can control the order of each effect and how they blend together for a truly unique look. In addition, these effects stacks can be saved so users can repeat them easily in the future.
Once a user has created their own signature look, they can use PhotoTools' powerful batch processing engine to apply their look to an entire folder of images enabling them to vastly speed up their production with the ability to batch process files with multiple output formats of differing sizes, color spaces, names and even watermarks.
onOne Software's new PhotoTools includes over 150 effects, corrections and styles that were designed in conjunction with Professional Photographer, Photoshop Guru and Instructor Jack Davis. This version of PhotoTools is available for a retail price of $159.95 (see below for an exclusive discount code).
onOne Software's PhotoTools Professional Edition (retail price of $259.95) features an additional 100 effects beyond the base version of PhotoTools. These additional effects were created by Jack Davis and Professional Photographer, Creator of Kubota Artistic Tools Photoshop Actions and Digital Photography Bootcamp Instructor Kevin Kubota.

SiteGrinder 2 - Photoshop Plugin
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder 2 seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, this program turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder 2, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.
Generate Your Web Pages Directly From Photoshop
By generating web pages directly from Photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. No more going back to the Photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. You can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.
Pricing and Availability
Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. SiteGrinder 2 can be ordered from Media Lab's online store.
