[photoshop-beginners] Free photoshop plug in

This is from Kim Komando news letter today.  I downloaded and installed in CS4.  Not sue if I will use it but someone may find it useful.  I installed it in the plug-ins/filters folder of CS4  and it works fine. The link is at the bottom of the message.

Touch up your digital photos   Photo-editing programs offer countless ways to touch up snapshots. You can alter colors, lighting and more to turn photos from bland to breathtaking. However, photo editors present a steep learning curve. Faced with numerous options, you may not know where to start. Even practiced photographers may be confounded by software. virtualPhotographer makes it easy to add professional effects to your digital photos. It's a collection of filters that plugs into editing programs such as Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. The filters allow you to add polish to your snapshots without learning hundreds of menu options. With virtualPhotographer, you can simulate the look of different types of film and film speeds. You can instantly apply tints, such as blue for night shots. You can also fade shots to black & white or anywhere between. Many of virtualPhotographer's presets bear descriptive titles. For example, Reminiscing turns photos black & white and adds softness to the lighting. Dreamy adds an ethereal glow to ordinary scenes. Landscape revives colors washed out by bright sunlight. You can customize virtualPhotographer's presets to your tastes. When you first run virtualPhotographer, it will create a folder including all its necessary files. However, your editing program still needs to know where to access those files. For Photoshop, copy and paste virtualPhotographer's folder into Photoshop's Plug-Ins folder. Look for the following location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-Ins If you have Photoshop CS, you'll see a Filters folder inside the Plug-Ins folder. Open the Filters folder and place the virtualPhotographer folder inside. In Paint Shop Pro, click File>>Preferences. Select File Locations. For the file type, select Plug-ins. Then click Add. Browse to the location of virtualPhotographer's folder. Select the folder and click OK. After you've installed virtualPhotographer, close and re-open your photo-editing program.
