 The Adobe Pixel Bender plug-in is now available as a free download. According to Adobe, the plug-in provides “automatic runtime optimization on heterogeneous hardware" to run Photoshop filters faster.
Says Adobe:
"Pixel Bender is best suited for the kind of algorithms in which processing of any pixel has minimum dependence on the values of other pixels. For example, you can efficiently write a kernel to manipulate brightness of the image because brightness of each pixel can be changed independently. You would not want to use Pixel Bender to compute a histogram, because a histogram requires the values of all the pixels in an image."

 Jon Canfield from the Photography Blog reviews the Fluid Mask 3 from Vertus Software that is available both as a plug-in and as a stand-alone application. Fluid Mask’s main task is to make cutting or extracting parts of an image without any slick maneuvering.
Version 3 was found to be more intuitive and easy to use and works flawlessly with Photoshop/ The additions of Patch tools, Global brush, and the on board Protect option simplify the process further. Though the application does take a little time of getting used to it, over all its quite a good investment says Canfield.
