Earlier this month, Luminar introduced Flex, a plugin that brings Luminar tools to third-party apps. The Luminar team also did a little research to see what plugins for Photoshop are currently available on the market. As a result, they have come up with this extensive list of Photoshop plugins. The team has collected over 100 different plugins you might find useful, no matter if you’re a photographer, retoucher, designer or do any other creative work in Photoshop. You can check them out below and choose those that you think would work best for you.
This list covers different types of plugins, from photo editing and noise reduction, to those that work with icons, fonts or mockups. Since it covers more than 100 items, the Luminar team numbered them and organized them into two main groups: plugins for photographers and plugins for designers. Within these two groups, they have sorted plugins based on their purpose. In addition, you can read a short description of each, and see its price.
So, without any further ado, here’s the complete list. If there’s something you’d add, feel free to share it in the comments below. For photographers (1-53)
