Nuremberg, Germany (December 28th, 2000) - Harald Heim Software (http://www.thepluginsite.com) is pleased to announce Version 1.51 of Plugin Commander. Plugin Commander Pro is a tool for dealing with various image formats and plug-ins from dozens of image, animation, video and 3D applications. Hundreds of useful functions are available for this purpose.

New in Version 1.51

Besides some bug fixes, dialog enhancements and a smaller setup, the latest version supports the plug-ins included with Adobe Photoshop 6. That means that you are able to execute them, preview their effects and apply them to images directly within Plugin Commander Pro.

Manage and preview your plug-ins comfortably

Plugin Commander enables you to control which plug-ins are displayed in your host application. Support for more than 30 different plug-in types (especially Photoshop-compatible, Premiere and After Effects plug-ins) is provided as well as the possibility of defining your own plug-in types. You can make Photoshop-compatible and After Effects plug-ins display anywhere in the Filter menu and see a simulation of Photoshop`s Filter menu. The effects of Photoshop-compatible and some Premiere plug-ins are calculated in real-time and preview images of other plug-in types can be viewed. These previews are shown in the preview window, the thumbnail browser or the Picture Editor.

Apply and convert plug-ins and images easily

You can apply Photoshop-compatible plug-ins directly to images within Plugin Commander to create most interesting image effects. You can either process one image at a time in the Picture Editor or use the Batch dialog to apply a series of image effects to a list of images. Additionally, the Batch dialog can convert between different image formats, but also resize and rename images at the same time. Furthermore, Plugin Commander can convert among four Filter Factory plug-in formats and Operating Systems: Photoshop, Premiere, Windows and Macintosh.

Dozens of other useful features

At any rate, Plugin Commander offers a variety of other remarkable possibilities. For example, it allows you to edit your images, archive thousands of free Filter Factory plug-ins, create your own plug-ins with the Filter Factory Editor and manage your files. It is flexible and partly skinable interface makes it easy and effective to use. The caching and multithreading technology add greatly to the speed of performing various tasks.

Availability and System Requirements

Plugin Commander is available for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT and 2000. Plugin Commander sells at a very reasonable price of $49.95 and can be purchased from http://www.plugincommander.com.
