A plugin for Adobe Photoshop that allows you to build your own filters.
The second stage of the beta test of Filter Forge 4.0 is now available! The new beta includes support for loop operations that provide new ways to create textures and effects – learn more and grab the beta on the Beta Page.
A visual node-based editor lets you create visual effects and procedural textures.
A free online repository of filters submitted by Filter Forge users. Contributors can earn a free copy of Filter Forge.
Most filters in Filter Forge support seamless tiling, even for non-square textures.
Filter Forge can generate diffuse, bump, specular and normal maps – all are anti-aliased and most are seamlessly tiled.
As all filters are generated procedurally, any filter can be rendered in any resolution without losing a detail.
We are excited to offer cooperation to computer artists, graphic software authors, bloggers, online store owners and all Filter Forge lovers. We are open to all forms of partnership.

“It's a powerful and logical way of creating effects that's relatively easy to learn by seeing how other effects are built. Creating filters from scratch is time-consuming, but for a wider user group, it's a great way to modify already-created effects.”
