Photoshop Plugin Spotlight: AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2

AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 is an extremely high quality, powerful and flexible Adobe® Photoshop® filter plug-in (8bf). It works with either image editing application (host) that supports Adobe’s specification for Photoshop® plugins (8bf).

This plug-in has the ALL NEW and unrivalled engine that lets you not only bend the image, using two types of bending (curling and folding), but also texturize it (using the bump maps), orient it in 3D space (including the perspective distortions) and obtain total control over the process of lighting the image (including the option of dropping inner shadows).

We consider AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 as the multi-purpose plug-in that may be used not only as the page bender, but also as the Texturizer, Lighting lab, etc.

The User Interface of AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 is extremely convenient and has some unique features that make your work with the plug-in both very efficient and pleasant at the same time.

New in version 2.2:

• FULL compatibility with Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4 (Mac OS X and Windows 32 bit), including support of the Smart Filters and Video Layers (for PS CS3/CS4 Extended) options of this host!
• Mac version of AV Bros. Page Curl Pro 2.2 is now Universal application and therefore can be successfully used on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers.
• User interface enhancements – now you can reach the Define menu for either page sides’ content or bump maps’ content by right-clicking your mouse (or Mac: Ctrl+Click) on the appropriate Content’s preview areas. Plus, a mouse double click on the page sides’ content preview areas calls the Color Picker window of the host.
• Improved performance.

Difference between the PRO and the “Regular” versions:

• The Multi-bend option: the ability to create several bends within the single session of the plug-in.
• The ability to orient the page in 3D including adjustable perspective.
• The ability to specify the Limit of the page turn and as a result the ability to create the “non-complete” page curling effect.
• The ability to make the bent part of the page to be cut into the remaining part of the page.
• The ability to use the Advanced Lighting mode for obtaining the total control over the process of lighting the page.
• The ability to drop the Inner Shadows with adjustable Opacity and Size.
• The ability to texturize either side of the page by using the grayscale images (called Bump Maps), with which you can manipulate inside the plug-in.
• Multi-level Undo option.
