FilterFormula Plug-ins (Windows version)
This is the download page of my FilterFormula filters. Please do not mix the FilterFormula by ATS/Graphics to the simple FilterFactory plugin (by Adobe) that ships with Photoshop. FilterFormula is a very powerful yet affordable filter creation tool.
An example FilterFormula user interface.
Using FilterFormula Efficiently
Please read the page about using the FilterFormula efficiently, there are some issues that you need to be aware and the most important accelerators are explained.
The DeepSpace FilterFormula filters
DeepSpace filters are created with a new version of the FilterFormula/ATS filter engine that enables filtering in the higher bit-depth mode in Photoshop. It is also enhanced in many other aspects over the version 1.12. DeepSpace filters work both in the 15-bit/channel and in the 8-bit/channel modes of Photoshop.

| Filter | Short Description |
| Transfer Functions | Useful in creating density masks and in dynamic range conversions. |
| Despeckle | Noise reduction by blurring adaptively according to standard deviation of the current kernel area. |
| Rank Replace | Noise reduction by histogram ranking, replaces the center pixel if out of the selected rank with the nearest rank boundary. |
| Tonality | Provides the click on gray gray-balancing and setting the RGB composite blackpoint and whitepoint. |
| Bit-Slice |
Provides a very good way to visualize the noise level of an image and allows to round an image up to the specified bit-depth. |
| Gamma | The gamma filter applies the accurate gamma transfer function (with proper rounding) in the range of 1...4 and the inverse of that. |
| Density |
Provides density conversion, can be useful in creating a density mask. This filter provides more consistency and/or easiness to the density conversion compared to the manual work using curves dialog. |
| Space Hunter |
Useful as the first step in editing images of unknown working space and generally for hue, saturation and white-balance corrections. Provides gamma control, color temperature correction either by correlated color-temperature slider in Kelvin or by gray sampling using a probe, color-space conversion, saturation and hue adjustment. |
| USM | UnSharpMask filter. |

the filters are Windows versions

Older FilterFormula filters
The below plugins only work in the 8-bit/channel mode. They are tested with Photoshop but may possible work with some other Adobe plug-in compatible host software.
