Plugs 'N Pixels, image creation, manipulation and education

     Since 2005, the free Plugs ’n Pixels ezine has been a source of creative inspiration. Each issue contains tutorials and news about the latest Photoshop-compatible plug-ins and standalone digital imaging and related apps.

Plugs ’n Pixels is now using the more relevant blogging format to present the information formerly offered in the ezines.
