Does anyone use Miranda plugins?

[Chunk]

I'm wondering if anyone here uses Fred Miranda's sharpening or noise plugins. If so, how do you like them and how do they compare to similar products that you've used. Thanks for any advice.

I use the Intellisharpen 2 and the Noise plug-in. They are very easy to use, and I really like the intellisharpen 2 because it doesn't make a copy of the file like the old plug-in.

It also has a reduce color noise built into the plug-in so you don't really need an additional plug-in. So far I use the plug-in mostly for web versions but I have used them for final print and was happy with it.

I have a bunch of them...well, a few anyway. I like the Velvia vision, intellisharpen, warm-cool filter, the web presenter, infrared converter, and also the bw converter. I suppose I could figure out the appropriate actions for photoshop, but I don't have the time and patience for automating and they wouldn't be as good as FM's plug-ins. The only other plug-in I've purchased for ps is noise-ninja, and that works really well. FM's plugins and actions are convenient, but I really don't use them much at all, but it's nice having when I do need them.

Thanks Loren. It looks like Intellisharpen 2 is the place to start.

Thanks Lionheart.
