One of the most fun aspects of web design is doing the graphics work. And playing with graphics filters and plugins is one of the most fun aspects of doing the graphics work. Though I use three graphics programs, since each has different strengths and weaknesses in their tools, the one thing they all share is the ability to use filters. There are some awesome pay filters, and I do use some of them, but it’s amazing how many free filters are out there. And used in combination they can give incredible scope to your graphics toolchest, whether you’re using PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro, Fireworks, or almost any other graphics programs. Where do you find those cool free filters? Here are some of my favorite places to snag free graphics filters and plugins:

The Plugin Site (snag Plugin Commander Lite while you’re here, for filter conversions.)
More from The Plugin site (Kang’s are among my faves)
Telegraphics
Grafomaniac (an OLD page with some broken links but well worth digging through for buried treasure.)
Free Photoshop
Website Tips

Enjoy!
