Research and describe plug-ins and their usage in graphic design.

Plug-ins are software developed to work with another software that is already installed in the computer. They are basically add-on software that enhance a functionality of an existing software. These plug-ins can be used for different purposes based on which software they support. There can be plug-ins for search engines, audio-video players, photo-editing software, graphical design software, and more.

Plug-ins may be developed by the same company which developed the software that the plug-in is supposed to work with. It may also be developed by independent developers who just want to solve or add an element to the existing features of a software.

Plug-ins are mostly free and are released after the target software is tested and released.

Plug-ins offer a lot of assistance in graphical design. It works with the design software for adding or enhancing affects and styles to the original work. Some of the functions that popular plug-in software provide are:

• to improve color, sharpness, and focus (perspective) of the images

• to create (and enhance) natural lighting effects within the image

• to sharpen or define (emphasize) particular parts of the image

• create motion blur

• change point-of-focus of the image

• alter the level of opacity of brushes

• alter the size of brush strokes (different from the ones that already exist)

• Control and enhance the intensity of dark areas in an image

• eliminate distortion due to camera shake

• create metallic edges for elements in the image

• introduce mood and blended contrast effects
