Flaming Pear Software today started shipping Flaming Pear Essentials. Launched last month, the collection of nine Photoshop filters was previously only available in Australia. Individual plugins in the collection include:

• Aetherize gives pictures a dreamy look and can also add acidic colors to an image.
• BladePro (pictured, middle) adds bevels and metallic textures and reflections to images. Read our review of BladePro here.
• Glare (pictured, bottom) floods a picture with bright light.
• India Ink converts color images to black and white halftones. Its color modes produce etched effects.
• Lacquer (pictured, top) coats an image in metallic, transparent or prismatic resin.
• Silver adds a silvery sheen to images.
• Solar Cell creates fantasy suns.
• Swerve distorts shapes into curves or fractal blotches.
• Twist can churn images into a swirling mass or smear them beyond recognizability.

All of the plugins are customizable, with some including up to 13 user-programmable settings.

Flaming Pear Essentials is available now for $99. On the Mac platform, it supports Adobe Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint, Macromedia Fireworks, Macromedia xRes, Adobe Illustrator, Deneba Canvas, Painter and Art Dabbler. For more information, visit http://www.flamingpear.com.
