Photoshop Filter Machine Wash Deluxe Released

Press Release
To create Machine Wash Deluxe, we started from scratch and rebuilt the Machine Wash plug-in from the ground up expanding and enhancing it every step of the way to create the most realistic and amazing effects we could imagine!
Most Requested New Features
For years customers have been suggesting new features and ideas to improve our plug-in and we listened!
* It’s Downloadable! – No need to wait a week for your new software to arrive now that you can order online and download right away!
* Texture Effect Picker with Live Preview – It’s now faster and easier to find and preview the perfect texture in real-time on your images without wading through every texture effect. You can also filter the effects by style and set name.
* Apply Wash Effect on Mask Layer – Now you can apply our popular Wash effect in the image mask layer allowing you to fine-tune the Wash effect while leaving the original image untouched*.
* Presets are Here! – Now you can create and save as many presets as your heart desires to recall your favorite plug-in effect settings. To help get you started we came up with plenty of our own factory presets to show off the rich new features of this plug-in!
New Plug-in Features
While most people know our plug-in for it’s amazing Wash effects, you’ll be amazed when you see our brand new Surface and Background effects!
* Introducing Surface Effects – Create dimensional surface effects with powerful and easy-to-use lighting and color control.
* Say ‘Goodbye’ to Heavy Cycle and ‘Hello’ to Background! – Now create realistic background images and effects with precision control and ease!
* Effect Multiplier – Don’t bother running the plug-in multiple times to combine effects, now you can create multiple image effects at once.
* Add Depth! – Now create, apply and adjust natural and realistic looking 3D textured depth perspective on all of your images.
* Link Effect Settings – Once you have created the ideal texture settings, sync the texture effect scaling and orientation throughout each tabbed section of the plug-in to make editing easy!

General Plug-in Improvements
Not only have we introduced plenty of new features but we made some existing features better than ever!
* Enhanced Previewing – With powerful new Preview window options, you can easily preview and edit just the image effect or a composited preview.
* Apply Effects in New Layers – Don’t worry about losing your original image when you can now generate filtered images in a new layer*.
* Better Texture Effects on Larger Images – We’ve improved texture resampling to retain even more texture detail when applied to larger images.
* Always up to Date – Auto-update makes sure you always have the latest version of the Machine Wash Deluxe plug-in on your machine.
* NOTE – Layer and Mask features are only supported in Adobe Photoshop and compatibles that support layers and masking functions.

    I’ve had these filters for YEARS and really enjoy them. My comment is mainly with the fact that once I had the disks, and now had to update the software via the website, there is always problems with accessing the plug-in. I have to ask the support team to unlock my access, or reset the registration number. And if you upgrade or switch computers you have to start all over with getting permission to download the plug-in you already paid for. It’s a pain the butt worse than the app store. The support on the web site is fairly fast but not on weekends or late evenings if you are on a tight deadline. Love it when it works!
