Helo everyone,

Im was wondering if there is a photoshop plugin or downloadable preset actions for manipulating images. What I would like to do is be able to input a few images into a process and for the package to create fractal-like layers, mask layers, transparent layers, some rotation or effecting an mix these up into a colage that still represent the theme of the images I inputed.
I know many programs allow you to do this manually but Im looking for a fairly random process,that is quick, and mainly for still images, for 'holds' in music.


thanks

general solution : many VJ-softwares have functions to generate random numbers to control different parameters. You could put random video inputs, connected to random effects, with random parameters, and record the output or use that software render to movie option if it has one. Then, select your favorite frames from this movie to create your still images. Some softwares also have the option of capturing the output to a still picture - which you could do live while watching the output in real-time or you could even let the software take pictures at random times.

personal solution : If I had to do that I would use visualJokcey as it has all the required features and I have it but I suppose a lot of other VJ softwares have similar tools to provide similar results.
