A collective set of Photoshop Plug-ins, Extensis PhotoTools 2.0.2 for
Macintosh features seven productivity tools for Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4
and higher.

> Aimed at less experienced users of Adobe Photoshop, Extensis
> PhotoTools 2.0 helps you create a variety of special effects.
> Photoshop pros may decide that many of the effects are just as easy
> to create without a separate plug-in, but more-mainstream users
> should find at least a few of the filters useful in day-to-day
> production work.
>
> PhotoTools 2.0 lets you access its filters not only via a new menu
> it adds to Photoshop but also through the customizable PhotoBars it
> places in Photoshop's tool palettes. These iconic commands can
> trigger any Photoshop menu command, open files within Photoshop,
> open specific folders in the Finder, and bring the Finder to the
> foreground. Given that Adobe replaced the Commands palette with the
> less straightforward Actions palette in version 4.0, advanced
> Photoshop users will find PhotoBars a welcome addition.
