Need help with Plug-Ins - fritscho - 01-05-2026

Hello,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to programming and stuff like that, so I need your help...

Here's the problem: I have a picture with 4 irisses (as in example). I want to attach effects like dissolve in sand und crash-effects with lightning. I guess, I nedd some plugins to do this und to vary the parameters for the effects.

Are there some effects / plugins, I can use and / or download for this? I already tried it with the of ChatGPT & Co, but all in all it didn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I see no example in your post. Maybe you mean something like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CblydP791Uw ?

Hi,

nope, I want the effects as it is in my example picture. The Irisses (hope it's the right word) shuld dissolve on the edges into something sand-like. The example is ai-generated, but I want to do the effects on my own photo.

It's very simple. Just use the right color, brush (here sponge 02), and dynamics (see screendump). For best results, use paths, edit them with the brush, and check "Simulate brush dynamics."

Thanks for this hint, I'll try.
