PS Plug-in

I am thinking about getting a plug-in for PS CC. I shoot mostly landscape and wildlife. What are some good ones to look at, and which is it best to avoid? I use a Canon 7D Mark ll and 6D Mark ll. Any and all will be appreciated. Thanks.

There are many choices and a "good one..." depends upon what you want. Any of the plug-ins can work just fine with your images, learning to use them, as is often the case with software, is the difficult part. I use Topaz, ON1, Luminar and a few others. What I use depends upon what my intent with each specific image is. Additionally, I use background images bought from a company called Fly Paper.

ON1 is a great plug in and comes as a standalone also; you might find yourself using it a lot....

Plug-ins don't really do much more than you could accomplish using what's available in PS by itself.

I am an advanced PS user but I still use plugins for various adjustments. It makes it much faster than doing it in ps.

I do some creative images and the Topaz pluggins really work well.

I primarily use Topaz Adjust for landscapes.
30 day free trial.

If you are using them as a starting point, they make a lot of sense.

ON! has an amazing haze filter I find essential for landscape images.

The free version of NIK can be found below but it's not supported anymore. It will get your feet wet and costs nothing. It can be also purchased from DxO but I'd recommend the free version first to see if it meets your needs.

Installer for Windows [430 MB]" http://dl.google.com/edgedl/photos/nikcollection-full-1.2.11.exe
Installer for Mac [590 MB]: http://dl.google.com/edgedl/photos/nikcollection-full-1.2.11.dmg
