Photoshop is made even more powerful by adding extra filters to create stunning effects. There are a lot already included with PS5.5, but you can download over 1,000 more filters from sites such as at

Select the Photoshop default filters and see what effects you can add
Photoshop 5.5 Default Filters
3rd Party Filters
You can get these filters from http://www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/adobepc.htm
DO NOT TRY AND LOAD ALL THE FILTERS AT ONCE AS YOU WILL RUN OUT OF MEMORY AND FILL UP THE MENU. ONLY LOAD THE FILTERS YOU WANT.
Remove those filters that you do not want or that do not work as this will free up disk space and memory (I removed the 113 filters from the filter factory that are PC Only and saved 11Mb!)
