Hue and Cry

Hue and Cry is a plugin developed for Adobe Photoshop users that would like to generate random colorized abstract content and integrate it into their projects. It can come in handy for users that are interested in photo manipulation or graphic designers.

Since it is not a standalone component, installing it on the target computer and executing it as well require a host application, in this case, Adobe Photoshop. Deploying it can be done by unpacking the archive it comes packed in and placing the contents in the Plug-Ins folder of Adobe Photoshop. Usually, the folder can be found in C:Program FilesAdobe PhotoshopPlug-Ins.

It is worth mentioning that the application needs to be closed when installing the plugin or restarted afterward so that the component can be loaded as intended. After installation, the plugin can be accessed via the Plugins category from the Effects menu.

Hue and Cry's main window provides users with two sections, a form and a color one. Each of them shelters a handful of adjustable slider bars that enable users to customize their content according to their needs. Users can modify settings for overlapping, softness, warping, complexity, zoom, color, hue, stripes, doublure, stripe kind and merging type. Randomizing the result can be done by clicking the dice button.
