Still doing the hiatus thing, but adding a general resource post on plugin filters, for those who might be interested.
These are all FREE plugins that you can use in Paint Shop Pro (they work in my PSP7 and PSP X/XI) as well as Photoshop. A number of these have randomized setting, and you can keep refreshing the view while exploring different effects. If you find something you really like, you can usually save it and load it for later use.
Sometimes, filter effects can add a little something extra to icons or other graphics projects. Just follow the installation instructions for your program after downloading.

Xero Graphics
These examples show Xero Graphics greytinter, illustrator, lithograph, and nostalgia filters.
These show Xero Graphics alien mist, illustrator, pasteliser, porcelain, soft mood, duochrome, radiance, and nostalgia filters.
Flaming Pear's Freebies (fixed the link!)
These examples all use the Kyoto Color filter, which is part of the freebie package you can download at Flaming Pear. Editing to make this clearer: only the product I linked to is free. The other products on that page are commercial. It's the download that says Free Plugins / Ornament, ChromaSolarize, Tachyon, Ghost, Solidify, Vitriol, RGB/HSL, Circle to Square, Make Cube Tile...
PhotoFreebies
PhotoFreebies has a nice b/w conversion filter, a desaturation gradient filter that can go L to R, R to L, top to bottom, and bottom to top, and a sepia filter with various settings.
Harry's Filters
Lots of colorizing, b/w, and noise options. No examples for this one, though. :)
Edited to add other freebies:
-- Auto FX Software's Dreamy Photo plugin -- the plugin is free, but you will need an activation key to use it.
-- You can also find some free plugins at Cybia.
-- The baby version of BladePro is called Primus, and can be downloaded here. It's free, but offers less features.
-- This site offers a rather odd little plugin that makes retro dots.
-- And there's a few freebie plugins at Redfield.
-- Download a free, fully functional version of Alien Skin's Eye Candy 3.

It's a zip file of a bunch of filters, some of them kinda useless, but it includes Kyoto Color and Pixel Trash, and the rather interesting Zombie filter.
All the other filters listed there are commercial, yes. I've bought Super BladePro, Aetherize, Melancholytron, Mr Contrast, and Flood.
FWIW, a lot of the commercial sites will offer freebies mixed with the to buy products.
Happy 4th of July!
And I love them all! I can't decide which to take... O_O
I friended you, so I can at least remember where I got the brushes, and once I start using them, will mention you in my profile ^^
WOW. I just love all your icon masks. Especially the borders. Now I've found yours I can stop using the same ones over and over again lol.
But I also liked a lot of other stuff, I think I downloaded 30 sets already lol, and by the looks of the I'm not done. I love how you give examples with your posts :) Thanks a bunch and I hope it's ok that I friend you, cause I wouldn't want to miss an update (although I see you're on hiatus and I wish you all the best with what you're doing). Thanks again!!!
