Answer:
Plug-ins are software developed to work with another software that is already installed in the computer. They are basically add-on software that enhance a functionality of an existing software. These plug-ins can be used for different purposes based on which software they support. There can be plug-ins for search engines, audio-video players, photo-editing software, graphical design software, and more.
Plug-ins may be developed by the same company which developed the software that the plug-in is supposed to work with. It may also be developed by independent developers who just want to solve or add an element to the existing features of a software.
Plug-ins are mostly free and are released after the target software is tested and released.
Plug-ins offer a lot of assistance in graphical design. It works with the design software for adding or enhancing affects and styles to the original work. Some of the functions that popular plug-in software provide are:
• to improve color, sharpness, and focus (perspective) of the images
