Pixel Sorter for Photoshop 4.2.14 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesPixel sorting rearranges the rows or columns of an image by brightness or colour, so solid areas stretch into long streaks while edges stay readable. Pixel Sorter for Photoshop, from Pixel Sorter Studio and sold through aescripts, brings that effect into Photoshop as an interactive plugin. You work on your actual image, watch the result update as you adjust it, and build glitch style artwork in place.
Key Features
- Sorts pixels by brightness, hue or other values into long flowing streaks
- Fully interactive inside Photoshop, with the effect updating as you work
- Direction and length controls for horizontal, vertical and angled sorting
- Threshold controls that keep parts of the image clean while others melt
- Works on photos, type and graphics for posters, covers and social artwork

System Requirements
Pixel Sorter runs inside Adobe Photoshop on macOS, so a current Photoshop install is required. Large images sort faster on Apple Silicon Macs with more memory.
FAQs
What is pixel sorting?
It is a glitch art technique where pixels are reordered by value along lines, so areas stretch into streaks with a melted digital look.
Can I protect part of a photo from the effect?
Threshold and range controls let you limit where sorting happens, so a face or logo can stay mostly intact while the background breaks up around it.
Is this the same tool as the video version?
It shares the same core features as the Pixel Sorter video plugin, but this edition is built for still images and works interactively inside Photoshop itself.
