There are also several threads in the Miscellaneous section of the XnView forums dedicated to these plug-ins.

A wonderful plugin: SMARTCURVE:

after that you can read here how to make your photo look like made on Velvia analog film:

best regards,
Harald

Keep in mind that the color depth of an image has to be increased to 32-bit mode for the following plug-ins to work with XnView.

• Mark McLaren
  • Mac's filters » Remove White
    “Make white pixels transparent, partially white pixels partially transparent. Good for illustrations.”
• Etsuro Design
  • Eliminate White
    “Eliminate White filter is a Photoshop plug-in filter that generates transparency in a layer based on the ‘whiteness’ of each pixel color. This is useful when you want to ‘peel’ an image off the white background and put it on an independent layer. It's also useful for creating interesting effects. This filter separates even gradient fills to white or feathered edges.”
• Joe Cilinceon & Dave Corboy
  • Free Stuff » Eliminate Black
• Red Prince
  • Whitewash
    “Red Prince Whitewash is a plug-in containing a simple version of the luma key effect. It uses the same algorithm as Etsuro Endo’s popular Eliminate White filter, but is written in assembly language. Source code is included.”
• Yves Poissant (see also: Transparency — Straight vs. premultiplied alpha)
  • Demultiply
  • De-Transparent
• David Blend
  “The two ‘Transparent Sky’ plugins replace bright or dark image areas with transparency for making composite images.”
  • Transparent Sky - Bright
  • Transparent Sky - Dark
• Flaming Pear
  • Ghost
    “Create a smoked-glass look by changing brightness to transparency.”
• Cybia
  • The Works » AlphaWorks
    “AlphaWorks quickly removes black or white values and making the region transparent. There are 6 different options, depending on the type of image you are working on (colour photo, mono photo, lineart).”
  • Chromagic
    “Chromagic allows you to select a single colour in your image and make the area transparent. Ideal for extracting simple ‘green screen’ backgrounds, ready to replace them with more complex backdrops.”
• Mehdi
  • Eraser Classic
    “Eraser Classic allows to erase easily a given colour. A typical use: activate the eyedropper, select the colour directly in the preview window, and adjust tolerance.”
  • Eraser Genuine
    “Eraser Genuine modifies image transparency according to two criteria: a colour you wish to erase and a colour you wish to protect. So, this plugin is particulary suitable for images where two colours oppose clearly.”
• Mikeal Simburger & Yael Martiz
  • KillWhite
    “Kill White is a Photoshop Filter that actively removes white from an image (unlike the ‘Multiply’ blend mode), perfectly leaving the rest of the image, whether the image is black-and-white or color.
    However, this is not simple masking. Pixels that are partly transparent are altered so as to only remove the white portion. Shadows and gradients will remain in the image, only white is removed.”

The Nik Collection suite is now available for free. Thanks for the hint, cday

Google Nik Collection ([url=http://plus.google.com/+NikCollection/posts/AFGsG2Di7EK]Today we’re making the Nik Collection available to everyone, for free.[/url]) wrote:Photo enthusiasts all over the world use the Nik Collection to get the best out of their images every day. As we continue to focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile, including Google Photos and Snapseed, we’ve decided to make the Nik Collection desktop suite available for free, so that now anyone can use it.

The Nik Collection is comprised of seven desktop plug-ins that provide a powerful range of photo editing capabilities -- from filter applications that improve color correction, to retouching and creative effects, to image sharpening that brings out all the hidden details, to the ability to make adjustments to the color and tonality of images.

Starting March 24, 2016, the latest Nik Collection will be freely available to download: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. If you purchased the Nik Collection in 2016, you will receive a full refund, which we’ll automatically issue back to you in the coming days.

We’re excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now.

Nik Collection Help ([url=http://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/3000889]Licensing and Compatibility[/url]) wrote:Windows: Vista, 7, 8
Adobe Photoshop: CS4 through CC 2015
Adobe Photoshop Elements: 9 through 13 (apart from HDR Efex Pro 2, which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements)
Adobe Lightroom: 3 through 6/CC

As of v2.39, XnView Classic still comes with version 3.01 of Harry's Filters.

The Plugin Site (Harry's Filters » [url=http://www.thepluginsite.com/products/harrysfilters/versionhistory.htm]Version History[/url]) wrote:
Version 4.09 for Windows (December 2015)

• Support for HiDPI
  • The UI-Scaling-Preview-Cutoff problem in Photoshop CC 2014/2015 and Photoshop Elements 13/14 was fixed. However, the Soft Proof effect is not visible in the preview anymore if UI Scaling is active.
  • Larger cursors
• Improved installation:
  • Three less clicks are necessary, because the language, start menu and ready pages are not displayed anymore.
  • There are no separate Start menu folders added for different versions anymore. So better uninstall previous and demo versions before installing new/full versions.
  • Under Windows 8 & 10 there are even less icons with better names installed on the All Apps section of the Start menu to avoid clutter.
  • Please uninstall from the Control Panel as the uninstall icon is not added to the Start menu anymore.
  • Plugin Installer supports HiDPI

Version 4 for Windows (January 2011)

• 64-bit version included
• Resizable window with visual styles.
• Speed improvements:
  • 2.5 times faster: Patterns>Rasperry
  • 1.75 times faster: Nature>Flame, Nature>Tornado
  • 1.5 times faster: Patterns>70s Pop, Color>Mood
  • 1.25 times faster: Patterns>Random Art, Patterns>Radial Sinality, Color>Color Wizard
• Improved compatibility with some applications, e.g. preview scrolling now works in SignLab and Image Analyzer.
• Data Execution Protection (DEP) does not keep Harrys Filters from working anymore.
• More precise rendering time measurement
• To avoids write permission conflicts the .ini and preset are now saved in this folder:
  2000/XP:
  c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\ThePluginSite\HarrysFilters4\
  Vista/7:
  c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\ThePluginSite\HarrysFilters4\
• The values of the Brightness, blend controls and Instant Preview check box are preserved between session.
• Bug Fix: The Blue Mode slider of the Artistic>Color Cocktail effect works again.
• The installer supports a total of 38 languages. Plugin Installer supports several new compatible applications.
• Support for silent installation: If you run the installer with the /silent or /verysilent command line parameter, the installation will run automatically and require no click. Plugin Installer will then automatically install the plugin in every supported application that it can find.
