Also rather than 'plugins' per se  you might find more useful stuff googling "photoshop pixel art actions"

It wasn't advice.

You asked what pixel artists used plug-in-wise for photoshop, the answer from several pixel artists is that they DON'T use any special plugins, but rather use particular photoshop techniques, or use other software than photoshop. This is advice, good advice.

PLESAE loosen up a little bit man. The least you can do is be accommodating and tell us what exactly it is you're wanting to do that can't be accomplished in MSPaint. How you gon' be all tight-lipped when people are actually genuinely trying to help you for once?

From my point of view, asking for ANYTHING extra to help you with pixel art in photoshop just makes you look like a lazy bum. I'm not up on the modern techniques that pixel artists use so I'll defer to the expertise of the more experienced if they decide to chime in, but I do all my pixel art manually by hand one dot at a time. No magic filters or plugins. Just a pen, a canvas and some colors (or lack of colors, teehee)

I haven't used photoshop in over six years and I don't know anything about the plugins, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest some plugin ideas that you may be interested in searching:

Photoshop has more than enough to do what you need w/o plugins.
There are no magic shortcuts except practice.

Turn off all interpolation features, zoom in, and start clicking around. What more do you need for pixelart?
