Alien Skin Software Ships Eye Candy 7 Graphic Design Effects Plug-In for Photoshop
Realistic effects look natural, including new Lightning, Electrify, and Clouds; All effects are now in one user interface, making experimentation easy
RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alien Skin Software today announces the immediate availability of Eye Candy® 7, the new version of its graphic design effects plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® and Photoshop Elements. Eye Candy 7 renders realistic effects that are difficult or impossible to achieve in Photoshop alone, such as Fire, Chrome, and the new Lightning. The completely redesigned user interface lets users quickly browse all of Eye Candy's effects through icons and instant previews.
Eye Candy 7 contains the spectacular new Lightning, Electrify, and Cloud effects. There are more than 1,000 presets that handle every design situation elegantly, from slick web interfaces (Chrome, Glass, Perspective Shadow) to tasteful logos (Bevel, Brushed Metal, Extrude) to spectacular titles (Chrome, Corona, Fire). Realism sets Eye Candy effects apart from the generic filters built into Photoshop. Effects like Animal Fur, Smoke, and Reptile Skin are rendered in exquisite detail down to individual hairs, turbulent wisps, and shiny scales. Eye Candy helps designs look more natural and organic.
Eye Candy's new, modern user interface makes it easy to explore and design looks. In Eye Candy 7, the effects are chosen through easy-to-recognize icons rather than text menus. As users move their mouse over presets, the thumbnail preview instantly shows how they will look within the design. Effects adapt to the size of artwork, so presets can be used without any modification.
"I'm proud of our big simplification of the Eye Candy 7 user interface," said Terence Tay, the designer of Eye Candy. "Now you can browse effects visually, which is how designers naturally work."
Eye Candy is made for professionals in demanding production environments who need support for 16-bit/channel images and CMYK mode. Eye Candy provides multiple techniques for non-destructive editing in Photoshop, including Smart Filter support and rendering effects on a new layer.
