I keep coming back to Alien Skin products and, especially, the Eye Candy series of filters because of the excellent quality of the effects and their genuine ease of use and application. And once you reach a comfort level with the many built-in choices, it's a natural progression to experiment with the adjustment sliders and dials to create your own variants. The beginner is almost certain to find several presets to his liking that can be applied immediately without any tinkering. One of the best features of these packages is the abundance of presets. Also true: each of the EC5 packages includes several "must have" filters. I would be hard-pressed to say which third of the EC5 triumvirate I would want to do without. This filter also includes a color gradient editor.Īs with EC5: Nature and EC5: Textures, EC5: Impact includes a compelling assortment of filters. You'll be able to create gears, flowers, spirographs and more. Super Star allows you to create much more than variously-pointed stars. I used a Perspective Shadow effect in a print and eBook ad for Kindred Spirit, my most recent novel. Perspective Shadow creates a 3-D perspective drop shadow beneath, behind or beside an object. Take drop shadow effects to the next level.

Motion Trail creates a semi-transparent streak along a flexible path so that objects can appear to turn, swerve, dip, or zip along a straight line.
This Glass example applied to my Kindred Spirit cover has a Road-Night Time reflective map applied to the cover, which changes the mood from rural to urban.Ĭreate a simple halo effect or simulate a neon sign with Gradient Glow. The buttons example below shows how you might use this effect to design Web site navigation buttons. Glass has a built-in drop-shadow control and features improved simulation of refraction and distortion. Glass produces a shiny, translucent coating over selections, making instant "glass" buttons possible. This filter includes a bevel editor and surface textures.Įxtrude is a new effect for simulating 3-D text and shapes. Use Chrome to simulate mirror-polished chrome, liquid metal and other shiny surfaces. Also included are smoothness and corner rounding controls.īrushed Metal renders architectural surfaces, including stainless steel, copper or aluminum and comes with three brush patterns, Linear, Circular and Hand-brushed. New surface textures give you the ability to render shiny, pitted or bumpy surfaces. Below a brief description of each filter, I will show a couple examples of that filter in action.īacklight simulates a brilliant light source or rays of light behind a selection.īevel creates a wide variety of embossed, bevelled or carved shapes. You can build your own custom presets by tweaking various settings in the simple but powerful user interface.Īs always wtih reviews of plug-in Photoshop filters, a picture is worth a thousand words. But you aren't limited to the designers' choices. Out of the box, the ten filters come with a combined 200+ presets. Of the ten filters, three are new to Eye Candy ( Backlight, Brushed Metal,Įxtrude), the other seven ( Bevel, Chrome, Glass, Gradient Glow, Motion Trail, Perspective Shadow and Super Star) represent improvements to existing filters in EC4000. All ten filters included in Impact can be used for print or web design.
