Eyecandy

[Tron]

I don't use after market filters very much. However, I just installed Eyecandy 4000 and it has some really good filters. Fun to play with
here is a sample. The wood effect, the fire and the motion trail are all eyecandy. B7

Eye Candy has a good reputation.
By the way, Rick, do you know Flaming Pear? They have some terrific ones too, like Superblade Pro. And they have demos... (heheee).

I don't know 4000 personally. What does it do? Can you upload some more examples (one by one, and no hurry... )

See, now that is interesting, that motion blur effect, because that takes too much time in Photoshop, especially when you want this effect for a "complicated" object like this; a complete word.
Oops, suddenly I have an idea...have to press CTRL+N again

Nice, Good flame too. I use CandyEye every once in a while. I demo-ed Flaming Pear and liked it better but very expensive when you buy all of them.

Gaus keeps me so busy just trying PS tricks, I don't have time to experiment with filters.

Huh? What's that Gaus? No I'm not complaining --not yet anyway .[shhh]

eyecandy 4000 can be a lot of fun to mess around with - I have had it for a long time now but over the last 3 or 4 months I have found that I am using them less and less I also used to use Xenofex, Alien Skin, flaming pear (this has flood) plus others that I had collected guess I am just too busy trying to learn all about the channells, pen and curves properly.
I have an image of the flaming pear flood if anyone wanted to see it below

[Joy Foraker]

Rick --How'd you do that devil? 3d proggy? Very cool or should I say "hot" --don't intend to meet that guy ever.

I can tell you are enjoying candy-eye, u r getting me interested in it again.
Hey, write a challenge for flames

I used to play a game with EC. How can I used it for things other than was it was blatantly intended for? You know, lateral thinking type stuff.

The most practical thing I came up with was using Smoke in an Alpha channel for Masking. Man, it did beautiful things for collaging/montaging. Corona was good for this as well with a touch of Gauss tossed in.

I tried using Drips with Polar Coords for circular splattered effects. Mixed results, or maybe I just didn't play with it enough to get it right.

I had a few other lateral uses, but they escape me right now.

Thanks Joy. The devil is done in Poser and then imported to PS [sly]
