Once you've selected the effect you want to apply, depending on the effect, you can manipulate it on the picture. For example, the fur effect will cover the entire image unless you choose a selected area beforehand that you'd like the filter to be applied to. To get the best out of some of the filters, it's best to select an area you'd like to add the filter to. We found that when editing a picture using an inverse selection was the most appropriate time to use the Texture effects. The Textures are for backgrounds and while they look quite basic, they can be manipulated later to look more realistic. It's intelligent enough to only use edges that are the correct orientation, so you don't get fire pointing down. For example, if you choose the Fire effect, flames will appear to be coming out of the subject. The effects found in the Shape section will add to the selected area that you've already prepared in Photoshop before launching Eye Candy 7.

This is a new feature in version 7 that Alien Skin have introduced to make Eye Candy easier to use and more visually attractive. It's split into two sections: Shape and Texture. The large button at the top enters into the main effects menu table. On the left are the Effects you wish to apply to the picture you've loaded in. The entire window is split into three sections. The window is dark grey with an 18% grey central panel that the image sits in.

The desktop works much the same as the other Alien Skin programs with a separate window opening. Then go to Filters, Alien Skin and select Eye Candy 7. To open Eye Candy 7, you must have a picture loaded into Photoshop. The program is then ready to use from Photoshop. After reading the lengthy terms and conditions, the actual installation lasts about 30 seconds.

There are a lot of tweaks you can do to the angle, amount, and size of the rain drops. The rain texture was more natural feeling. I might have to play around with it some more to see if I can get it to look natural. I wanted to see what I could do with the cloud effect. So I wanted to see what I could do with a photograph. While it was fun to play with text, IвЂ™m a photographer. With all of the effects you have an assortment of sliders and selections to modify the effect. Once you choose your effect, you can choose from a good assortment of factory presets or create your own. This selection screen was so easy to use, I would love to see a similar selection screen in some of Alien SkinвЂ™s other products. It is icon driven, so you have an idea of what the effect does before you click on then icon. The interface is clean and simple to use. I spent a lot of time just seeing what I could do to text and found that the limits are only bound by your imagination. This was a fun software package to play with. Most of the effects need a shape layer to be applied. Just select the layer in Photoshop you want to add an effect to, launch Eye Candy, select the effect and tweak.
