Eye Candy Effects Collection debut for Photoshop

Alien Skin Software on Wednesday introduced the Eye Candy Effects Collection — a $399 package containing full retail versions of five of Alien Skin Software’s previously-released plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop.

The collection includes Eye Candy 5: Impact, Nature and Textures, which include general purpose filters, natural effects and texture effects, Xenofex 2, intended for Web designers, graphic artists, photographers and others, and SnapArt, a natural media filter kit that creates real-world art styles like oil paint, pencil sketch, pen and ink and more. A total of 54 special effects filters are included, with more than 1,000 one-click settings, according to the developer.

The collection requires Adobe Photoshop CS or later or Photoshop Elements 4 or later, 512MB RAM, and G4 or G5 processor and Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later.

Alien Skin Software notes it will offer free updates to Universal versions of all plug-ins included with this collection once those versions become available.

Editor's note: Updated to reflect Universal binary upgrade policy for this package.
