Eye Candy 5: Impact

Eye Candy 5: Impact is a collection of ten Photoshop filters which can create glass, chrome, shadows, brushed metal, bevels, reflections and more. The third of three upgrades to Eye Candy 4000, Impact offers beautifully rendered effects that any novice or professional designer will appreciate.

Impact includes three all-new filters. Backlight projects dramatic light beam and spotlight effects. Brushed Metal simulates textured metal surfaces such as brushed aluminum and polished brass. Extrude gives 2D objects a classic 3-D look, adding thickness and perspective.

In addition, Impact refines seven classic effects that made Eye Candy famous. Embossing effects now include surface textures and more bevel shapes. Gel, glass, chrome and liquid metal effects now showcase a wide variety of vibrant reflections.

Impact includes over 200 presets for frequently used effects; you can find the perfect effect quickly. The improved settings management system makes it easy to browse, share and collect new settings.

Impact also works with 16-bit images. Color transitions are smoother, with less banding. Print documents reproduce colors more accurately.
