Eye Candy 5 Nature is an awesome set of plug-ins that will allow you to create quick complicated effects with the click of a button and the adjustment of sliders. As you will see below there are many pre-built options so that you can just choose one to add terrific effects to your images and text.
The main interface is shown below and it allows you to change between filters within the interface without having to leave and come back after choosing another. You can zoom in, zoom out and view at actual pixels.
Each filter has its own set of tabs that allow you to customize the look of the effect endlessly!
The next part of this review is dedicated to screenshots of the different effect choices and a sample of one each.
Some of the filters allow you to do seamless tiling and all of the filters give you the power to create unique effects. Eye Candy 5 Nature takes imaging effects to a new level.
Installation was quick and easy and went without a hitch. I appreciated that I didn't have to navigate to folders to install the plugins. Just choose an application from the list presented and the installer does all the rest. Installation couldn't be simpler.
All in all this is a terrific addition to anyone's toolbox and I highly recommend checking it out. You can grab a demo copy here. The demo is fully functional for 30 days and would be well worth your while to try it out!
Pricing: $99.00 (US) or Upgrade from a previous version for $49.00(US)
