Installing the Eye Candy Demos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installing the Eye Candy 2.1 LE or Eye Candy 3.0 Demo indicates your acceptance of the License Agreement found at the end of this file. Double-click on the demo setup program. After the splash screen, the installer will display the license agreement for Eye Candy Demo. Click 'OK' when you are finished reading it. Next, you will be asked if you want the installer to find the Photoshop plug-in directory. Click 'Yes', the setup program will make a guess at the location of Photoshop's plug-in directory. Once it finds a plug-in directory, it will ask you if you would like to install Eye Candy in that location. If it is appropriate, click 'Yes'. If not, clicking 'No' continues the search for another plug-in directory. Eventually, if the installer can find no more plug-in directories, it will prompt you to select the directory. Browse through the file list until you find the desired directory and click OK. The Eye Candy 3.0 Demo installs Drop Shadow and Antimatter. You can preview the other 19 filters but you cannot apply them. The Eye Candy 2.1 LE Demo installs two filters, Glass and Swirl from the Eye Candy LE 2.1 filter set. See below for the special upgrade offer to the full version of Eye Candy 3.0 for Photoshop Bible owners!! About Glass ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glass puts a layer of colored glass on top of the selection. The edges of the glass layer are smooth, but the middle can be as lumpy as you like. The glass effect is achieved by simulating three physical effects: refraction, light filtering, and specular reflection. The refraction and flaw sliders give you control of image warping. The glass color and opacity sliders give you control over light filtering. Specular reflection is controlled by the highlight and light direction sliders. To access the lighting controls, select the Lighting Toolbox check-box at the bottom of the dialog. Note that this filter works best on large, simple selections that are not filled in with a solid color, like those made with the rectangle and ellipse selection tools. Controls: Bevel Width - Width of the smooth outer area. Flaw Spacing and Thickness - Flaws are hills and valleys in the glass. Larger spacing makes them cover more area, while larger thickness makes them etch away more of the glass. Opacity and Color - Larger opacities tint the glass stronger toward the selection Color. Refraction - Larger values warp the image more. Highlight Brightness and Sharpness Brightness - controls the strength of the shiny white highlights. Sharpness can make them smaller, giving a more wet look. Light Direction - Compass direction the light comes from. Light Angle - Angle between the ground and the light. About Swirl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swirl smears the image using randomly placed whirlpools. The spacing and shape of these whirlpools can be controlled to achieve an amazing variety of effects. Swirl tends to have a striking effect on images containing lots of detail and speckles. Therefore, you will probably find that a good combination is to use a noise filter before Swirl. Controls: Whirlpool Spacing - Although the whirlpools are randomly placed, this slider gives you control over the average spacing between them. Smear Length - Larger values blur the image more. If the Warp setting is on, then this also controls how far the image is stretched along stream-lines. Twist - Values near zero give a starburst effect. Values near 90 degrees give a spiral effect. Streak Detail- Larger values create darker streaks. Warp - When on, the image will be more significantly stretched along streamlines. Smooth - When on, this eliminates graininess. Compatibility ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Eye Candy 2.1 LE demo only works with Photoshop 3.0.4 or later versions.
