Ramping Up the Visuals: Eye Candy’s New Photoshop Plug-in
Designed to act as an enhancement to the Photoshop experience, Eye Candy’s new Photoshop plug-in provides a better visual experience than previous versions, working to make information and design possibilities more accessible to users. Basically everything about this new version is built around shifting toward a complete visual interface.
Options are provided entirely through visual aids in order to cut down on the amount of time spent checking out various options by having to click on each category and then view what that category provides. In fact, much of the visual upgrades introduced in this new version focus on reducing the need to click on anything as much as possible. For this version, simply hovering over various icons will provide a quick glimpse at what each of these icons provides and how each can change whatever image you are working with in Photoshop. While there are still text descriptors provided in order to ensure that there is as little confusion or hesitation as possible on the part of the user, these have become secondary in this latest Eye Candy plug-in version.
Popular and Professional Upgrades
Eye Candy seems to have kept a careful eye on the most popular effects and options available to its users, as it has brought back previously defunct options for this latest version. In order to continue these popular trends as well as create new ones, Eye Candy has made sure that all of the visual effects that can be applied with its newest plug-in are as realistic and sharply defined as technologically possible. Along with enhanced editing capabilities, Eye Candy has also ensured a strong hold on the professional market by making sure that its effects live up to the standards necessary for businesses using Photoshop for marketing, design, or any other possible professional setting. These professional upgrades are, therefore, targeted toward providing better resolution that results in crisper, cleaner images that respond better to printing processes.
Cost and Worth
While free trials are certainly available for this plug-in, the cost for long-term use varies, depending on the type of user you are. Those operating through Xenofex can purchase the plug-in for $99, whereas those buying the plug-in directly through Eye Candy will have to pay $129. Buyers may very well find the prices worth it, considering the hundreds of effects and styles offered along with enhanced editing capabilities.
