RALEIGH, N.C. -- Alien Skin Software today announced the widespread availability of the Eye Candy(R) 5 Bundle, a suite of 30 versatile, Adobe(R) Photoshop(R)-compatible filters. The Eye Candy 5 Bundle includes full versions of Eye Candy 5: Impact, Nature and Textures and renders a wide variety of beautiful effects.

Eye Candy 5: Impact creates chrome, bevels, glass buttons, perspective shadows, and more. Eye Candy 5: Nature simulates a variety of natural phenomena, including fire, smoke, rust, snow and ice. Eye Candy 5: Textures collects 10 seamless texture generators and produces surfaces such as snake and lizard skin, fur, brick, stone and wood.

The Eye Candy 5 series refines the features of Eye Candy 4000 and supports the latest digital imaging innovations. Eye Candy 5 uses familiar keyboard shortcuts and is scriptable with Photoshop actions. Presets provide over 200 quick and easy effects. An improved settings management system makes it easier to browse, share and add presets. Eye Candy 5 works with 16-bit and CMYK images. So color transitions are smoother, with less banding, and print documents reproduce colors more accurately. Unlimited undo and redo make experimentation painless, while context-sensitive help addresses user questions.
