I use on my PC the programs Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 and Corel PaintShop Pro X9 each in the 64-bit version.
EYE CANDY 7 FREE UPDATE
It has a zillion effects, and you might never find what you are looking for without knowing the right search criteria.Alien Skin Eye Candy 7 (7.2.0.50) - Update: February 2017īut trueblue the latest Eye Candy 7 filter update works with PSP X9, as JoeB has written. I have Filter Forge 8 which is OK, but not well structured IMO. So if you know anything remotely like Eye Candy 7 not mentioned here, I would dearly like to hear about it. Noel works for Adobe now, so good on him.
EYE CANDY 7 FREE SOFTWARE
As good as any third party Photoshop software I've come across. I use it a lot because it works so well, and it has an outstanding UI. I also can't see mention of our Noel Carboni's Star Filter Pro 4 on this page. I had an old version that stopped working ages ago. I can't see any of the old titles like Lighting fx that used to do great mist and light rays. They are pushing something called GRFX now, that looks like some of the Topaz efects, at a discounted $149. I am not sure if we mentioned the Auto-fx plugins when their thread first came out. I'd also pay serious money for modern versions of the old Kai Power Tools plugins. I'd gladly pay for new versions of their plugins. I've also writen to Flaming Pear asking if they can at least update the UI of plugins like Flood and the three Space Bundle plugins, but you don't even get a reply from Flaming Pear so I think they have become bored with coding for Photoshop. As far as I know, there is still nothing else quite like Eye Candy 7. I've writen to them at least twice over the years urging them to update Eye Candy 7, but there is obviously a lot more money in photo tweaking plugins than illustration aids. I'm bumping this thread because Alien Skin just sent out yet another update for its Exposure software - this time version X6.

So what are you using now, and what sort of things do you use plug-ins for?
EYE CANDY 7 FREE UPGRADE
I might even pay to upgrade from v6 to v7. I bought Filter Forge a year or so ago, and was thinking it was not that useful, but we were discussing plugins yesterday (post #32 in this thread) and I decided it was better than I'd thought.

I use the three Space Bundle plugins and Flood 2. The Flaming Pear plugins are old and clunky with terrible UIs, but if you can put up with that, they produce nice effects. I use Eye Candy most, followed by ProDigital's Starfilter Pro 4, and some of the Topaz plugins like Adjust and Simplify. Other than that, I can't think of any more free plugins that I would bother to install. Paper Texture Pro, sometimes associated with Russell Brown, has to be the best Photoshop texture tool available.ĪFAICT Interactive Luminosity Masks works as well as the Tony Kuyper version, but I think Tony's is not free.

It's a very useful tool, and one that used to be available on Trevor Morris's Dmonzon Tools before Adobe moved from Flash to HTML5. It works like the Move > Align tools, but on the space between objects rather than centers or left or right edges. Space Equal was written by Chuck Uebele who is a regular poster here. These are what I have installed at the moment There some very useful free extensions Creative Cloud I have tried it and found I preferred the Topaz plugins that I already owned, but they are not free. ON1 Effects 10.5 – ON1 is similar to NIK and free. It's Silver Efex is world class, and the best B&W conversion tool bar any according to photographers I know. I don't think it is directly compatible with CC 2018, but there are claims to workarounds out there. Eye Candy 7 is my favourite plug-in, but it wasn't free.
