You will notice that the filters are much faster and can run on much larger images than before. Under the hood, the Eye Candy rendering engine has changed significantly. Panels for Photoshop CS4 are provided for starting Eye Candy filters with a single click and for quickly creating attractive buttons. Sharp edges have been smoothed to look more like realistic gaseous flames. There are now over 1500 carefully designed settings that handle a wide range of common design tasks. The factory settings were completely remade. If you are new to a filter, the Settings Tour category takes you on a trip through the filter’s most interesting effects. Settings have been reorganized and now have categories. For those who want precise control in a graphic design production environment, Eye Candy also supports a fixed mode, which allows the filter effects to be specified precisely in pixel units. Factory settings now work better than ever in the new adaptive mode. Eye Candy 6 adaptively scales filter effects to the current image size, making it easy to get great looking results quickly. If you have a computer with one or more multi-core CPUs, Eye Candy will take advantage of the modern hardware to accelerate its rendering speed. Many of the filters may seem a bit basic to Photoshop professionals but for those new to the application or just in need of saving some time, Eye Candy 4000 is a handy set of filters. In addition, non-destructive editing is supported through Photoshop Smart Filters. Eye Candy 4000 supports CMYK mode, multi-core CPU acceleration, 64-bit Photoshop support, and two custom panels for Photoshop CS4 or later.
