Check out what I did using the Lightning filter in the background of the cover art for this Middle Grade novel. There are many textures and effects useful for a variety of purposes. You may even want to throw a little Rust on top of either one of those.Įye Candy is by no means a text-only filter. Emboss (using pitting) also plays nicely with Extrude. I find that Chrome and Brushed Metal work well together. I wanted to illustrate that you can also quickly come up with some interesting variations by using them in combination. Of course you can use any of these filters right out of the box with fast and eye pleasing results. The list of filters included in this package is too extensive to cover in this “quick tip,” but I hope to interest you enough to check out the link provided above.Īs a bonus, if you’re unfamiliar with the use of Smart Objects and Smart Filters, this little demonstration will illustrate why it’s a good practice to use them in your non-destructive work flow. I’ve chosen to show how to quickly and easily turn plain text into an eye-catching graphic by using two of the filters in the EC7 package: Glass, and Water Drops. Secondly this isn’t meant as a “serious” tutorial as much as a small taste of what can be done in a very short amount of time with Eye Candy 7. I’m merely a fan of their products and service. It works with Photoshop on MAC or Windows and is available for a free 2-week trial period by clicking here.įirst of all I’m not associated with Alien Skin, and receive no compensation for this endorsement. Since the question “what are your favorite plugins” often comes up in such groups, I figured I’d take the opportunity to “plug” one of my favorites: Eye Candy 7 by Alien Skin. I was asked by the online creative community PixeLobby to initiate a design challenge for it’s members.
