Eye Candy 6For many years, Alien Skin's Eye Candy has been one of the most used plugins for creating eye-catching effects for image design enhancement.

The catch is that working with Eye Candy is at its best if you have Photoshop CS4. If you have Photoshop CS3, it's good. If you have Fireworks CS4 or Photoshop Elements, it's okay. This is partly due to the fact that the amount of features has fully passed the inharent user-interface design limitations.
