Okay, okay....so Xenofex isn't shareware, literally. But believe me....for
what you get in this program, and the low comparative price, it might as well be! (You get
not only the filters, but they've even included PaintShop Pro 4.14, as a bonus.) If you've
used Eye Candy, also by Alien Skin, you'll recognize the interface immediately. If you
haven't, you'll have no problems at all figuring out how to use it.
And what FUN you'll have using it! I've been playing with the filters for 4 days now, and
am still fascinated by the effects. Even a beginner can create scary lightning storms,
parched earth, crumpled paper effects, clouds of just about any type you can name, paper
stains, etc. There are 16 filters included, each with a differing effect, and over 160
presets. And, to go Eye Candy one better, Alien Skin has also included the capability of
saving or deleting your own pre-sets.
If you don't have Eye Candy, I highly recommend you purchase it first, simply because it
has filters that no graphics designer should be without. But THEN -- buy this one, folks.
It's well worth your money.
May be purchased through retailers, or on-line using a major credit card. Compatible with
PhotoShop 3.04 or later, Paint Shop Pro 4.12 or later, Corel Photo-Paint 8, and other
graphics programs.
