Hey Glenn and Si.... Don't know if you've experimented with this yet, but if you have a shape or logo in Photoshop....and it is selected (marching ants), click on the "inverse selection" option and THEN use some of Eye Candy's functions such as dropshadow, etc.....it will put the dropshadow on the inside of the logo. Some effects will be put on the outside of the logo if it is normally on the inside. If you want a consistant "fadeout" around a odd shaped object....you select the "inverse" of the normal selection and then select the "gradient glow" feature in Eye Candy, and it gives you a nice smooth transitional fade from the outside edge of the object...inwards....very nice....great for a "neon" look or tubular or rounded edge look. I need to take the time to figure out how to post stuff here....I work in Photoshop every day.

I am like Adrienne. Take the word ("WORD") How would one approach it in the sense of the Effect? Different Effects(Chrome)(Beveled)(Shadow)(Etc) I like to see the casting of a simple (WORD) from all that is using Eye Candy.... Nothing more and Nothing less but the (WORD) Takers? -------------------- Stephen Deveau RavenGraphics Insinx Digital Displays Letting Your Imagination Run Wild!

By step by step...I mean: Give us a one step at a time tutorial on creating a cool chrome with bevel. I have eye candy already. Some of us (ME) need a bit more explaination. Thanks!

Adrienne; Which version of Eye Candy are you running? There are some drastic differences between Eye candy 3 and Eye Candy 4000 (which is vastly superior). Felix: Eye candy will plug right in to Photopaint, no questions asked. In fact, that's where I run it. The chrome filter is super versitile, I guess I could write another step-by on it ... but only if you're all really nice to me . -------------------- Jon Androsky

I don't know what to tell you. It should install just fine. When I get home tonight, I'll download it and e-mail it to you. I wonder if the program became corrupt while you were downloading it. Just guessing at this point. -------------------- BlueDog Graphics Wilson, NCwww.BlueDogUSA.com Warning: A well designed sign may cause fatigue due to increased business.
