The program looked lik a regular professional application. Gone was the toy-like interface of Eye Candy 3. With 4000, it feels like I am here to do business. The interface is clean and uncluttered with tabs along the top to access all of the specific filters variable controls. The program real estate is easily resizable should you want to see even more space.
Most settings seems to bee customizable.
The program is easy to use without looking at the manual, which is what I usually do when I get new software. The manual, when you get around to it, is clean and easy to understand even to an artist like myself. At this point I did crack open the documentation to see what was new and different with this new set of filters. Users of Eye Candy 3 will be happy to know that all of the old filters have been retained and in some instances combined in logical ways. Drop Shadow and Perspective Shadow are combined into Shadow lab.
