New mouseover help strings have been added for all elements of the preview window, encouraging users to quickly master each filter. If a filter has a large number of sliders, they have been organized onto tabs for ease of use. Lighting, Color and Bevel Profile tabs are used in several filters. After much consultation with our users, we have aimed for a more host-like appearance and functionality in the Eye Candy 4000 interface. Bevel Profile Editor A Bevel Profile editor is now included in Bevel Boss, Chrome and Glass.
Users now have complete control over the shape of bevel and carve effects.
Bevel Profile settings can be named and saved for later use. In addition, we have included a variety of presets to help users take full advantage of this feature. Color Gradient Editor A Color Gradient editor is now included in Fire, Gradient Glow, Smoke and Star. Users can now create a stunning variety of color effects. The color and opacity of each color stop in the gradient can be controlled, producing multi-hued glows, halos, rainbows and more.
