What's New
Version 6.1.1.1139:
- Performance. Under the hood, the Eye Candy rendering engine has changed significantly. You will notice that the filters are much faster and can run on much larger images than before. If you have a computer with one or more multi-core CPUs, Eye Candy will take advantage of the modern hardware to accelerate its rendering speed.
- Scaling Modes. Eye Candy 6 adaptively scales filter effects to the current image size, making it easy to get great looking results quickly. Factory settings now work better than ever in the new adaptive mode. For those who want precise control in a graphic design production environment, Eye Candy also supports a fixed mode, which allows the filter effects to be specified precisely in pixel units.
- Settings. Settings have been reorganized and now have categories. If you are new to a filter, the Settings Tour category takes you on a trip through the filter's most interesting effects. The factory settings were completely remade. There are now over 1500 carefully designed settings that handle a wide range of common design tasks.
- Fire. The Fire filter now looks more natural. Sharp edges have been smoothed to look more like realistic gaseous flames. Panels. Panels for Photoshop CS4 are provided for starting Eye Candy filters with a single click and for quickly creating attractive buttons.

Here's the thing though. I ran the Activity monitor to see if the plug-in was eating more headroom when active.
I ran it in PhotoshopCS6. To my amazement, I discover that when it's running, it throws Photoshop into a red texted "Not Responding" state. This is the sort of message you'll see if Photoshop hangs or freezes. To be fair, it does return to normal after the plug-in is dismissed. Still, this seems a rather invasive way to inject a plug-in into the host. Every other CS6 compatible plug-in I have doesn't do this. I tested 'em all after seeing this.
To be fair, this version does run much smoother than the last version did, but seriously? A plug-in that disables the host while it's running?

So it's not happening on my iMac. You can't do anything in Photoshop while the filter is running, but that's normal for any filter while the model window is open. In this case it's a separate application.

That's a shame...
Well, I guess just keep fingers crossed it doesn't still cause any wake from sleep issues (or other problems) that developers who use this DRMcrapware won't probably help anyone with.
