The third of the Eye Candy Effects Collection we're taking a look at, is Eye Candy 5: Textures. Textures is one of the unique filters above all in this collection because of the many variant surface structures available to you. Throw in the abilities of the Alien Skin versatility, and you once again have a plethora of textures which can be created exclusively for your own use, and almost impossible to recreate unless you're an Alien Skin Guru. This is why I cherish the save function of Alien Skin's textures. If you've done a lot of customizing...SAVE IT!
