I’d like to extend birthday wishes to our friends at Alien Skin Software. They are now 18 years old. You might want to celebrate the birthday by saving a bunch of money. All of their products are 30% off until September 20, 2011. Even better, you get the extra savings even for products that are already on sale. As an example, their most popular product is Eye Candy 6. It typically lists for $249. During the sale, they have lowered the list price to $199. Then you take off the 30% and your price is only $139.30. Overall, you save more than $100. When it comes to plug-ins, Eye Candy is the one I use the most by far. They don’t list it as working in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, but I find it works just fine. Alien Skin makes several other plug-ins so make sure to look around and see which ones you need in your toolbox.
