32 MB of physical RAM
Color monitor with 24-bit video card

Host application requirements:

Macromedia Fireworks 2 or later (all filters work as "live effects" in Fireworks 3)
Adobe ImageReady 1.0 or later
Deneba Canvas 6.0 or later

Runs fine in Photoshop 7.0.1 in Mac OS's up to 9.2.2, but only under a native classic Mac OS. That is; not in Photoshop 7.x under OS X.
[Workaround] For owners of Macs that are able to run classic apps in Mac OS X Classic mode only and have Photoshop 7 installed:
• Start Classic and install "Eye Candy 4000" into the Adobe Photoshop 7 "Plug-Ins" folder.
• Right-click the "Adobe Photoshop 7.0" app's icon and choose "Show Package Contents"
• Inside of the package, open the "Contents" folder, and then the "MacOSClassic" folder.
• Inside of the "MacOSClassic" folder is the classic "Adobe Photoshop 7.0" app; Make an alias of this and place it anywhere convenient. e.g; your Desktop.
• Double-clicking (or dragging graphic files onto) the alias will launch the classic version of Photoshop 7, giving access to these classic only filters.
• Run the classic version of Photoshop 7 in Classic mode, whenever you want to use these plug-ins.

The above workaround should apply to most classic only Photoshop plug-ins with Photoshop 7 under Mac OS X up to 10.4.11.

Eye Candy 4000 was carbonized for full OS X compatibility in 2002. If you have that version, please upload it here.

If you want to add more flourish to your images or illustrations, but lack the skill to create graphic effects, you'll find The Black Box 2.0 from Alien Skin Software LLC very helpful...
