So many packages on the market skimp in this area. I mean, after all, in a kaleidoscope effect, what could a little aliasing hurt? But the effects in Tinderbox 2 are just so precise—clean, if you prefer—that the results can't help but look spectacular.

Incidentally, Kaleid is a bonus filter provided by The Foundry upon registration of the product. Without registration, you can't use the filter.

Generators
The Generators category includes Bars, Blobs, LensFlare and NightSky. These are all pretty straightforward filters and do what they say.

Tools
I'm not sure why the Tools category is called Tools. It includes two filters, Grain and Wobble, both of which create the effects that you'd expect. Grain places a film grain on the image, which can be applied in several styles. And Wobble creates a film wobble, complete with settings for shutter speed. It also motion blurs the image according to the degree of wobble applied.

Warpers
There are two warp effects in this package—Swirl and Ripple. Like Kaleid, these are very high-quality distortion filters that do pretty much what they say.
