The upgrade includes five new special effects filters and a wide array of new features, according to Alien Skin. Eye Candy 4000 will be released during the final quarter of 2000.

New features include unlimited undo capability for all filters, new Bevel Profile and Color Gradient Editors, seamless tiling for texture effects, hundreds of tradable presets that create complex effects instantly, large previews that include underlying layers, real-world parameter units for creating resolution-independent effects and maximum support for RGB, CMYK and other image modes.

All previous Eye Candy filters have new controls, and many have been completely reworked, according to Alien Skin. Thirteen of the Eye Candy 4000 filters are functional in the free public beta.
