For the final parts of the lesson in shadows and motion, we turned to Eye Candy 4000 and then to Eye Candy 3.1. Even though I own both of them, I once again learned some new things about some of the features. In the first example of Shadowlab I've used the same vase as with the Andromeda shadows. This is just a simple perspective shadow on the back wall.

The settings used for the above shadow in Eye Candy 4000 are shown below:

On the second image I used three different colors. I applied the shadow for each on a separate layer and changed the direction on each of the shadows. The only setting that I captured was that of the gray shadow which is in the center. After the gray shadow was applied, I then rearranged the layers so that the gray was on the bottom and the lighter colors above the gray.

The settings for the center shadow in the second example are show below. Again, I did not capture the settings for the two colors that are on the left and right of the vase.

The last of the Eye Candy 4000 features explored was the Motion Trail. For this image I used a skating snowman which I'm doing as a tutorial - as soon as I finish the HTML coding. The first time I saw the vivid purple colors for the trail I thought I'd done something wrong, but was pleased to see that it was only showing where the trail would be. My snowman looks airborn, though.... :o)

The settings I used for the EC 4000 Motion Trail are shown below:

Finally we used Eye Candy 3.1 for the Shadow Perspective. This time I used a different vase and a simple back wall shadow.

The settings I used for the EC 3.1 Shadow Perspective are shown below:

The final Eye Candy 3.1 filter used was the Motion Trail. I once again used my skating snowman for this example. I kind of liked how this one turned out.
