However, Paint Shop Pro’s “File Locations” setting lets you specify up to three folders paths for plug-ins. The on-screen instructions were unclear if each installation would require a multiple of that hard disk requirement. SPLAT! consumes from 50MB to 300MB (full install) of hard drive space. However, if you own more than one of these graphics programs, the installation routine advises that you’ll need to run setup separately for each one.

SPLAT! detects if you have PhotoShop, Fireworks or Paint Shop Pro installed and, if you do, offers to install itself into the add-in folders of those programs. Installation is a breeze, but you might have to do it more than once.

SPLAT! fills a significant role in the Alien Skin line of plug-in filters. If you’ve invested serious time and money in PhotoShop, Fireworks or Paint Shop Pro, SPLAT! provides a lot of ‘meat and potato’ filters you’ll be glad to have at your disposal. Hence my earlier comment about the user-requested aspect making a lot of sense.


Whereas previous Alien Skin filters gave us lots of effects we never suspected we needed but loved to have all the same, SPLAT! gives us a handful of filters (with hundreds of variations, I might add) we probably always wished we had. That’s not to imply SPLAT! offers anything less impressive, amazing or professional in design.

I would soon find something original or exciting or out of left field, some out-of-the-box-thinking to put a silly grin of admiration on my face. During my previous WindoWatch reviews of Alien Skin Software - Eye Candy 3, Eye Candy 4000 and Xenofex - I’ve always had an early “wow/cool/weird” moment of stunned appreciation for what the wizards of Alien Skin have wrought, whether it was a filter for fire, lightning, smoke, fur or electricity - whatever. After spending some time applying SPLAT! effects, that makes a lot of sense to me.
