 Must have for photoshop users. June 20, 2003

This set of filters is great for special effects. If you like creating abstract desktop wallpapers, it would be a shame passing on this piece of software.I literally use this set of filters as a toy. Open a picture, pick a filter, tweak the options, run the filter, stare at your screen in amazement, rinse, repeat. BONUS: This is a very little advertised fact, but the install CD contains both KPT3 and KPT5. Just choose custom install, and it will let you install KPT3 as well as KPT5. Double the fun! :) A word of warning, though. Apparently some of the included filters (actually quite a few of them) do not seem to work with Photoshop 7. And I would not expect a patch to fix that, seeing as KPT5 is not really being supported by Corel anymore. So make sure you have Photoshop 6 or older installed on your machine (multiple versions of Photoshop cohabit perfectly well on one computer).

Kpt 5 has many different filters in it that allow you to make awesome backgrounds or touchup photos. Some of the cooler filters are vortex tiling and glass. Vortex tiling mixes the background up. This filter makes awesome backgrounds for any webpage. Glass gives you picture a shinny look to it. This is the best program I've used in Adobe Photoshop ever. It will make all of the default filters look like rinky dink filters. If anyone is looking for cool filters to make awesome backgrounds this is the filter you should get.
