KPT Effects - Ink Dropper

KPT Ink Dropper
Simulates liquid ink on a surface to create water spots, smoky swirls, and stains. Options allow you to customize the ink color and drop settings such as diffusion, movement, and dispersion.

This was the least impressive filter of them all. Compared to the other effects, I felt like this one maybe wasn't finished in in time for the product's release. The main thing that is disappointing about it is that you can only work with ink drops of one color per filter session. If you change the ink color, all the ink you've already applied changes to that color. So for the second and third examples below, I had to apply the filter multiple times to get the multi-colored ink effect.

Like the Fluid effect, you can watch as the liquid ink flows out and disperses over the surface. Controls allow you to adjust drop volume, dispersion, diffusion, ink color, intensity, and so on. You literally drop the ink by clicking in the preview, then you can watch as the ink disperses and stop the effect when you're happy with it. This one probably would have wowed me if only it allowed multiple ink colors within a session.
