Eye Candy 5: Impact - Super Star Filter Examples

Each of the eight shapes shown here were created with Super Star. Only drop shadows were added. As you can see, it can create a variety of both regular and irregular shapes such as flowers, leaves, gears, spirographs, and more.

Super Star

Super Star (formerly Star) creates regular polygon shapes such as star bursts, pentagrams, and octagons, and now it can create irregular and abstract shapes as well. Super Star includes new controls for curved sides, gaps, and tip flattening. Other controls allow you to adjust the star type (classic, curvy, or irregular), radius (size), orientation, number of sides, indentation, and spike irregularity. The gradient editor allows infinite color effects, and now you can choose to have the color radiate from the edges or the center of your shape. In-preview controls allow you to easily manipulate the position and size of the shape by dragging control points in the preview window. The Super Star shapes can also be rendered to a new layer.
