This filter package puts the finishing touch on your pictures: textured edges. Photo/Graphic Edges has three CD volumes of edges, with more than 10,000 textures in all. You can customize them with the controls in the filter's dialog box, shown in Figure 19.9.
DreamSuite is another set of Auto FX plug-ins. Series One has 18 effects, some for type and some for graphics. Series Two adds another 11 effects. All are easy to apply and are very realistic looking. Figure 19.10 shows DreamSuite's take on liquid gold. The interface is simple and flexible, and can be opened as a standalone application as well as a plug-in. There's also Gel, as part of the DreamSuite package. It draws thick splats of jelly.
