Interface

Xenofex 2 adopts and updates the interface of Eye Candy 4000. While this interface contains many new controls, it remains compact, clearly organized and easy to use.

A: The Slider Controls
Slider controls appear along the left side of the filter window. If a Xenofex 2 filter has many controls, two tabs will be present to help organize them.

B: Thumbnail Navigation
The thumbnail image above the preview window allows you to move the preview anywhere in your image with a single click. The movable red box displays the area of your image visible in the preview window.

C: Move, Zoom, Show Original, and Arrow Buttons
The Move (hand) Zoom (magnifying glass), and Show Original tools are found above the preview window. Click the hand to enable the Move Tool, then click and drag to move around the preview image. Click the magnifying glass to enable the Zoom Tool. Click to zoom into your image; Option-click to zoom out (Alt-click for Windows users). Double-clicking the Zoom Tool at any time resets the preview window to 100% magnification. The Show Original button enables you to toggle back and forth between the filtered and unfiltered versions of your image. Just click and hold the button to view the unaffected image. Release the button when you want to view your image with the effect. The Arrow button enables In Preview controls in the Puzzle and Lightning filters.

D: OK and Cancel Controls
Clicking the "OK" button applies the filter with the current settings. Clicking "Cancel" closes the filter window without applying the effect.

E: Preview Window Area
Preview the effect on your image here. The preview area can be resized by clicking and dragging the bottom right-hand corner of the filter window. Windows users can also click and drag the bottom of the window.

F: Render Status Bar
The rectangle to the left of the magnification indicator is the Render Status bar. As an effect is being rendered in the preview, this rectangle displays the amount of rendering that has been completed.

G: Magnification Indicator
The current level of magnification is shown to the right of the render status bar at the lower right corner of the filter window.

H: Mouseover Help String Area
All elements in each filter window have mouseover help text associated with them. This help text will appear at the bottom left of the filter window whenever you move your cursor over a user interface element
