Universe Image Creator Plugins Planetary Edition (PE)
(compatible with PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photopaint, and more...)

Universe Image Creater (UIC) Plug-ins PE allows you to create realistic images of deep space right in your favorite image editing program. Any program which supports the Adobe Photoshop 4.0 Filter Plug-in specification will work. 

The filters are Stars, Textured Stars, Nebula, Vortex, Lens Flare, Galaxy, Distant Star, and Interstellar Gas. The latest release also includes a planet filter and planet animation tool. All effects are rendered in 3D and can be oriented in any position. This combined with the power of your image editing program yields fantastic deep space scenes.

UIC Plug-Ins PE is Shareware.  All of the effects can be viewed.  However in the shareware mode, only three effects can be rendered:  stars, textured stars, and the nebula.  The remaining effects can be viewed but are rendered with a "Register at Diard Software" watermark.  They are all enabled when you register your copy.  

We encourage you to "test drive" the program yourself.  We think you'll like what you see.
