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

Universe Image Creater (UIC) Plug-ins 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 effects are Stars, Textured Stars, Nebula, Vortex, Lens Flare, Galaxy, Distant Star, and Interstellar Gas. 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 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.   Please note that this current plug-in does not include the three planet types: venus, earth, and moon.  This will be added in the future, but can be created now with the UIC v1.63 stand alone program once you have registered your copy.
