Hi guys, I was in touch recently with a support guy from Alien Skin and the Eye Candy 7 plugins had a rewrite to cater to the newest versions of Photoshop and as you have seen they no longer work so nicely with Xara. Apparently Alien Skin have no immediate plans to look at supporting Xara as a host, and they want to direct their resources to the PS users . I was told maybe in the future if there was enough interest they might reconsider. (contacting Alien Skin support can't hurt, the more of us that ask the more interest they'll see. ) They have a handy Live chat support http://support.alienskin.com/entries...8-chat-support
As well as Steve's very good suggestion you can use the plugins in Xara and lock the effect. If you set a default resolution for locked effects of at least 300dpi it works well. Also if you have version 6 of the plugins they still work quite fine with DP9, the only difference is the lightning effect and the new thumbnail panel in version 7. I've decided to stick with version 6 for now.
