Have you ever seen those wonderful images that are transposed into various slats to create vertical or horizontal blinds?
This script can recreate that effect with Paintshop Pro. Use any image to start and run the script. You will have various options to choose to create your own custom blinds.
You can even have the blinds partially open (one third, one half or two thirds), so you can still see the initial photo, yet have the option to show a window and a scenery behind it.
This is just a plain fun way to display your image.
You can use the top valence if you want, but you can remove it completely and just use the individual slats that the script created.

This week, i was really struggling to figure out what to create as a freebie that you might actually use. Since there was a big snow storm in the US this weekend, i thought that maybe, someone would want to have a nice, warm photo to cover the sight of all that snow. Of course, you could use this even if you don't have snow around!
It is a png format element and it is full size so you could use it to cover half of a full size layout. Add a frame and a window scene behind for an interesting effect.

i would use these blinds for many images… it would make an awesome foreground for a beautiful sunrise or a “tada” feeling on a fun photo or new baby photo
this looks very good with photos, but I think it would be great to with a text on it, like a name or a date. And a nice background paper
Would be good for showing ‘Now & Then’ type photos – eg a photo of a house block with a house half-built with the finished house on the blinds; or a garden just being dug over with the finished landscape on the blinds. Also good for seasons – summer and winter/spring and autumn.
I would use a before pic of me and then an after pic behind the blind. Haha!! Neat script!!
