Maybe you have sandy pictures of your last vacation but wished you had a photo where you would have written your name or the date in the sand. With Paintshop Pro, you can now cheat a bit.
This script will let you draw or write anything on a separate layer, on top of a sandy image and will create the typical ridges you would get if you used a stick to write in the sand.
You can write or draw anything and if you prefer to use a preset shape or any shape for that matter, the script will draw the outline in the sand.
Once you have your design "marked" in the sand, it is still left on a separate layer so you can move the design somewhere else on the sand, but best of all, it allows you to tweak the perspective so it will match the angle of the photo, for a more realistic effect.
Use any sandy background, whether it is your own photo or stock photos.

This week, as a sample, i created a series of digits and a few other simple designs in sand. Since the drawing matches the sand background, and i can't give you that background, there is a link in the README file where you can download the seamless tile to create a fun sandy image. And it is FREE too.
I drew all the digits and the designs by hand, because it looks much more realistic than the idea of finding text in sand using Arial or Times New Roman! Could you imagine!?

Great idea this script. I would draw a big heart on a photo from a beach, like a heart in the sand, with a name.
Okay, you’ve got my attention! Given that I lived near the coast in Maine for 10 years & my hubby grew up on Cape Cod, I would probably use it to write the location in the Sand (Old Orchard Beach, Nauset Beach, etc.). It might be the “title” for my layout. 😉 I also might draw a shape in the sand (heart, turtle or what not), and maybe put our names or a phrase inside it. =)
I might write Wish I was here again!
I do like the idea of writing the location, though
I love this! I have been wanting one of those couples hearts on the beach pictures, and this would be nice to have! Thanks so much for the samples!
