New script – Hanging Photos 2

June 2, 2023 by Cassel

Hanging Photos script for PaintShop Pro It can be fun to display photos on a string, and in digital projects, it is just as easy, although it can be tedious to resize, move, rotate and attach all the photos on one image. That is why I coded this script.

You can now display as many photos as you want on up to 6 strings. The script will take care of all the tedious and repetitive tasks for you. You will end up with unmerged layers so you can tweak the default arrangement as you wish.

New script – Swatch Palette

May 26, 2023 by Cassel

It might be easy to create a swatch palette in PaintShop Pro, but if you are starting with a large number of colors, it can be tedious. And referring to the same image whenever you are working on a project can also be annoying.

With this script, you can start with any image that includes the colors you want to use, and transfer them into a color palette available inside your PaintShop Pro. And all that, in just a few seconds. No need to pick and choose the colors or worse, have to type in the hex codes.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever created your own custom palette (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sampler, I used the color palettes for the next three blog trains in the DigitalScrapbook.com forum and converted them into palettes you can simply add to your PSP. Two versions of the palettes are available: one for versions 9-X6 (identified with V9 in the name) and one for versions X7 and up (identified with VX7 in the name). Unzip the ones you need for your version and save the files (or the whole folder for versions X7 and up) in the Swatches folder of your PSP. Since they are different for different versions, don't put everything in the same place, if you have earlier and older versions of PSP referring to the same content folder. If needed, simply put them in the default folders, in Documents.

New tubes – Wool 2

May 18, 2023 by Cassel

Although you might sometimes want to have some neat and soft wool strands, other times, you might want something shaggier, and more irregular. This is what you need.

This set of 12 picture tubes, in 12 different colors, allows you to add shaggy edges anywhere you want, in any length and shape you need.

Draw freehand or along a set edge using the VectorTube script.

New script – Phrase Strips

May 12, 2023 by Cassel

You can use individual stips of "papers" in different colors to showcase quotes, phrases, or individual lines of a poem but doing that manually is time-consuming and tedious. And adding extra details means that you have to repeat the process for each strip, one by one.

This script will save you a lot of time while giving you great flexibility. You can choose up to 10 colors/gradients/patterns to use as a paper background. You can you ANY font, and as many as you want to add variety. You can use any number of phrases. And there are also additional options for you to choose from.

Generate a ton of strips. Keep the ones you like and discard the rest.

New script – Bow #22

May 5, 2023 by Cassel

This script will create a double bow out of a single thin ribbon. Although you can have the same ribbon for all the loops, you can also colorize the inside loops and tails to give the impression of using different ribbons.

Even more, you can let the script group the layers for the inside bow, and then copy and paste the whole group into another bow made with the same script, and you would end up with completely different ribbons in your bow.

New script – Diamond Painting

April 28, 2023 by Cassel

Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.

The script will convert any image (or design) into a diamond painting. Of course, you won't have the physical texture to play with but it will only take you a few seconds to complete.

The zip file also includes picture tubes for the individual "drills" in case you want to add some in other locations.

New Picture Tubes – Colored Pearls

April 13, 2023 by Cassel

You can create gold and silver chains with various picture tubes available in the store, and now, you can add colored pearls to your jewelry box.

You get 12 sets of pearls, and each set includes 20 slightly different images so that a string of pearls won't be just multiple copies of the exact same image. Place them manually with your cursor or use the VectorTube script to place them precisely along a vector path.

New script – Streaks

April 7, 2023 by Cassel

With graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.

You can apply this effect to any photo, in any of the four basic directions, and you can also have the ends of the streaks reach the edge of the image or not, for different effects.

Get this in the store: Streaks

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what photo would be suitable for this streaking effect (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sample, of course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.

New font – Two-Tone Stitch 2

March 31, 2023 by Cassel

A new font has been added to the store. This time, it will allow you to use two colors of threads if you want, or simply showcase the layered effect of the stitches with the bevel and shadow.

Use those stitches in a straight line (like most "text") or along a path, like you would add "text on a path". You can choose any size: it won't be blurred or pixelated since it will be a vector. All the measuring is done for you so that the two layers will perfectly align.

New script – Travel Tag 2

March 24, 2023 by Cassel

Travel tags are one of those types of tags that can really mean a lot of things. Whether you actually traveled and want to showcase the various cities or airports you went to, or just want to use the tag as an element to add something more personal, this script will help you.

You can choose any color you want so it will be matching your project. You can write just about any text you want. There is even a rectangle reserved for you to add something yourself (you can even handwrite something if you want).

Tear off the bottom part if you want, and use the two sections separately.
