New script – Scatter Brush

January 13, 2023 by Cassel

Scatter Brush script for PaintShop Pro Creating a seamless background design is fairly easy when using PaintShop Pro, but covering a whole surface in random design is much more challenging. In addition, trying to avoid overlaps is an added difficulty.

This script will take a single brush tip of your choice and cover any surface with it, in a random manner. You won't see any repeat and very little overlap. This will be perfect for backgrounds.

For a sample of this script, I am sharing two full-size papers: one for your winter projects and one for summer. For the winter paper, I manually added the white pompoms while I locked the transparency on the layer. It is a little tedious but the result is worth it. For the summer paper, I used a dolphin brush in blues and added a few starfish afterward. Both papers are available with a background (in jpg format) and without (in png format).

New script – Plaid 4

January 6, 2023 by Cassel

Plaids are versatile and since you can use a wide variety of colors, the possibilities are endless. Some plaids are simple, some are intricate. This particular design includes a hashed texture that will let you show any background color through.

You can choose from 3 to 10 colors to be used and the script will randomly select them and use them. You can generate up to 25 different tiles that will also be totally seamless. Keep the tiles you like, and discard the others.

New script – Chevrons 4

You might be familiar with the regular straight chevron designs, but how about the curved ones? How would you do that? Doing it manually is a bit tedious but with a script, you can generate many seamless tiles in one run.

You can then use these tiles as a fill design to create papers, frames, and backgrounds.

New script – Bow #20

December 2, 2022 by Cassel

A simple bow might be all you need for your project, but how do you find the correct one? Using a ready-made bow and colorizing it might work but might also be a lot of work.

This script will use any straight ribbon and cut random pieces from it to create the bow. This means that even using the same starting ribbon, you will have different results.

In the center, you can let the script use the ribbon for the knot or choose a solid color for a contrasting effect.

New script – Button Machine 4

November 18, 2022 by Cassel

Buttons can come in many shapes and colors. And they can be so versatile when used in various projects, whether you want to pretend you are fastening photos, or you want to create a decorative element by combining several together.

You can use ready-made buttons, but they might not be exactly the color you want. Or, if you want to turn them, the bevels and lighting are not perfect. But with this script, you can get a series of similar, yet unique buttons. And you can generate up to 20 at one time. Keep the ones you need and discard the rest.

Whether you are into steampunk style, or just like to work with various mechanisms that use gears, creating new shapes might be a little tedious.

New picture tubes – Skyline 2

November 5, 2022November 4, 2022 by Cassel

Sometimes, a random skyline is what you need for a background, but how do you make one without using the same one over and over again? This set of picture tubes will randomly place different elements for you and you can colorize them however you want, or leave them black.

You get three sets: one for the country, one for the small town, and one for the big city.

New script – Line Painting

October 28, 2022 by Cassel

When I was in school, I remember one art class where we had to use straight lines of different thicknesses to replicate a simple image. I was not very good at that, but I would have loved to have this script, which does it in just a few seconds.

Starting with any image, the script will reduce the number of colors and change it to greyscale to determine the brightness of each section and then fill those sections with straight lines in different thicknesses. In the end, you get various options to finish the project. You can use those line paintings to display photos that have odd colors, or not in focus, or just as a background for your page.
