You can now add a rainbow to any of your photos by using these picture tubes. Place those tubes along a vector circle and you can create many different rainbows, in different size and types. Use the VectorTube script to follow those paths, or draw your rainbows freehand.
Get these tubes in the store: Rainbow Tubes
Would you like to win these tubes? Then add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how would you otherwise add a rainbow to a photo (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 created a 3000 pixels double rainbow. You can use only an arc, either from the left or the right and add it to your photo. You can resize it as needed.

Here is another way to display some text or a date on your photo. You can create a variety of frames with a lot of options to pick from. Add any text in any font in any color, and place it on any corner.
As a sample, I created a series of four frames for the various seasons in the color of those seasons. Use them to create a year in review or just to showcase your favorite photos.
Summer is coming and the thought of fresh sandwiches is on everyone's mind. Although you can have a family barbecue (and use the Hamburger script), you can create slices of bread in various shapes with this script. You can choose between 4 types of bread: white, whole wheat, rye and multigrain. So there is something for everyone in the family.
As a sample, I created a set of slices in the shape of digits. You can use them to add a title, possibly for the photos of your annual family picnic. Each digit is in png format and quite large so you can easily size them down as needed.
You can add dimension and perspective to any design, element, shape or text.
This week, I created a couple of words that might be used to embellish your project. They are big enough to be sized down if needed.
With this script, you can take dozens or hundreds of photos and create a single image mosaic. You choose the "target" image to become a mosaic, and the folder where all the images are saved and the script will take all those images and create that mosaic. You can choose as many images as you want.
Since it is just a couple of days to St-Patrick's Day, I created a fun wooden puzzle with some St-Pat elements. The puzzle is left in unmerged layers so you can use the pieces separately if you want, and they are also grouped so you can copy and paste the whole puzzle onto another project of yours.
We might sometimes, want to showcase some photos of messy kids (ours or even ourselves). What better way than have a "dirty" element, complete with a splash of mud on the side?
As a sampler, I created a basic square frame and ran the script. You now have the perfect frame to showcase those "muddy" photos.
It might be fairly easy to find single color tubes to create a string. In fact, there is one that comes (or came) by default with PaintShop Pro. Strings with two colors can also be found (in the store) but they are much less common. But for variegated strings or ropes, this one is a first as far as I know.
For a sampler, I created a rainbow element that you can use with your projects and a frame using several colors of those variegated tubes. Each element is in PNG format.
I have seen various masks made from apparent chaos of random frames while allowing the display of a single photo through all those frames. I knew how to create those manually, but figured it would be simpler for PSP users to have a tool to do all the work for them.
As a sample, I am giving you the same template created in the preview. It has unmerged layers so you can add shadows on the frames if you want, you can merge them all before adding shadows or add them individually. You can also change the frame colors, add a bevel, or tweak them as you wish.
These tubes allow you to draw twisted ropes in any shape or length that you need in your project. No need to wait for someone to have one extracted that is exactly what you wanted. You can do it yourself.
For a sampler, I created this fun frame. I made the shapes with the Pen tool, and on that path, I ran the Vector Tube script using the sparkly gold twisted rope.
Now, you can create as many heart-shaped candies as you want, in any color you want. And they will also have random saying on them. With additional random features integrated into the code, each candy will likely be slightly different from each other.
As a sample, I simply am offering those candies created for the preview. You get twelve fun candies, about 300 pixels wide to use for this coming Valentine's Day project.
