New script – Brushes Resizer

by

Have you collected great brushes over the years, only to find they’re just too small for today’s high-resolution projects? Back in the PSP9 era and earlier, brushes were limited to 500 pixels — and some were even under 100. That might have worked fine back then, but now a 100-pixel brush looks tiny on a 3600-pixel layout!

The Brushes Resizer script helps you bring those old brushes back to life by turning them into full-size versions that work beautifully in PSP X and up. Whether you're using them to add textures, stamp illegible details in a background, or build grungy overlays, this script does the resizing work for you. You’ll be able to re-use your favorites without sacrificing scale — and without starting over from scratch.

Want a chance to win this script for free? Head over to this Facebook post and tell us: what’s the smallest brush you’ve ever used — and what did you use it for? (Tiny leaf? Mini swirl? Maybe a dot you didn’t even realize was a brush?) Winner will be announced in next week’s newsletter. Not subscribed yet? Join here — it’s free, and we only email once a week. The winner will be announced next week — good luck!

Since I cannot make a sampler from this script, I created a whole alphabet made of stone. It will be perfect to add to your adventure-related projects or to place them in the sand, on the beach.

This alpha is a perfect match to the set of digits available HERE.
