New script – Hammered Metal

March 6, 2021March 11, 2017 by Cassel

Hammered metal script for Paintshop Pro If you like jewelry, you will love this script to create gold or silver elements.

You will get a hammered texture on your piece based on the black and white design you will start with: the white area will be hammered while the black area will stay smooth.

What can you create? You can use any design so your element can be any shape and any size. You can create tags, coins, word plates, frames and more.

As a free sample, I created some "tags" illustrating some common life events (first day of school, first car, graduation, new baby, new house, trip/retirement) that you can use for your various projects.

Each element is 500 pixels so you can size them down to fit your need.

New script – Word Slats

January 18, 2021March 4, 2017 by Cassel

Slats are a fun way to display images as if we had multiple frames, but if you want to add a word or phrase, it makes for an even more custom display.

You can do that with this script, and you can use any text you want, in any font. The script even has additional options for even more unique ways to display your favorite photos.

As a free sample, i converted the slats used in the preview into a template. You can use it for your own photo. Make it sideways if you prefer. Cut the slats if you have a wider image that is not as high. Be creative!

New script – Wood Letters

January 18, 2021February 25, 2017 by Cassel

It is fun to have variety in the letters we can use for titles, but it might be hard to find something that really suits our projects, its feel and its color palette.

You can make these letters match your style, instead of hoping to find something similar that is ready-made. Even templates would not give you the flexibility that this script will offer you. Choose almost any font (i found that very large and ornate fonts might not give the best results), and any color. Then, the script will do the work for you and even add some randomness to the end results so you can get something that has a realistic and uneven look.

This week, i ran the script 4 times, using a different font and a different color each time. That just gives you a complete alpha with some variety. You will then be able to get some mix of different letters as if they came from different sources.

New script – Strips

January 18, 2021February 18, 2017 by Cassel

This week, I figured I would create a script to allow you some fun effects on photos. Those effects would be yours to choose.

You can create some interesting effect by adding shadows, layer styles, adjustment layers, and more.

Or you can blend a displaced set of layers into the original image like in the preview image to give an impression of speed.

As a free sampler, this week, I could not use this script since it applies to a particular image of yours, so, since the Bronze It script was SO popular, I created a set of tags for the 12 months of the year. You can use them to date your layouts, your adventures, or anyone's birthday.

New script – Torn Edge 2

January 18, 2021February 11, 2017 by Cassel

If you want to get the edges of a photo to be torn, it is fairly easy to do manually since the edges are straight. You can also find some standard size templates for those photos (like in the freebies below). However, if you want to have a torn edge around an element of a different shape, it can be a tedious task to do manually.

This script will use ANY shape and add a torn edge around it. You can also choose the color of the paper that will show on those edges. Even though it will often be white, you can pick ANY color. You can even be creative and use a gradient. Why not?

As a free sampler, i could have created a set of digits or an alphabet, but i thought of making a series of templates that you can use for your photos or your journaling cards. I created 4 templates with fairly standard sizes. Once the script was completed, i extracted the edges to add them as a new layer. That can now allow you to replace the grey layer by your own photo or card or paper.

There is no shadow, so you can also rotate them to be vertical if you prefer.

New script – Bronze It

January 18, 2021February 4, 2017 by Cassel

You have often seen bronzed busts or bronzed baby shoes. Those are "luxurious" elements. You can now add the same rich look to any element for your projects.

This script will turn any black and white element into a bronzed one. You can use it to create an alpha, a brad, a frame, a crest, name plate and more.

You can use any size or shape or design. Best results will be obtained with designs between 500 and 1000 pixels, but you might want a different look with different sizes.

This week, I thought of making an alphabet but i thought that the bronze texture inspired me to create elements with the 12 zodiac signs. I used a font to create those designs (you didn't think i drew them myself, did you?)

I used a vector shape for the circle then added the zodiac design on top of it. Then, i ran the script on the merged version of this (as the script can only work on ONE layer, and i wanted both the sign and the outline on a single layer).

They are in PNG format, so you can use them with almost any program.

New script – Custom Seal

January 18, 2021January 27, 2017 by Cassel

Do you like the look of a nice "official" seal to put on your project but can't find one in the color you want? Or would you like to find one that has the name of your child, or the name of the city you visited, or the specific date of your last vacation?

Of course, you can't find those in ready-made seals, but you can create your own with this script.

Use any color you want, any text, any design and even any font.

Grab this script in the store and start creating your own custom seals: Custom Seal

For a chance to win this script, you need to comment on THIS FACEBOOK POST instead of here. The winner will be announced NEXT week in the newsletter. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

Since February is coming, and so is Valentine Day, I decided to create a few seals that you could use either on scrapbook pages about your loved one or on custom card or design you might create for him/her.

They are about 1000x1000 pixels so they are large enough to use as is or size down if you need to.

New script – Word Insert

January 18, 2021January 20, 2017 by Cassel

If you have used the Word Cutout script, you know that it would only use the edge of the photo. However, sometimes, the edge holds some meaningful parts of the image and you would like to cut the words out of another location.

This is what this script will do. Just like the Word Cutout script, you can choose the text and the font, but this time, you can also select the location INSIDE the image.

That will give you more flexibility and several additional options. now you can pick any area of the photo that would be suitable for a cutout text, even if it is right in the middle!

For a chance to win this script, i decided to change things around a bit. You need to comment on THIS FACEBOOK POST instead of here. The winner will be announced NEXT week in the newsletter. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

Using a black image, 4000x3000 pixels, i ran the script 3 times to add the individual words of "Live", "Love" and "Laugh". To make them even, i used guides before running the script, so my selections were always the same height. Neat trick!

I repeated the same process for both templates.

So you are getting 2 PNG templates that you can use with your favorite photo.

New script – Jigsaw Puzzle

January 18, 2021January 14, 2017 by Cassel

Although it might be easy to create a simple puzzle with 20 or 30 pieces, it is a whole different story when you want to have hundreds of pieces.

This script will turn any photo into a 300 pieces puzzle, complete with the bevels around each piece.

But that is not all. You also get the option to separate some pieces from the main puzzle. The script will NOT create 300 individual layers (you would get lost) but will separate those pieces YOU select with a single dot. Those pieces will be on separate layers so you can manipulate them to your liking and pretend that you really have 300 separate pieces!

Since this script is to be applied to your own photo, i thought i could create a little something using last week's script, the Painted Cardboard.

In fact, i used the Waving script to create the base shapes, and then, ran the Painted Cardboard script to turn them into cardboard.

You get 5 wavy edges. Use them one at the time or layer more than one to insert elements in-between if you want.

The colors are basic white and black on neutral cardboard.

New script – Painted Cardboard

January 18, 2021January 6, 2017 by Cassel

What do you like about incorporating ripped pieces of papers in a digital project? The rustic look? Maybe. But how do you go around getting those for your layout other than scanning them?

Easy! You use a script in Paintshop Pro!

This script will let you start with any shape, in any color and it will work its magic with just a few questions to answer or choices to make. That's it! It will create the ripped uneven edges, and convert your initial color into strips of uneven paint.

And best of all, every run will yield a different result because of the random function incorporated into the script. If you don't like one result, undo (Ctrl-Z) and run again. It's that easy!

Get this script: Painted Cardboard

As a sample, i created 3 frames using this script. All three were made starting with a different gradient instead of a solid color. They are about 6 inches in the longest side so you should be able to get a photo in them.

With this rustic look, you can probably combine those frames with other elements in a cluster. That would be great! Don't you think?
