Photoshop styles in PSP?

felt

Have you ever seen some of those awsome styles for Photoshop but could not use them because you are a PSP user?

I know i have. But i always thought that PSP could simulate those "styles", somehow. It was just a matter of time until someone would try and find out. Well, I know *I* tried. Lucky for me, I succeeded, somehow, at least with some styles.

This week, i will be releasing some "style-like presets" for PSP. This is just a sneak peak of one set. What do you think?

Keep checking as Friday should be the day of the release.

Quality Check Utility – New script

cass-quality-check-scriptWith all the focus on quality control of products in the store, this script can be a real time saver and maybe a business saver too.

This little program will not turn a bad product into a good one (i wish) but it will help with the Quality Control. In fact, it will perform several tasks for you:

1- it will check for any excess space around a png element. If there is some, it will trim it.

2- it will check for the resolution of all the png and jpg files. If the resolution is under 300 dpi, it will correct it for you.

3- it will check for gif files. Knowing that some customers are annoyed with extra blinkies that add files and weight, store owners might want to check if they are included or not. The script will not do anything to the files, but will at least let you know.

4- it will generate a QualityCheck.txt file for you that will be a report of all the files checked, whether they were ok or if they needed changes. This report can be useful to document the feedback you will give the designers. It will give you how much trimming was needed, or what was the incorrect initial resolution. That might help troubleshoot some recurring problems with some elements.

You can use this script on a single image, open in PSP, or you can use the batch process mode to check a whole folder at once.

This script is available at Creation Cassel,

One store owner tested this script, and here is what she said:

Excellent tool for all digital scrapbooking store owners, quality check team and even designers. In a few minutes you can have all checked and sure about is under the quality standards! Brilliant! Marta Pavluk , designer and store owner

Tulle lace script

cass-tulle-laceThis script will convert ANY solid shape into a tulle lace. As usual with my scripts, you are given many choices to create that tulle. You get 3 sizes for the edge (or no edge at all), 5 sizes for the mesh,  4 choices of colors (including 2 greys to colorise later), then you also have the choice of the default texture or your own. All in all, that makes for a pretty versatile script, dont you think?

Now what could you use this script for? create a frame, make a mat, copy a cutout shape, draw a star, butterfly wings, hearts, etc.

Get this script at any of my stores:

Creation Cassel, Do It Digi, Scrapping Whispers, Divine Digital.

Tulle sampler

cass-tulle-lace-samplerTomorrow, i will release this week's script, but here is a peak into what you can actually do with this script.

This sampler was made using the Tulle Lace script (available tomorrow) and the Lace Edge font that was released a few weeks ago.

What can you do with this sampler? You can colorise it, use it as a mat, cut a hole in it, decorate it with sequins or beads, fold it, etc. Show me how you use it, and let's see how many different ways it CAN be used.

Ring strap samplers

cass-ring-strap1-sample Get these 5 straps for fun. Four of them have rings on them and one strap is 4000 pixels long, yet straight so you can use it to match the ring straps.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

All the ring straps were made using the default settings of the Ring Strap #1 script.

New script – Ring strap #1

cass-ring-strap1

With this script, you will not have any excuse to not be able to attach elements to your layouts. Use those straps to attach photos, make a frame out of them, tie some flowers around, etc. This script has so many options that you can create over 100 different models of straps. In addition, since you can use your own ribbon, or generate one with your choice of colors, gradients, patterns, AND since you can use the default finish for the rings OR use your own (if you want to use SBP for example), AND you can choose the length of your strap too, well, i am sure you can make a different strap for weeks, months, and years to come! And as an added bonus, if you generate the strap through the script, you will also get a 4000 pixels straight strap to match. Isn`t that cool?

It is on sale, as usual, until Sunday, and as usual, i also have a RAK over at DST. So if you want a chance to win this script, go check this thread out.

You can get this script at these fine stores: Creation Cassel, Scrapping Whispers, and Divine Digital.

New script – Label #1

cass-label1 Create your own basic colored label. This script will generate a label that is proportional to the lenght of the text you enter. Choose the colors for the label, and the text. Choose the font you want, and the texture too. In the end, the vector layer stays intact so you can adjust the size, placement, etc. if you feel like it.

Get this script at Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and Scrapping Whispers.

It is on sale until Sunday night and if you want to win it, TWO lucky posters will win it. Check this thread at DST.

cass-label1-sample-script

Did you ever try my scripts? Do you want to try it without risking your hard earned money? Here is a sample script for you. It will create a standard 1000 x 200 pixels label, and you get to choose the color. Of course you have fewer options than with the full script, but you at least get to check them out.

Review posted

Babeth won the Lace Edge font in a draw at DST. After downloading the font and playing with it, she posted a nice review at my store:

I just try this font, its stunning. The possibilities are endless. You get fabulous effects. Congrats for this fantastic product. (Babeth)

Why dont you give it a try too?

Lace edge #1 – FONT

cass-lace-edge

Create your own lace edge with this set of TWO fonts: one to create the "thread" part and one to create the matching gems or decorations.

Use a single design repetitively, or alternate with 2-3 designs. Use them to edge some ribbons, frames, make necklaces. The possibilities are endless. The instructions are included to let you create embellished edges but you can also use the base font without any gem on it.

Use these designs on path if you want. You can use these fonts with most graphic programs.

Available here

And how about a FREE sample of what can be done with this special font?
