New tubes – Silky Braids

January 11, 2021November 9, 2018 by Cassel

Silky Braid picture tubes for PaintShop Pro Directional tubes are perfect to create decorative elements in any length and shapes. These are no exception. They are extracted from silky braids and tweaked to be directional and as seamless as possible. You get 12 different colors of silky braids to use in various ways, to create straight trims and frames.

You can use your cursor to make freehand designs or use the VectorTube script to create very regular shapes too.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you what tends to be your favorite color for trims (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).

For a sample, this week, I created a triple frame but also included the individual frames so you can use them separately. I simply started with a vector ellipse and ran the VectorTube script. I changed the size of the ellipse every time to have different size of frames without resizing the frames (or the trims) themselves.

New script – Multi-Photo Frame 2

January 11, 2021November 2, 2018 by Cassel

Instead of starting with a fixed photo shape and ending up with an odd sized frame, how about starting with the final frame size and working your way back to the size of the individual images.

With this script, there is no calculating, no aligning. Everything is done for you, in a very short time. And everything is perfectly aligned and ready for you to add your photos.

You can create a frame up to 24 x 24 inches with up to 100 photos. And if you want to, you can even tweak the photo spots and remove some to allow you for a title or quote on top, on the bottom, on the side or even in the center. A very versatile layered frame for you to customize to your liking.

Since everyone loves to display their own photos, I am offering you the layered template in .pspimage version of the frame showcased in the preview. Each photo spot is part of a mask group so that you just have to copy and paste your photo inside that group for it to show through. No need to select, or delete anything.

New script – Knot #14

January 12, 2021October 26, 2018 by Cassel

Nobody ever has too many ribbons, bows and knots in a toolbox. This script allows you to create a layered knot from any straight ribbon. Whether you have an opaque ribbon or a translucent one, or even a lacy one. Whether your design is simple or even directional, and the script will align the elements correctly. Although you need a ribbon that is 18 times its thickness to get the full effect (with directional design mostly), you can have great alignment of the design.

In the end, the layers are left linked but unmerged so you can insert elements in the loops for a custom effect.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you what you tend to tie with knots (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 am offering you the same knots as in the preview. I edited the files so that the whole knot is one layer and the back loop is on a separate layer. That should allow you to insert something in that loop.

New script – Accordion

January 12, 2021October 20, 2018 by Cassel

Do you sometimes want to use an accordion fold on an image or a roadmap? It is a fun way to display an image but it can be quite tedious to complete accurately. You need to measure, cut, skew, and align each piece correctly. In addition, there is also a matter of light and dark on each piece to make them consistent with the light source.

If you want to make it faster, this script will do it all for you in a matter of seconds.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you might use this script for (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).

Since this script is applied directly to a photo that is yours, you likely would not care for a sample from my photos. So I decided to create a few straight ribbons in Halloween colors, and run them through the Knot #13 script. You now have 3 straight ribbons and 3 matching knots to embellish your own Halloween themed projects. What will it be?

New script – Fanned Photo Collage

January 12, 2021October 13, 2018 by Cassel

Placing photos in a fanned display is not very difficult, but it can be tedious, especially if you have many photos. That is where this script comes in. It will automate every step, from opening the images, resizing them, copying and pasting them, rotating them correctly and aligning them precisely. In addition, the script can also add a white border and/or a drop shadow to each of the photos in the same run.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever arranged photos in such a manner (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).

For a sampler, I was a bit unsure what to give you. Well, I used the display from the preview and I made a layered template for you. It is in .pspimage format and has mask groups so you can simply place the photos inside those groups and only the area within the frame will show through, even if your photo is larger than that "hole". That means you have no cutting or trimming to do with your photos.

New script – Wooden Fence

January 12, 2021September 29, 2018 by Cassel

If you want a custom fence, you can do it with individual posts and boards you can measure and layer. It might not be too hard, but takes a while to build. What if you can create one in just a few seconds?

That is what this script will do, creating the fence of your dream based on any wooden texture image, and your choice of the length and the height, plus the number of posts you want. The script will do the rest.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what is your favorite color of the twelve included (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).

Running this script with a simple wood texture image, I created this fence that is in separate layers for you to tweak it.

You can also resize it if you want.

New tubes – Twisted Cords

January 12, 2021September 22, 2018 by Cassel

You can draw a fun twisted cord any length or any shape you want, using this set of picture tubes. You get 12 different colors that you can combine with any theme or color palette you have. Of course, you can also tweak the colors to get something more muted, or pastel if that is what you need.

Use the VectorTube script to place them neatly along a vector path.

Get this set in the store: Twisted Cords

As a sampler, you can get ahead of everyone with these fun Halloween tags, decorated with the twisted cords and cute little black cats. You get 5 tags with combinations of black and orange cords.

Each tag is about 1000 pixels high, in .png format.

New script – Etched Glass

January 12, 2021September 14, 2018 by Cassel

How about creating a fun and unique etched element in the shape and color of your choice. This script will allow you to do just that to create alphabets, titles, shapes even frames starting with a simple black and white image.

Use a larger shape in order to get the best results. You can always resize later as needed.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would write on those buttons (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).

Using the script, I created a set of 13 arrows from 4 different shapes. Because of the 3D effect applied to the elements, it is not possible (or recommended) to rotate them more than just a little without messing up the light and shadows from the elements themselves. That is why, each shape has been run the script in different orientations. These arrows will be a great way to add focus to an element of your project.

New script – Date Button 1

January 12, 2021September 7, 2018 by Cassel

There are various ways to add a date, but did you ever think of writing it on a button? Why not? They are perfect in size to add small text like a date and with this script, you can customize it with the color, gradient, pattern, text, font or even other designs.

Once the button is done, you can either stick it to your project or add a string made from a picture tube. You could also add a little bow if you have one!

Get it in the store: Date Button 1

For this week, I created a set of 13 buttons that you can use with those school pictures that you just took, or had for years, whether they are yours or your children's or grandchildren's.

If you have only one photo, or if you have all of them, you are covered!

New script – Vector Label

January 12, 2021August 24, 2018 by Cassel

If you want to create your own labels, it might not be too difficult, but how about creating it faster than if you did them manually?

This script will create 3 labels with different edges (straight, scallops and pinking) with your starting vector shape. You choose the colors, gradients or patterns and the script will do the rest.

Even when the script is done, you are still in control as each element is left on separate layers so you can use them all or only a few. That is your choice!

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you prefer labels with or without lines (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 set of labels based on a simple diamond shape. The paper is a light yellow and the accents are made of gold patterns.

Each label in the set is created using some or all of the elements from the resulting files after running the script.
