New script – Glitches

by

Looking to add a modern, tech-inspired twist to your text or shapes in PaintShop Pro? The new Glitches script offers a fun and creative way to simulate digital distortion effects. Whether you're going for a retro screen error or an edgy design element, this script gives you multiple options to customize the look.

You can choose from three distinct glitch styles—color shift, warp lines, or block shifts—each simulating a different kind of digital interference. On top of that, you decide whether to add colored edges or keep the original image intact. With adjustable intensity and support for both text and vector shapes, this script lets you quickly achieve a unique, glitched aesthetic without complex editing.

New picture tubes – Gimp Trims 3

by

The first Gimp trims were released 13 years ago! But these are slightly different.

You can create delicate ribbons in any length and any shape you want. Use your cursor to draw your ribbons freely, or you can use the VectorTube script to place them along a precise path. Since these ribbons are a little wide, make sure you use a large enough shape and avoid tiny corners and curves.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what kind of trim you would like to see as picture tubes (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 samplers, I created two frames for you. Each one is made from running the VectorTube script twice on a simple shape. One trim is full size while the inside trim is half-size for an interesting effect.

New script – Foliage 3

by

You can turn any vector shape into a fun and colorful flower-filled element with this script. Whether it’s a number, a letter, or a custom shape, you’ll get a unique result with one of five different floral textures.

You can choose the size and the flower style, and the script will do the rest. It’s a great way to add seasonal accents, decorative titles, or nature-inspired clusters to your projects.

For a sampler, I created a full alphabet using a nice script font and the pink flowers. Each letter is about 900 pixels high so you would have the opportunity to resize them to fit your project.

New script – Admission Tickets 4

by

You can use admission tickets to add a name, a date, a location, and you can even have a single one or a whole strip of them. These can be included as part of a cluster, sneaking out of a photo, or a full strip can be used as a divider.

You can include any text, choose the font, and select the colors to match your project.

New script – Custom Kit Tags

by

If you want some variety in tags but you want them to match the kit you are creating or using, this script will give you plenty of them. You can create up to 25 tags to choose from. Each tag will be created based on any papers you open.

The end result is on unmerged layers so you can tweak each of them further. You can change the color of the outline, add a grungy texture, add text, trim sections of the overlay, adjust its opacity, or even change its default color.

For a sample, I generated 12 different tags using papers from the mini-kit Countryside from Jessica Dunn. Each tag is 500x700 pixels in PNG format so you can use them with any program. Each tag also has a hole that you can use to thread a string, a chain, or a ribbon.

New Brushes – Easter Punches

by

By popular demand, another set of punches has been created, this time with an Easter theme! This collection includes 12 designs, featuring corner punches, edge punches, and individual elements like eggs, chicks, and flowers.

Since they are brushes, you can use them as punches with the Eraser tool or as regular brushes with the Brush tool.

New Script – Uneven Lines

by

Although you can create uneven lines manually, it can be tedious to repeat the process for many lines on a page.

This script will generate a full-size page of lines in the color of your choice (and up to 6 different colors) with additional options for the line thickness, the line spacing, and amount of distortion for the lines. With the random function integrated in the script, no two lines will be identical and you will get a different result every time you run the script.

The end result will be on a transparent background so you can duplicate that layer, mirror it, rotate it, or modify it however you want for many more creative results.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever created/used uneven lines as a background (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, I created two full-size pages of uneven lines. One will be using pastel colors, perfect for spring or Easter, and one has bold colors, perfect for a crafty of kid theme. They are in PNG format, so you can duplicate them and create different variations.

New script – Alpha-Tags 3

by

You can create a whole alphabet from any paper you have. You can choose any basic paper and the script will randomly select a different area of the paper so each tag will be different, even though they will all match.

You can choose any font, any characters, and any color. This is perfect if you want to create tags for different languages with accented characters. Each layer will be left unmerged so you can adjust any of them further.

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, I created a complete alphabet (with a blank and a hyphen). Each tag is 500 pixels high so you can resize them if needed. Add a string, a rope, or a ribbon to attach them together if you want.

New script – Stretched Pixels

by

A great way to showcase a particular subject can be to add a colorful circle based on the image colors. The advantage of this script is that you won't be limited to a straight rectangular section to select the colors. In fact, you will be able to draw over the image where are the most colorful section you want to use.

Once the script has completed, you will have three circles generated from the exact section you have selected. You can use either one or more than one circle and place it/them behind your subject. It will obviously give a better result if your subject is isolated, but you can also use the circles creatively.

For a sample, since this script relies heavily on your own photo, I decided to create a set of sprinkles picture tubes for your Valentine photos, or any other project you want to create. One set is using shades of pink, the other uses shades of red.

New script – Radial Shape

by

Creating a radial design might be fairly easy using the kaleidoscope command, but that does not give you all the flexibility of ajusting the colors, using asymmetrical shapes, or getting perfectly sized rings. This can only be done with careful and tedious calculations.

Luckily, a script can do all that in a fraction of the time and with more precision than you could. You can get something original and use it in many ways.

For a sample, I created a basic design with hearts (perfect for Valentine Day). It is black but with the Locked Transparency, you can change its color and you can use gradients too. If you want to use it as a mask, you can do that too.
