New script – Datestamps #12

Datestamp script for PaintShop ProDatestamps can be used for much more than just dates. It is a way to add a name, a location, an event, or even a common phrase that can be associated with a photo or a story.

There are different Datestamps in the store and this one is the 12th in the series.

This script allows  you to choose the text and color of your choice, but you also get the choice for the top and the middle font, which can be identical or different. In addition, the zip file comes with five brushes to add some designs in the center of the datestamp. You can also keep it empty and add something else, later.

Datestamps for the months in PNG formatFor a sample, I created a set of 12 datestamps with the months of the year. I have three years listed on top so you can always circle the one that matches your project. I purposefully left the space empty at the very bottom so you can add a date if you want. Everything is in greyscale so you can colorize it, and it is in png format.

New script – Newspaper Alpha

Newspaper alphabet script for PaintShop ProNewspapers can be a fun medium to print letters on, and create a random effect. This might be easy but it is quite tedious to have something very irregular. That is why this script will be a time-saver.

The script will let you choose several fonts that will be used at random (you can also choose only one font if you want). Then, you can also select up to 6 colors that will also be selected at random. Finally, you can ask the script to respect the cases or mix up the uppercase and lowercase for the characters you chose.

And you can even choose to have tinted paper if you want to match a color palette.

New script – Quick Guides

Quick guides for PaintShop ProWhen working with PaintShop Pro to create frames or other effects, it is convenient to use guides so we can snap to them and keep our elements, our lines, or brush strokes aligned. Although adding guides along the edges of any image is not really difficult, it is a little tedious to place them exactly on the edges, especially for all four sides. Furthermore, if you want to place guides in the very center, you have to do some calculations too.

This is what this script will do for you, and in a single click too!

You can now get this script for FREE in the store (you still have to go through the checkout though). Quick Guides

Since this script is free, there is no random draw to win it, but if you want to add a comment on Facebook, you can do so on this post.

As a utility script, I can hardly create a sample from using it, right? So, as a freebie, I decided to create a mask template for you using the Fireworks picture tubes available in the Campus for the January theme blog post (you can get those tubes HERE).

New script – Scatter Brush

Scatter Brush script for PaintShop ProCreating a seamless background design is fairly easy when using PaintShop Pro, but covering a whole surface in random design is much more challenging. In addition, trying to avoid overlaps is an added difficulty.

This script will take a single brush tip of your choice and cover any surface with it, in a random manner. You won't see any repeat and very little overlap. This will be perfect for backgrounds.

Scattered background design for summer and winterFor a sample of this script, I am sharing two full-size papers: one for your winter projects and one for summer. For the winter paper, I manually added the white pompoms while I locked the transparency on the layer. It is a little tedious but the result is worth it. For the summer paper, I used a dolphin brush in blues and added a few starfish afterward. Both papers are available with a background (in jpg format) and without (in png format).

New script – Chevrons 4

Chevron pattern script for PaintShop ProYou might be familiar with the regular straight chevron designs, but how about the curved ones? How would you do that? Doing it manually is a bit tedious but with a script, you can generate many seamless tiles in one run.

You can then use these tiles as a fill design to create papers, frames, and backgrounds.

New script – Bow #20

Bow script for PaintShop ProA simple bow might be all you need for your project, but how do you find the correct one? Using a ready-made bow and colorizing it might work but might also be a lot of work.

This script will use any straight ribbon and cut random pieces from it to create the bow. This means that even using the same starting ribbon, you will have different results.

In the center, you can let the script use the ribbon for the knot or choose a solid color for a contrasting effect.

You can use ready-made buttons, but they might not be exactly the color you want. Or, if you want to turn them, the bevels and lighting are not perfect. But with this script, you can get a series of similar, yet unique buttons. And you can generate up to 20 at one time. Keep the ones you need and discard the rest.
