Want to give your photos a colored pencil sketch effect? This new script for PaintShop Pro lets you do just that—with adjustable layers and now a new option to apply the effect to the entire image or just a selected area.
For a sampler, I used a floral wreath design and ran the script on the whole picture. I manually removed all the white background so you can use that wreath on any paper of yours.

Wrap Your Projects with a Custom Knot in PaintShop Pro
This week’s freebie includes a finished knotted ribbon made with two contrasting patterned ribbons. It’s a 4000-pixel-wide PNG element you can use to wrap any photo, frame, or journal card.
This freebie includes a coffee-themed word art (made using the ground coffee option) and a decorative frame (created with the included picture tubes).
There are already a dozen of wood fence picture tubes and this is another set. You can draw them as long as you want and even following a slight curve. Every use of those tubes will generate a slightly different result as each planks are randomly selected.
For a sampler, I created a 4000-pixels long "beach" fence. I also decorated it and it is available in layered format (.pspimage) and you can also get only the fence itself (.png).
You can add an envelope with various papers you have. You can add some stains, distressing, or scribbles on those envelope and use them in clusters, or as elements for your project.
For a sample, I created an open envelope and added a little card. The envelope is in layered PSD format, so you can open it in most programs. You can add designs or messages on the card, but you can also add some details to the envelope itself if you want.
If you have the first set of fringe picture tubes, they are even and regular. But sometimes, you need something rougher and less regular. That is why this particular set of fringes.
To get some samples of these fringes, I created a 4000 pixels long fringe, with a wool edge. They are in greyscale so you can colorize them to match your project. I also included one layered version (in .pspimage format) and a "flat" one (in PNG format) for use in any program.
