New script – Slanted Slats

Slanted Slats script for PaintShop ProYou can create slats at an angle, but it is tedious to measure all those pieces one by one.

With this script, you can complete the process in just a few seconds, and have options to set the number of slats, their angle, the gap between them, but also, you can have each piece on individual layers, have them all on a single layer, or even have them converted into a mask.

Lots of options offered with a single script.

Slanted Slats template for PaintShop ProSince this script allows you to create a mask out of the settings you chose, I did just that. I started with a large, 3000x3000 black image, and created a layered mask file. You just have to add your photo and that's it. If you find that the mask is way too large, resize it before adding the photo. You can even resize it without keeping the proportions if your photo is rectangular and you don't want it square.

Rainbow Layered Cake in PNG formatI baked all day to give you this delicious multi-layered rainbow cake, complete with colorful icing.

Once I created the cake with the various layers and icing, I created one last layer of icing that I moved on the top. I added some shading and to make the icing between the layers a bit irregular, I ran the Warp Brush along the edges, which gives a more realistic look. Then, adding a small shadow gives the impression of that icing oozing out of the layers.

New script – Slats

Slats script for PaintShop ProUsing slats on a photo is a unique way to showcase it, but it can be tedious to create manually. Furthermore, if you want to showcase a particular area of the photo without cutting it off, you can no longer use a ready-made template as it might not suit your specific image or size or preference.

This script will create slats but you will start by setting the "untouched" area and the slats will be added left/right or up/down that main selection. And you get more options for the creation of those slats. Finally, the script will also add a set of frames that you can keep or not, or customize with a different color, with additional effects, etc.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have ever used slats before (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

Slat template for PaintShop ProFor a sampler, I created this template for you. It will help you showcase an element that would be off center. You can mirror it too, if your element is on the right.

You can change the color of the frame, add a bevel or other textures. You can add shadowing if needed.

For the background, you can simply use a solid color from your image or a pattern that matches. Or you can duplicate your photo and move that duplicate to the "background" layer and play with the opacity, the color, etc. for another unique display.

New tubes – Crochet Lace Tubes 4

Crochet Lace Edge picture tubes for PaintShop ProThese crochet lace tubes will allow you to create edges of any length you want, and even add some wave to it (not too much as it would distort the design). Once you have your straight (or almost straight) lace, you can turn it into a frame, or just add it to a cluster along with other decorative elements.

New Script – Gradient Creator

New tubes – Variegated Strings

It might be fairly easy to find single color tubes to create a string. In fact, there is one that comes (or came) by default with PaintShop Pro. Strings with two colors can also be found (in the store) but they are much less common. But for variegated strings or ropes, this one is a first as far as I know.

As you draw with these tubes, the colors will change as if you were using traditional variegated wool to knit a project.
