New tubes – Variegated Strings

December 30, 2020March 1, 2019 by Cassel

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.

New script – Framed Mask

January 11, 2021February 23, 2019 by Cassel

I have seen various masks made from apparent chaos of random frames while allowing the display of a single photo through all those frames. I knew how to create those manually, but figured it would be simpler for PSP users to have a tool to do all the work for them.

This script will allow you to either start with a "blank" project where all the frames will cover the center area of a full-size 3600x3600 image or use an existing photo, sized and placed in a specific location of the project and have the script create the frames over that photo. The options are numerous as you can create between 1 and 36 frames to cover that area. In the end, you get a layered template with a Mask group where you can just put your photo. No measuring, no drawing.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever used or created a similar type of mask for your project (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 sample, I am giving you the same template created in the preview. It has unmerged layers so you can add shadows on the frames if you want, you can merge them all before adding shadows or add them individually. You can also change the frame colors, add a bevel, or tweak them as you wish.

What will you do with that?? I hope you show off your project.

New script – Heart Candies

January 12, 2021February 8, 2019 by Cassel

Now, you can create as many heart-shaped candies as you want, in any color you want. And they will also have random saying on them. With additional random features integrated into the code, each candy will likely be slightly different from each other.

Choose the color (or maybe a gradient?) to match your project or your photo.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what SHORT saying you would like to see on those heart candies (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 sample, I simply am offering those candies created for the preview. You get twelve fun candies, about 300 pixels wide to use for this coming Valentine's Day project.

New script – Dated

January 12, 2021February 1, 2019 by Cassel

Some cameras will automatically add a date on your photo and often, you might want to remove those dates to concentrate on the photo itself. However, in other situations, adding a date might be needed. If your camera took the photo while saving the EXIF information, this script will retrieve that date and add it on your photo. You get to choose whether you want the date on the left or the right of the photo and in which color.

Although adding this date to a single photo is possible and quite simple, the script can also add the date on all the photos in a particular folder. In one run!

Get it in the store: Dated

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether save the EXIF or not, with your photos (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 decided to play with a recent script, the Wooden Puzzle 2, to make you a Valentine theme puzzle. This is a .pspimage (so the file is fairly big) and each element is part of a group, so you can copy and paste it onto any other project, and since all the layers are unmerged, you can move the pieces around as you wish.

New script – Bargello

January 11, 2021January 25, 2019 by Cassel

A Bargello pattern is made of multiple strips of fabric, cut into more strips and gradually offset from one another. All that delicate work is tedious when sewing fabric, and definitely as tedious if using a graphics program as it will involve multiple selections, cutting and moving.

With this script, the multiple steps will be automated, making the whole process faster and even more accurate than if you were to do everything manually. Start with a smooth gradient or separate strips of colors or patterns. The script will pick one of nine different patterns, randomly. In the end, you will have a seamless tile that you can use to fill any larger surface. Add a texture if you want.

Get it in the store: Bargello

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have ever used or made Bargello patterns (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).

I created two tiles using individual patterns: one is in the red tones, which you could use for Valentine projects and one with pastel colors for a softer type of project.

Each tile is seamless. If you want a more "accented" pattern, you can resize the tile to become narrower.

New script – Bow #14

January 11, 2021January 18, 2019 by Cassel

Who can say they have too many bows and ribbons? Not a scrapbooker! This script will let you tie a straight ribbon into a multi-loop bow, attached with a centerpiece. Each piece is left unmerged so you can tweak them separately if needed.

The script will also add a default drop shadow on the loops but all the shadows will also be left on separate layers so you can tweak them, adjust them or even replace them altogether.

Get it in the store: Bow #14

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you tend to use bows in your projects or not (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, this week, I used a starting ribbon from Janet Scott at Pixel Scrapper and modified it slightly (to make it straighter) and ran the script for the basic bow. Then, playing with the Hue map to change the colors from the base ribbon, I created 3 additional versions to run the script again. That will give you those 4 bows to use.

New script – Slashes and Colors

January 11, 2021January 4, 2019 by Cassel

This new script will allow you to slash images or shapes, in addition to add colors or patterns in various ways. Use this to create templates, add colors, make a monogram, and much more.

The slashes will be done randomly, so you will always get a different result for every run, even if you are using the exact same starting image and selected options.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you could envision creating with this script (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 a template made by running the script on a single plain back rectangle. This yielded this template that has random slashes. Use the Clip to It script to quickly fill those areas with your favorite photos very quickly.

New tubes – Candy Cane 1

January 11, 2021December 7, 2018 by Cassel

Have you ever wanted to create candy cane shapes that are not just like a cane? With these tubes, you can create candy cane circles, squares, hearts and anything in between. Since these are tubes, you can draw them in any shape, regular or irregular, and you can even just free draw them.

You get 12 different patterns and also in two formats: 3D and flat.

Get these tubes: Candy Cane 1

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what is your favorite color of candy cane (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 simple alphabet using one of the candy cane design. Each letter is about 500 pixels high in png format. You can resize them as needed.

New tubes – Silky Braids

January 11, 2021November 9, 2018 by Cassel

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.

Get it in the store: Silky Braids

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.

Get it in the store: Multi-Photo Frame 2

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what size you would likely print a frame (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 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.
