Did you ever want to have an acrylic element in a color that match your layout or your kit? Did you ever want such an acrylic to have a specific shape that you didn`t find ready made? With this script, you will be able to use any shape, and create its equivalent in a transparent or translucent acrylic, without altering the original layer. You will get to choose a color, gradient or pattern for the acrylic, and then, you can also choose various opacity level for your element. Basically, you end up with an infinity of possibilities for your acrylic element.
With this font, you can create patterned edges, as if you were using decorative scissors. You get 50 shapes including scallops, diamonds, waves, in various sizes, and you also get 10 irregular shapes that you can combine randomly (they are all under the number keys) for an irregular edge. Use them in a straight line or following a path to get an infinite variety of effect. Use them for the edges of your pages, the edge of mats, frames, or even the edge or your photos. Combine them by alternating two shapes (or more) for very interesting results.
If you want to print some pictures multiple times either for handing out or to add to some paper craft or hybric scrap, this script will allow you to get many copies in one single print. This should save you time and mostly money. You can print 8 different combinaisons of photos on a 4 x 6, 8 x 10 or 10 x 14 print.
This script was released last week but since i had some formatting problem with this blog, i was not able to tell you then. It is still available in various stores:
In just a few seconds, this script will eliminate single stray pixels. In a second step, it will indicate which areas still have some groups of pixels that might or might not belong there. Since YOU choose the contrasting color to use, those will be much easier to see. Once you have deleted those extra pixels, run the script a second time to remove the colored indicator. This can be a perfect tool for scrappers and designers. And if you do some quality checking, this tool will save you a lot of time and improve the quality of the products.
Take any straight element and turn it into a perfect circle. It could be a ribbon, it could be a string of elements, it could be repeated pattern, or even a text. A perfect way to create special designs for your page, your layout or your kit.
I created these fonts after several customers asked me to code scripts to add some stitchings to shapes. I figured that since you can use "-" to make some kind of stitching, and then play with the size, kerning, offset, leading, etc. to get various results, why not do a whole set of stitches as dingbats? I had fun looking through pages and pages of various stitchings available for sewing machines, and sites for handstitching too. So that lead me to create those. There are 50 different stitches in each set. And also, each set includes one "neat" version of the stitches and one "grungy" version.
The basic stitches include straight, slanted, overlock, zigzag, blind, blanket stitchings and more.
The decorative stitches include scallops, diamonds, feather, stretch, flowers, honeycombs, and more.
Since they are fonts, you can also combine them, you can also use them along a path as you would do with any text. That will give you the option of making stitches along ANY shape you want, whether it is a preset shape, a text or a freehand path. Add your own texture, add a bevel, add a shadow. Choose exactly the color you want as there is no greyscale element to colorise.
See what Guyloup did with this set of fonts.
And i also released a set of PSP brushes WITH a png format set too. A set of ABR brush is in the testing right now for Photoshop users.
In just a few seconds, you can "clean up" your multiple layers. Whether you are working on a layout or any other project, you might end up with some empty layers, some hidden ones, some layers linked together, and most likely, layers called "raster/vector" with totally mixed numbers. Well, this script will help you. It will delete all empty layers (they just take up space). It will delete hidden layers; if you are hiding them, maybe you dont need them. It will re-number the layers: keeping their attribute of "raster" or "vector", they will be numbered starting at one on top. It will unlink all the layers; maybe you linked some layers but dont need that anymore.
Get a striped or plaid paper in seconds. Starting with a base color, you will get several options to choose from, to create a 250 x 250 tile, a 1000 x 1000 tagger size paper or a 3600 x 3600 full size paper. Run the script several times, and always get a different combination. And in the end, you can keep the stripes, or make it into a plaid. With all the options available, you have over 100 possible combinations, plus a randomized result. Add your own texture if you want, add an overlay or apply other effects. A great way to create matching striped/plaid papers for a kit.
Get a great variety of scratched texture looks on your images. You get to choose to have either large, medium or fine scratches, but also horizontal, vertical or crisscrossed ones. The result can vary depending on the size of the starting picture. You can work on a background image, a vector or a raster layer. You can repeat the script on multiple layers if you want.
Apply this effect onto pictures, tubes, text, anything.
Do you hate adding shadows to your layouts or your kit previews, one by one? This script will save you a lot of time while doing this tedious and repetitive task. You get to choose the settings you want for your shadows: choose its orientation, its color, its opacity, etc. YOU choose the setting and the script will apply it to the elements/papers. The shadows will be added in four steps: for very thin elements (like papers), for thin elements (like ribbbons, staples), for medium elements (like paperclips and flat buttons) and for thick elements (like beads, flowers). And if some elements need a different type of shadows, you will simply add it at the end. It is that easy.
Compatible for versions 8 and up.
Available in all my stores, and on special over the weekend too.
TrishH Design tested this script and allowed me to use her Dani's Summer Evening kit. Here is what Trish had to say about this script:
I actually timed how long it took me to do the preview with doing shadows on my own... and then how long it took for the script to do the shadows for me and honestly it saved me 12 minutes! I would use this script over and over again. I loved how it allowed you to choose different shadows for the papers, small elements and large elements.
As a designer/ preview maker, using this script I would for sure be able to make great quality previews in no time at all.
