New script – Pencil Sketch

July 18, 2021July 16, 2021 by Cassel

Pencil Sketch script for PaintShop Pro With this script, you can showcase any section of your photo and turn it into a pencil sketch.

You can use this effect to create an interesting background for your project. You can even use badly colored (or discolored) photos to still showcase them beautifully.

Each run of the script will yield a different result as there is a random feature integrated in the script.

For a sample, since this script should be applied to a specific photo, I used the same brush that is included in the zip file to create an artsy mask. The whole page is full-size, and includes a mask and a frame that you can tweak, recolor, move, etc. Use it to showcase your favorite photo.

New script – Fancy Frames

July 9, 2021 by Cassel

Working with vector nodes can be tedious and even annoying. In order to create symmetric shapes for new frames, labels and paths, it is very time-consuming.

This script will generate vector outlines that you can use in a variety of ways. Since they are vectors, you can resize them as needed. You can tweak them too (if you want to play with the nodes). You can change the color and the thickness of the outline. You can add a fill and even remove the outline. Then, since they are vectors, you can use a variety of scripts to turn them into something unique, whether it is with tubes, brush strokes, etc.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you could use these vector outlines for (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 some shapes and picked one I liked. I used the VectorTube script to apply a Natural rope tube along the way. Then, I added some seashells and greeneries I had. The whole frame is about 1800 pixels wide and in PNG format. It has some drop shadows already.

New script – Line Pattern 2

July 2, 2021 by Cassel

Creating new paper designs can often be a tedious task. You can either hand draw them, or use a template. Either one has its drawbacks.

This script will randomly create some quatrefoil designs for you and you can use them as fill, adjusting the scale and the angle as you wish. You can colorize the lines or even fill the shape in for a completely different result.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever used a quatrefoil pattern before (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, I simply share the PNG version of three tiles created with the script. You can use them with any background, change the color, adjust the scale or the angle. Once merged with a background paper, you can add some grungy edges or textures.

New script – Datestamps #10

June 24, 2021 by Cassel

Datestamps come in many shapes and colors, and although they are traditionally meant to identify a country you travelled to, you can definitely be creative and use them to add other details to your projects whether it is a date, a location, or a name.

For this script, you have the option to create the datestamp with any color, texture or text. You can choose the font for the center text.

New script – Carpet texture

June 18, 2021 by Cassel

Do you sometimes wish you had a carpet background for a renovation or a decoration-themed project?

This script will allow you to convert any shape into a carpet. It could be letters, numbers, preset shapes or even designs you might have drawn by hand.

You can also choose any solid color, gradient or even patterns for your carpet.

There are 8 different textures you can choose from or you can let the script pick one at random for a surprise effect.

New script – Button Machine 3

June 12, 2021 by Cassel

Buttons are often used in projects, whether it is to "fasten" elements, add to clusters or simply decorate a page, we always look for something new. This script will allow you to create up to 20 buttons in one run, and you can choose any color palette, so it will match your project.

All the buttons have a sort of embossed design, making them different than previous button machine products.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you tend to use buttons for in your projects (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 freebie, I ran the script with a 6-color palette and generated 20 different buttons. Then, I thought of kids using a bunch of buttons to make frames, whether it is for an end-of-school project, Mother's Day, or just for fun, so I created such a frame with those 20 buttons (and a few duplicates). You get the frame and all the buttons so you can create matching decorations with the same buttons

New tubes – Hedges

June 4, 2021 by Cassel

In order to use hedges on your projects, you might have to rely on ready-made ones. Unfortunately, those might not be the length or the shape you need.

These tubes will generate a 1000 pixels high hedge along any grounds you want, whether they are straight or uneven. And you can "draw" them as long as you want. Each one will be slightly different as there are dozens of random "columns" that the program will pick from.

You also get the "individual" picture tubes, if you want to add the same greenery in smaller areas.

Get them in the store: Hedges

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you would use a hedge in a 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 sampler, I created a lattice frame and added some of the "individual" picture tubes (since you would not see it if it were a full-height hedge! The full frame is a bit more than 1200 pixels per side. Use it to frame a photo or a quote or even some journaling.

New script – Glitters C

May 28, 2021 by Cassel

Using a glitter tile can be a quick way to add glitters to a project, however, if you need that on a large surface, you might end up with a repeated pattern (even if it is seamless).

Glitter tiles would not allow you to add glitters in a "gradient" way, nor to use a pattern. This is what this script can do for you. Instead of creating a TILE that will repeat, it will generate glitters on the whole surface of a layer, the same size as your active image. This means there will never be a visible seam or repeat. And you can use it with a gradient or a pattern too.

Get it in the store: Glitters C

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have even used balloon letters in a 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).

For a freebie, I generated a golden glitter sheet and used it to cut out a simple alphabet. Each letter is about 350 pixels. The original glitters paper (3600x3600 pixels) is also included for you to use to create other matching elements.

New Script – Balloon Text

May 21, 2021 by Cassel

Now, for any type of celebration project, you can add balloons while writing a word, a number, a date or any other message.

This script will create a balloon from any character, in any font (of course, simple and bold fonts work best but you are not limited to them). You can choose any color, or even a gradient or a pattern.

The script will create a knot but you will have to put it where you like it.

For a sampler, I created a complete alpha (uppercase only) of red balloons. Each balloon is about 600 pixels high.

New script – Nested Frames

May 14, 2021 by Cassel

In order to create evenly spaced nested frames, you will need a lot of calculations. And if the focus area is not in the very center of your image, it means calculating the spacing separately for four sides. That can be a real challenge.

This script will take care of everything for you, while you only have to select the number of frames, their thickness and colors. The rest is handled by the script.

At the end, the frames will be left on their own layer so you can add more effects to them (bevel, shadows, texture, etc.) or use those frames to select parts of the photo and give it more variations (saturation, lightness, colors, etc.)

Get this script in the store: Nested Frames

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you ever used nested frames in the past (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 this week's sample, I created a set of nested frames to fit a 7x5 inch image. Since the frames are white and have no bevel or shadows, you can flip them, mirror them or rotate them to fit your photo. Add whatever effect you want to the frames or use them to apply effects to the photo.

Noticed that I had a little play on the preview: Although it might look like I cut the frames, I actually made some selection from the photo, promoted those selections to their own layer, and move that layer on top of the frames. This allows me to move the frames if needed, as they are still intact.
