New script – Scattered Elements

April 17, 2021April 17, 2020 by Cassel

Scatter elements with a script for PaintShop Pro Sometimes, designers would like to create a set of scattered elements as embellishment and although it is easy to do, it can also be quite tedious depending on the number of copies they want.

This script was inspired by a request from Mimi who likely wanted to create such scatters and wanted to save time. And this is exactly what this script will do as it will copy and multiply an element from the active layer as many times as you want, adding some rotation, and resizing to each individual element. And you can repeat the process with up to 3 different elements.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what elements you would like to use to create some scatters (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 ran the script on three star shapes. I added the bevel and the shadows after the script so that everything would be angled correctly and have consistent lighting. The whole scatter is 2000 pixels wide and does include shadows, so that layered elements could be shadowed correctly.

New script – Marble Beads

April 3, 2020 by Cassel

You can easily create solid color beads with the Balls and Bubbles effect, but in order to add a random marble texture to those solid colors, you need to add a few more steps.

This is what this script will do with any color you want to use. You can use gradients too (and even patterns if you want) to create your beads. The script will add a new marble texture for every bead so every one of them would end up being totally unique even if you are using a single color to start with.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what color(s) you would like to use to create these beads (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 am sharing the pink beads that I created for the preview. With Mother's Day coming in May for parts of the world (I know, in UK it is already passed), you can create something for that special woman in your life. Just save the .pspTube file in your Picture Tubes and it will show up for you.

New script – Patchwork 2

March 27, 2020 by Cassel

Creating patchwork can be a very tedious way to display various colors or designs, but with PaintShop Pro, you can create them much faster than sewing them piece by piece.

With this script, you won't have to cut and sew and you won't even have to copy and paste either as it will take care of that for you. It will even add the stitching if you want (which is a BIG time-saver). The stitching is left in an unmerged vector format, so you can use it to add details to the path with a Vector script.

Get it in the store: Patchwork 2

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have ever created a patchwork quilt 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).

To create this week's freebie, I simply used 4 basic papers that were made of solid colors with a texture added. No other pattern since I wanted the patchwork itself to show the design. I used 4 solid colors and ran the script. At the end, I ran the VectorPaint script to add some chain stitching instead of the straight stitching generated by the script.

New script – Knot #15

March 20, 2020 by Cassel

In order to get a perfectly matching knot, you would need to use your own ribbon. It might not be so hard as you can colorize one already made, but in order to get a double knot, that will become much more difficult.

This script will use any straight ribbon of your choice to create this double knot. That way, you can match it with other elements created with that straight ribbon, like a frame or even a bow.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would attach with this knot (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 started by editing a star-patterned ribbon with pastel colors, then used a solid colored ribbon and colorized it to match the little stars. The end result is a set of four double knots with pastel colors.

New script – Paint Splash

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 by Cassel

If you want a totally unique effect applied to your photos, this script is what you need.

It will apply a paint splash effect to any section of your photo that you will delimitate, in a random manner. Furthermore, you can easily tweak the end result at the end with one of the 7 brushes that are included or your own.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what element would you decorate with these punches (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 mask using the same brush tips but in a more generic shape since the script would otherwise run on a custom shape on your own photo. You can use this mask on any photo of your choice.

New Brushes – Edge Punches A

March 6, 2021March 6, 2020 by Cassel

If you were to work with traditional paper scrapbooking, you would likely own and use some punches that would create cutouts on your papers, so why not do the same with your PaintShop Pro?

These brushes can be used as punches if you use them with the Eraser tool but you can also use them with the regular Brush tool to add printed designs on your papers.

As a sampler, I used Brush #12 to punch out the middle area but added extra frames on new layers to then merge them together. I colorized with gold dust and added a bevel for a more 3D effect.

New script – Shamrock

February 29, 2020February 29, 2020 by Cassel

Whether you are celebrating St-Patrick's day or not, you might want to add a shamrock shape to your project.

This script will use a regular straight ribbon and cut multiple pieces to shape that element. Since you can use any ribbon, you are sure to get something that will match your project. You can even add a stitching if you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what other basic shapes you would like to create with ribbons (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

New tubes – Cereals

February 21, 2020 by Cassel

Where can you find your favorite cereals in digital form to use on your next project? If someone has made an element out of cereal, will they fit your particular need? Did you need a frame? a scatter? large or small?

These picture tubes were extracted, one by one, and combined into random tubes so you can scatter them the way you want and where you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what type of bows you prefer (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 free sample, I created some wide-bottom digits out of acrylics and filled them with 5 different types of cereals.

Each one is about 600 pixels in height so you can resize them as needed for your own project.

New script – Bow #15

February 15, 2020 by Cassel

Do you like droopy bows? They can be a fun change from the standard "straight" bows that we see all over, but how do you get something that will match your project?

This script will use your own thin ribbon and will create your bow with two droopy loops and long ends.

Get this script in the store: Bow #15

For a fun Valentine project, you can use this droopy bow made of a custom heart ribbon. This was a simple ribbon made and then, I ran the script on it. That is all. It is now yours to use in your layout.

New tubes – Heart Chains C

February 7, 2020 by Cassel

With these picture tubes, you can add a single link or a whole chain of linked hearts to your project. You can draw them as long as you want them, and you can also place them along a path for a very regular arrangement.

You get a total of 12 different tubes: 4 designs and 3 tones.

Use them individually to add to a cluster or make a whole chain with them.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you would most likely use a script for precise placement or hand draw them (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 large frames with a rose gold chain of hearts with the VectorTube script to follow the exact shapes drawn. Each frame is about 3000 pixels in height so you can resize them as needed for your photo or your project.
