New script – Stray pixel catcher

cass-stray-pixel-catcherIn 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.

This is a VERY handy tool for PSP users.

It is available at:

Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and Divine Digital

There is also a RAK available here if you want to try to win it.

Stitching fonts

cass-basic-stitches-font  cass-deco-stitches-font

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.cass-deco-stitches-font-600

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.

Get those stitches at Creation Cassel.

Multi-tool script for PSP

cass-multi-tool

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.

Stripes #1 – PSP script

cass-stripes1Get 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.

Available at CreationCassel, Scraphead, Scrapping Whispers, Divine Digital

Scratched texture – PSP script

cass-scratchedGet 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.

Available at Creation Cassel, and all my other stores.

Check here to see different types of scratches you can create.

And remember that you can use this texture for graet grungy papers too!

Shadow placer – New script

cass-shadow-placer
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.

Element separator

cass-element-separatorDid you ever make or puchase a set of elements that were all on one layer? Did you want to separate them in individual files for easier access instead of cutting them out every time? This script will do just that. The script will cut out each element, and save it with the name you choose and a number to identify. It can save up to 50 individual files in one folder. Very useful to separate alphas that are made on single sheets. Be sure to follow the instructions included in the readme file.

This script is available at all my stores:
Creation Cassel
Scrapping Whispers
Divine Digital
Scraphead
and it is on special until Sunday night.

Note that this script was part of my Designer Tools Grab Bag #1

Crochet Lace #2 – new script

cass-crochet2

Did you like the first Crochet lace script? This is my second one (and probably not the last either). I love to code those laces. And this time, you can also have a fringe added or not. It is your choice.

Since this script allows you to colorise the rows separately, i found a great trick. Look at the bottom sample lace: i colorised the first few rows with a certain setting, with the Lightness set to about -75. Later on, i would just change the lightness and go -55,  -35, -15, 15, 35, 55, etc. That is how i got that gradient effect. Neat isn't it?

You can get this lovely lace script at any of my stores, listed on the left. If you get it, and like it, be sure to leave some feedback.

cass-crochet2_01Now, look at what Linda did with this script (and also the Curved photo script and the Ribbon #1 script). She used kits from Eden and Millcreek Canyon from Amanda Thorderson. Isn't that layout gorgeous?

Template maker – PSP script

cass-template-makerWith this script, you can turn ANY layered layout of yours, into a template that you can give away or sell. And it takes only a few seconds too. Do you still have some layered templates around? Why not turn them into templates to share with your friends, or sell in your store, or give as freebies on your blog?

If you also have some layered elements (envelopes, animals, etc.), you can also turn them into greyscale layered templates. Those are very popular lately as customers will be able to use their own color, pattern, paper, etc.

Check them in the store: Template Maker

cass-template-maker-sample

As a demonstration, I am sharing with you, the actual template I made for the preview, using that script.

It is full size, but rectangular. It includes a layered PSD file, and a set of png files with the individual layers, for those who cannot use layered file format.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

If you use this template, why not show me your layout. I might just as well display it on my blog.

And if you are template makers, this script might be a time saver for you! Check it out in my stores.
