New tubes – Netting

Netting picture tubes for PaintShop ProWhether you want to create a nautical project or find a way to have a different type of background, you can use these picture tubes. They are completely seamless so you can juxtapose them on top of each other to make a tall net. Then, you can use the Warp Mesh, or the Deformation map to give some movement to the net. Finally, add elements to your page, whether they are beach elements or photos you will attach with clothespins.

Netting background in png formatFor a sampler, I created a full-size 3600x3600 image with a neutral color netting. You can erase some parts, you can use the Warp Brush, or Deformation map to make waves, etc. It is a png format so you can add whatever background you want, or even thread ribbons, vines or other elements through the mesh.

New script – Beads Maker 3

Beads Maker script for PaintShop ProYou can now create as many beads as you want to perfectly match your project, and in a short time.

You can pick up to 10 colors and the script will combine them to create gradients that will be unique to each bead. Generate up to 25 beads per run of the script. Keep the ones you like, discard the others. Use those beads to embellish alphas, frames, tags, or string them together (just make sure you don't rotate them too much or the light spot will become inconsistent with the rest of your project).

Translucent glass beads in png formatFor a sampler, I used the color palette from the June Blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com and created 15 beads. Each bead is 200 pixels in diameter. You can collect other supplies in the Blog Train in this thread.

New script – Imprint

You can now turn any shape into an impression on your project, whether it is supposed to be sand, playdough or cardboard.

You can choose any shape or text and, depending on the effect you want, and the size you have, you get three possible depth to select from. You might need to experiment with the settings. In the end, you can also adjust the opacity to make the impression more obvious if you have a busy background. And don't worry, you can move it around if you are unsure where you want it on your project.

For a sampler, I created some fun imprints of sound effects like you would find in comic books. They are about 600-700 pixels in width and in PNG format. You would get a great result by changing the blend mode to Overlay once the elements are on your project. That will make the colors pop.

New script – Word Frame 5

Word Frame script for PaintShop ProYou can now create your own frame to showcase your favorite photo. No more hoping to find a ready-made frame that has a word suitable for you. You can choose any text you want, and even a specific location or date that is personalized to tell your story.

This script allows you to create a variety of frames, with text or empty sections. You can choose any font you want and the frame will be adjusted to the exact dimensions to fit the word. You can get one or two sections with text or blank. You can decide on the thickness of the frame.

The frame will be on its own layer so you can add effects, bevel, shadow, etc. and you can even use it separately, without any photo.

Word frames in png formatAs a sampler, I created three frames starting from a 1400x1400 pixels blank image. I added the text on top and created an empty section on the bottom. I simply filled that section with various designs to match the top part. Each frame is black, but you can colorize them however you need to fit your project.

New Picture Tube – Braided Ribbons

Braided Ribbons picture tubes for PaintShop ProIf you ever braided ribbons in the past, you know that they could make for a nice long element that can then be used in various shapes. This is the same that you can do with PaintShop Pro and this set of picture tubes.

The set includes 10 colors plus a grey one that you can colorize if the base colors are not what you need.

Draw with your cursor or use the VectorTube script to place them perfectly along a path.

New font – Two-Tone Stitch 1

Two Tone stitching fontFinally, a new font in the store. This time, it will allow you to use two colors of threads if you want, or simply showcase the layered effect of the stitches with the bevel and shadow.

Use those stitches in a straight line (like most "text") or along a path, like you would add "text on a path". You can choose any size: it won't be blurred or pixelated since it will be a vector. All the measuring is done for you so that the two layers will perfectly align.

New tubes – Vines 1

Vines picture tubes for PaintShop ProHow about some climbing vines in the background for your next spring or summer project? These picture tubes will partially cover a wall of your choice, with vines. You can change the step to make it bushier if you prefer.

Vine frame in PNG formatFor a sampler, I created a lattice frame where I added two vines. I created a path with the Pen tool, where I wanted the vines to go and ran the VectorTube script to place all the leaves perfectly on the path. I repeated the process with a green vine and the pink one.

New script – Hanging Photos

Hanging Photo script for PaintShop ProYou might have a lot of photos to display and you want them showcased in a different way. How about hanging them all on a line?

This is exactly what the script will do. It will complete all the tedious tasks like calculating the size of each photo based on their numbers, dividing them by the number of lines you want, adding a custom border (if you want), copying, pasting, rotating, moving, and then, attach with a clothespin, and finally, shadow everything. That is a lot of steps done for you!

Hanging Photo template for PaintShop ProAs a sampler (since you likely don't care about MY photos), I converted one page with 15 photos into a layered template. Although you cannot move the photos like you would be able to with the actual script, you can still adjust what photo you want to display on each group.

New script – Paper Bricks

Paper Bricks pattern script for PaintShop ProIf you want to combine a set of papers into a new design, you can create this brick wall pattern. But doing it manually, is absolutely tedious and difficult. Which is a good thing there is a script for that.

With this script, you can use as many papers as you want, whether they are solid, textured or patterned. And since each brick is created from a different area of the papers every time, you will always get a different result, with every run of the script.

For a sampler, I am offering you a greyscale version of the pattern in the preview. There is no background so you can use any color or paper for it. To colorize the bricks, you can either use the Colorize command over the whole image, or over a selection of some bricks or rows. But if you want to be fancier, you can duplicate this layer, lock the transparency and paint over some bricks, and then change the Blend mode.

New script – Photo Circle

Photos in a circle script for PaintShop ProPlacing photos in a perfect circle is an interesting way to display them, but it can be very tedious to take care of resizing each photo to the correct dimension for their number, then spacing them, aligning them and rotating them perfectly to form that circle.

This is what this script will do for you, with very little effort on your part. You can display as many photos as you want, and the script will take care of all the calculations for you.

photos in a circle templateAs a sample, I ran the script with 8 photos and simply replaced the photos with grey squares (you don`t need to have my photos, do you?). Everything is left in unmerged layers so you can change the color of the borders if you want. You can insert your photos inside the mask groups. You can add various papers or elements to decorate the page.
