New script – Acrylic buttons

September 10, 2021 by Cassel

Acrylic button script for PaintShop Pro Sometimes, you want some simple buttons to add to your projects. You want a specific color, and don't want to spend too long finding that perfect color in your stash.

This script will create up to 20 buttons in one run based on a color you will choose. The shape will be randomly drawn, so you will have a variety of different buttons. The opacity of the acrylic is also randomly selected. Of course, you can also lower the opacity of the button if you want it more translucent.

New Brushes – School Punches

September 3, 2021 by Cassel

September is often the time for back to school, whether we have young kids, older teenagers, or grandkids in that age group. Or maybe it can also be a grown-up going back to school!

These punches are perfect with the Eraser tool, and you can also use them as brushes, to add some details in a contrasting color.

You get 12 designs for corners, and 12 matching edges. In addition, you get individual elements in brush format so you can use them on their own.

New script – Cheese

August 27, 2021 by Cassel

Whether you are a food lover or a cook, or have had a food-related experience you want to share, this script will be a fun tool for you.

You will be able to convert any shape (whether it is a letter, a digit, a symbol or any other shape) into a fun looking cheese, full of holes. The color of the cheese and the holes are all selected at random. Every run of the script will yield a different piece of cheese even if you start with the same shape.

New script – Beads Maker 2

August 20, 2021 by Cassel

Creating delicate beads in the color scheme that you want can be challenging.

This script allows you to choose up to 6 colors in your palette and it will combine them two by two, in a gradient, along with a random texture. Then, the designs on them will be picked, at random (among 3 possible designs) and tweaked to make each bead different.

I used the same color palette as for the sample of this freebie and ran the script. This means that those beads will coordinate perfectly with the other 15, and you can use them together.

New script – Scallop Pattern 4

August 12, 2021 by Cassel

Scallop patterns might be tedious to create from scratch and using templates will not offer as much flexibility as you might need.

This script will create scallops with 4 colours that you pick, in the size you want, the color combinaison you want and even the stroke thickness and color you select.

New script – Cutout Edges

August 5, 2021August 5, 2021 by Cassel

In paper scrapbooking, we often see some fancy outlines, likely made using a cutting machine. The designs can be simple or intricates and with contrasting backing, it gives a great look.

Now, you can do the same thing with PSP and your digital project using this script. You can choose the thickness or the color (or both) of the outline and it will be based on any element on the active layer, whether it is a raster or a vector. Furthermore, the base and the outline will be on separate layers leaving you more options to tweak them. And even better, some shadows will be added, also on a separate layer. Everything will be linked but unmerged so you can move things around or change them as needed.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling whether you ever tried to replicate this paper cutout effect with PSP (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 am including some summer-themed elements all in layers. You can change the colors of the cutout or the background if you want to match them to your own project.

New script – Tangled

July 30, 2021 by Cassel

A nice and even design might be what you are looking for, but maybe you need something messier for some projects, or to accompany some "messy" subjects.

This script will turn any vector outline into a mess of tangled threads, that could be all of the same color or different colors to match your palette, or your photo. You will end up with unmerged layers so you can always tweak everything as needed.

As a sampler, I envisioned children playing with threads and gluing them around the various letters of the alphabet. I guess it would be a good element to use for back-to-school layouts. You get this full alphabet using primary colors.

New script – Photo Gallery

July 23, 2021 by Cassel

Have you ever tried to align several photos on a straight line, with each photo evenly spaced? It is a little tedious. Now, imagine that you have multiple rows to create. That definitely adds to the work.

This script will line up all the photos you want, into neat rows with every photo of the same size. No more manual work. Just answer the questions and follow the prompts and you will have a nice gallery to display your photos.

New script – Pencil Sketch

July 18, 2021July 16, 2021 by Cassel

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.
