New script – Vector Label

January 12, 2021August 24, 2018 by Cassel

Vector label scripts for Paintshop Pro If you want to create your own labels, it might not be too difficult, but how about creating it faster than if you did them manually?

This script will create 3 labels with different edges (straight, scallops and pinking) with your starting vector shape. You choose the colors, gradients or patterns and the script will do the rest.

Even when the script is done, you are still in control as each element is left on separate layers so you can use them all or only a few. That is your choice!

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 set of labels based on a simple diamond shape. The paper is a light yellow and the accents are made of gold patterns.

Each label in the set is created using some or all of the elements from the resulting files after running the script.

New script – Scribbles

January 12, 2021August 16, 2018 by Cassel

Whether it is for a kid project, a school-related project or just for the fun of it, you can now create scribbled drawings out of any shape or letter, whether you drew it with a brush, a preset shape or the text tool.

There are many options you can choose from to make this element unique and customized to your vision of the final project. With the single script, you can create many different effects, and why not add several layers of scribbles?

You can create text, numbers, regular shapes, or irregular ones.

As school is either starting or going to start soon, I created a full alphabet using this script. I picked four basic colors for a really bright effect. Remember that if you want those to be considered scribbles, you should not add shadows. However, if you want to pretend the lines are strings or wires, then you can add some. Don't go crazy with the shadows though; you don't want your element to feel like they are floating.

New script – Datestamp #6

January 12, 2021August 9, 2018 by Cassel

Whether you want to add a date, a mention of an event or a location as if you were traveling around the world, this triangular datestamp will allow you to add a personal touch to your project.

You can choose any text, any color, any texture, and font so you won't have to rely on anyone's template.

New script – Patchwork

January 12, 2021July 14, 2018 by Cassel

Creating a patchwork pattern might be fairly easy with selections, one after the other but some designs would be very tedious to create in a seamless pattern especially if it is not a design that fits inside a square or rectangle. However, with the calculations available in a script, you can actually create that seamless pattern from any design.

Each of the 5 designs will end up being seamless and you can then use the tile as a pattern to floodfill a larger image. Change the scale or the angle for interesting and varied effect. You can use wood textures, but also metal, stone, paper, fabric, etc.

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 thought you might like to have some of the tiles used in the preview. They were done using various wood texture images. One tile is 1000x1000 and the other is 1200x1200 pixels. Since they are both seamless, you can use them on a larger image. You can also rotate the pattern at 45 degrees for an interesting effect.

New tubes – Iron Fences

January 12, 2021June 22, 2018 by Cassel

Those iron fences might be fun to use, but they are probably always the wrong length for your project. This set of tubes allows you to draw them as long as you want and at any angle (like on hills or down stairs).

Use them to add decorative elements around it, behind it or in front.

Since it is graduation time now, for many parts of the world (it is the last day of school here), why not add a great message for anyone reaching graduation?

This is a full-width fence embellished with a twisted string tube, and banners made from an alphabet available also in the store. It is in png format so you can place it on any scenery.

New brushes – Summer Punches

January 12, 2021June 15, 2018 by Cassel

By popular demand, another set of punches have been made and this time, on the summer theme. You get 12 designs, with corner punches and edge punches. In addition, the individual shapes are also available.

Since they are brushes, you can use them as punches with the Eraser tool, but also as regular brushes with the Brush tool.

New script – Dimension 2

January 12, 2021June 8, 2018 by Cassel

You might want to create some kind of extrusion around the edges of your element and play with various thickness, height, and colors. Add those edges around shapes or text for a very unique effect.

Unlike the previous Dimension script, this one will create a "deep" shape or a "thick" one. That is your choice.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would create with those edges (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 play around, I used some text to run the script on. I used gold, silver and bronze patterns for the edge and the inside and outside colors to give the metallic effect of the edges.

To get a better result, I worked on a large text to start since a small shape or text would give a pretty grainy result.

New script – Custom Game Cards

January 12, 2021June 2, 2018 by Cassel

Aside from the typical deck of cards we use to play poker, bridge, or others, do you ever play games that involve a different kind of cards, like Magics, ?

Have you ever imagined having your own photo on one of those cards? Now you can do just that. With this script, you can use any photo, and add the text you want to create a unique card that you can print if you want, or just use on a different graphics project.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what type of games have you played that involved cards that are different than the typical deck with diamonds, hearts, spades and club (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).

This week, I created a simple set of four cards for you. They are in .pspimage format which includes the mask to insert your photo without having to cut it or adjust it in any way. Simply put your photo above the layer named "Photo here", and adjust the placement using the Pick tool (or the Raster Deform tool if you are using an older version of PSP).

You can then add the text you want in the label below the photo, and you have some fun cards that you can either print or use in a scrapbook project.

New script – Knot #13

January 12, 2021May 18, 2018 by Cassel

Everyone likes ribbons, bows and knots. They can be very versatile, especially if they match. Finding the correct match is not always easy, but with this script, you can use any straight ribbon and get a simple knot to add to your project.

You can pretend to attach that knot to the straight ribbon to tie around a photo, a present, or just as an accent. You can insert something in the center part of the knot, like a ring or a flower stem.

To show you what those knots look like, close up, I used three ribbons from a kit, It's Elementary my Dear that you could get at Pixel Scrapper. So you can download these knots and also go for the ribbons too.

New script – Adjustment Layers Group

January 12, 2021May 5, 2018 by Cassel

Adjustment layers are applied to all the layers below them, in the Layers Palette. But what if you want to adjust only one element, on one single layer? You can still do it, if you add that layer into a group that will include that specific layer you want to modify. It takes a few clicks, but with these scripts, a group will automatically be created and the adjustment layer will be inserted. Just fewer clicks than doing it manually.

This is actually a set of 13 scripts; one for each adjustment layer available. And if you are using an older version of PSP that does not have all 13, the script will let you know that your version is not compatible with that particular adjustment layer.

Get this set in the store: Adjustment Layers Group

Oh, and it is FREE too!

As a sampler for this week, obviously, I can't give you anything done with that script, since it is a tool, but since the Plush Texture script was quite popular, I decided to create a fun plush teddy bear.

I started with a bear made of vector layers and I added a plush texture to each of them, then adjusted the colors to give a bit more contrast in some areas.

The whole bear is almost 3600 pixels high so you have plenty of room to resize it to fit your project.

Remember that you can create the same kind of plush element with the Plush Texture script. It is worth the work!
