New script – Tinted Silhouette

by

This tinted silhouette effect is perfect to create striking accents from any photo, whether you want to highlight a single subject or layer several for a more dynamic composition. You can apply a solid tint, use gradients for colorful variations, or repeat the script with multiple colors to build creative overlays.

Choose a version optimized for light or dark backgrounds, or generate both and pick the one that fits your project best. Combine different silhouettes, adjust blend modes, and experiment with endless effects.

New script – Citrus

by

Freshen Up Your Pages with Citrus Elements

Looking for a playful way to bring bright, fresh energy to your titles or embellishments? The Citrus script for PaintShop Pro transforms any shape — raster or vector — into a juicy citrus fruit! Choose from orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit, each with realistic textures and a randomly added stem and leaf for a natural finish. For lemons and limes, the script even adds authentic elongations on the top and bottom for extra detail.

Whether you want to create custom alphas, bold word art, decorative accents, or fun layout elements, this script makes it easy to add a zesty twist to your projects. Bold fonts and shapes give the best results — so get creative and make your pages pop!

New Brushes – Easter Punches

By popular demand, another set of punches has been created, this time with an Easter theme! This collection includes 12 designs, featuring corner punches, edge punches, and individual elements like eggs, chicks, and flowers.

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

New script – Photo Corners

by

Photo corners are probably one of the most traditional ways to fasten a photo to a page. With the digital era, those fasteners were not long NEEDED,  but we can still pretend we use them.

They are fairly easy to make but using a script will speed up the process and allow you to generate several sets (yes, with four corners) very quickly. Use any color palette and the script will combine the colors, the shapes, and the designs for those corners.

Keep the ones you like and discard the others.

For a sampler, I used the color palette from the June bog train on DigitalScrapbook.com. You get 6 sets of corners. They are available in .PspImage format (where the four corners are on separate layers) and in PNG format (where you will have to cut them out separately).

Check out the other resources available in this blog train.

New script – Periodical

by

I have seen someone wear one of those t-shirts where individual tiles spelled out a meaningful word. I was wondering how to create those tiles for any word a user would want. And I did manage to code a script that will use any word you give to generate individual tiles.

The script also allows you to get four different styles with those tiles so they could fit your project.

New script – Quick Tile 3

by

To create patterns from photos is a great way to have matching colors for your papers. In addition, it is a great way to use "bad" photos, those out of focus, with odd colors, etc.

The script will create up to 25 tiles in just a few seconds. Some designs will be great, others, maybe not-so-great, but you can just discard those that don't suit you. And if needed, run the script again to generate more tiles. With the random feature integrated in the script, you will always get different results.

New script – Cork

by

Cork texture script for PaintShop ProYou can now have a corkboard to add any note, memo, paper, or even some lost and found objects. And even better, that board can be any shape you want.

You can start with a simple basic shape like a circle or a star, but you can also use some meaningful shapes like the outline of a country you visited, or the shape of a cruise ship where you spent your last vacation. Or what about a Christmas tree to hang decorations?

New script – Projection

by

Projection lights script for PaintShop ProWhether you have a festive theme or something related to theaters or movies, you can use projection lights to make any text really stand out.

This script will either create the text for you (with your choice of font, color, and text) or use the text element you might have created initially. This would give you the option to use more than one line of text and hand-colored letters.

The end result is on separate layers so you can tweak the projection or the text even more.

Projection lights in png formatAs a sampler, I created some projections from the name of the four seasons in colors that are matching the time of the year. The files are in layers so you can use some or all of the layers and you can tweak them as needed for more creative results.
