New script – Shaped Text

November 5, 2021 by Cassel

Shaping text can be a tedious task using the current tools of PaintShop Pro because most of the time, you have to use the Warp Mesh tool and this means a lot of nodes to tweak to get a single shape.

This script includes options for 30 different "envelopes" to shape your text. This will be perfect for titles or wordart.

New script – Diamond Slats

October 30, 2021October 29, 2021 by Cassel

Diamond shapes will convey an impression of dynamism so using diamond-shaped slats to showcase your photos will give them a new angle.

With this script, you can focus the main diamond wherever you want on your photo and then, with various options, it will add slats on the left or the right or both sides. And with the choice of colors for the outline, you will have a custom result. And even more, you can tweak the unmerged layers for more special effects.

New script – Color Paint

October 22, 2021 by Cassel

You can now feel like an artist and turn any photo into a colorful painted silhouette.

You can make it as detailed as you want. You can use the color you want to match your mood or your project. And with the random feature integrated, you will never get the same result twice, even with the same options.

This is a perfect way to use those photos that have odd colors.

For a sampler, I was inspired by the painted effect and I decided to apply it to some text, a little like a graffiti artist. I picked a few words that could be used in various projects and applied the effect using 4 basic colors. There is also a spelling variation for Colorful/Colourful so everyone should be able to use it.

New picture tubes – Tatting Lace 1

October 15, 2021 by Cassel

With very little effort, you can now add some delicate tatting lace along the edge of your frames, mats, etc. You can use any one of the eight picture tubes and hand draw the lace in a free-flowing style, but you can also add it to any vector path for a very regular design.

The picture tubes are quite large so you can adjust the scale down if you want something smaller for your particular project.

You can also colorize the resulting lace, either with the Colorize command in PSP, or by "painting" a layer above it, using the locked transparency. This will allow you to have multiple colors on your lace.
