New script – Nested Frames

May 14, 2021 by Cassel

Nested Frames script for PaintShop Pro In order to create evenly spaced nested frames, you will need a lot of calculations. And if the focus area is not in the very center of your image, it means calculating the spacing separately for four sides. That can be a real challenge.

This script will take care of everything for you, while you only have to select the number of frames, their thickness and colors. The rest is handled by the script.

At the end, the frames will be left on their own layer so you can add more effects to them (bevel, shadows, texture, etc.) or use those frames to select parts of the photo and give it more variations (saturation, lightness, colors, etc.)

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you ever used nested frames in the past (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 this week's sample, I created a set of nested frames to fit a 7x5 inch image. Since the frames are white and have no bevel or shadows, you can flip them, mirror them or rotate them to fit your photo. Add whatever effect you want to the frames or use them to apply effects to the photo.

Noticed that I had a little play on the preview: Although it might look like I cut the frames, I actually made some selection from the photo, promoted those selections to their own layer, and move that layer on top of the frames. This allows me to move the frames if needed, as they are still intact.

New script – Bingo Balls

May 7, 2021 by Cassel

Have fun with words and dates by writing them using bingo balls.

New script – Beads Maker

New script – Starburst Template Maker

April 16, 2021 by Cassel

You can display your photos in regular square or rectangular shapes, but you can also use a starburst shape to make it a little different.

Creating your own template is always a bit time-consuming so this script will help you work faster. You choose how many photo spots you want to have, and the script will create a template exactly for that number. And furthermore, each photo spot will be turned into a mask group so you simply have to drop your photo on the correct layer and adjust the placement of the photo. No cutting involved.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling if you have ever used a starburst shape to display your photos (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).

As a sampler, I created a template, just for you, with spots for 8 photos. Replace any of those photo spots by images but you can also replace them by patterned paper. Or you can play around with it as a template is just a starting point anyways.

New script – Foliage

April 9, 2021 by Cassel

It can be fun to turn various shapes into foliage or flowery bushes. This can be particularly suitable for garden-themed projects, whether it is a scrapbook page, a poster, or a card to someone with a green thumb.

This script will offer you five options for that vegetation texture: one is just foliage while the other four include flowery bushes.

This week, as a sample, I am offering you a full alphabet using the Hesperis flowers. Each character is about 700 pixels in height so you have plenty of room to resize them to suit your project.

New script – Ribbon Factory C

April 2, 2021 by Cassel

It is always fun to have a variety of ribbons to accompany our project but using ready-made ones, might not always match. Adjusting the color is possible but it is tedious. And if you are talking about multicolored ribbons, then it is a full-blown headache.

This script is the third in the Ribbon Factory series. It will create multicolored ribbons using at least 3 colors from your palette and will generate some of the 6 different patterns. Create up to 20 ribbons in one single run of the script. Keep the ones you like, discard the others.

For a sample, I am sharing 14 of the ribbons generated using the color palette in the preview. They are nice spring-like colors, so you now will have access to another set of matching ribbons.

New script – Dispersion

March 26, 2021 by Cassel

A dispersion effect can be added to any photo to give a unique impression of power or explosion.

This script will allow you to choose what section of the image will be dispersed and in what direction. Furthermore, you can also continue running the script so you can get a dispersion effect in two opposite directions if you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what type of photo you would apply a dispersion effect to (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) We will announce the winner 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).

Since this script would likely be applied to your own photo, I simply ran it on greyscale digits. Since they are in greyscale, you can colorize them any way you want to use it in your own project.

New script – Squares and Angles

March 19, 2021 by Cassel

If you want to create new patterned papers, you can draw them yourself or use a readymade template. However, while using this script, you can create many more seamless tiles, using a single color palette of your choice. This will speed up the process.

You can create up to 20 tiles in a single run. The colors will be randomly assigned to each segment of the tile. Save the tiles that you like and discard the others.

New script – Wet Paint

March 12, 2021 by Cassel

You can create wet paint drips manually, but it is quite tedious to do. In addition, how can you ensure that your drips will be perfectly straight?

This script will use all the area of your image (or parts of it, if you choose so), and will add some random drips, in random locations, in random thickness. You even get a little thickness added to the drop at the bottom!

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us you have ever added wet paint drips to a project (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

New script – Cork

March 5, 2021 by Cassel

You 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?
