New script – Patterns Library

January 12, 2021July 6, 2018 by Cassel

Paintshop Pro script to create a patterns library Yes, you can always check out the images in your Windows Explorer to view all the patterns you have but if you want a printed library, you would need a lot of work to create it. However, this script will create one for you, in just a few seconds. Choosing one pattern, the script will find all the other patterns in the same folder, and display them on a standard 8.5x11 sheet of paper, along with the name of the particular pattern and the name of the folder. This is perfect for you to then print out and keep in a binder.

For a freebie, this week, I created a fun frame made of sand, that you can use on top of your "beachy" photos. If you want more sand, you can always duplicate this image and add an Antique Mosaic effect to it.

This is about 1000 pixels wide in png format so it can be used in any program.

New script – Rubber Stamp

January 12, 2021June 30, 2018 by Cassel

You can easily create an impression of a rubber stamp using a color and a texture, but how about creating the actual rubber stamp, complete with the ink and maybe even the mess too?

This script will convert any black and white image into a rubber stamp for you. You get to choose the color of the rubber and the ink too.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what design you would first create with this script (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a free sample, I created a few elements to celebrate Canada Day (if you don't know yet, I am Canadian). I created those three rubber stamps in addition to a "stamped" version of the design.

Of course, you would have to reverse the designs to be very accurate especially if you want to put the large design printed beside the stamp itself (it would make more sense).

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.

Get these in the store: Summer Punches

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.

Get this script : Custom Game Cards

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 tubes – Burger Toppings

January 12, 2021May 26, 2018 by Cassel

What do you want to garnish your burger? This week, I am presenting you a fun addition to your summer projects, parties and barbecues. Now, you can add as many toppings to your burgers as you want without adding any calories, so dig in!

Whether you want to add some tomatoes, pickles, bacon, lettuce or chopped onions, you will have them all on hand with this set of tubes.

Get them in the store: Burger Toppings

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you like to put on your burger (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).

Since I didn't know what you would like to have on your burger, I could not create a burger for your specific taste, but since I expect you will be using these tubes for some summer activities, you surely will have some photos to showcase, so why not use this template?

This is a .pspimage template and you simply have to add your layer inside of the mask group and it will be automatically "cut out" correctly. Isn't that cool?

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.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you could insert in the knot (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 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 – Ribbon Factory B

January 12, 2021May 11, 2018 by Cassel

Every project can use ribbons and creating custom ribbons with the specific colors of a photo or a kit can be tedious. This script, which is an extension of the Ribbon Factory script, will create such ribbons using two colors of your chosen palette with a variety of patterns and other settings.

You can generate up to 20 ribbons per run of the script, and you can choose between 1 and 6 colors. In the end, save the ribbons you like and discard the others. And then, use those ribbons to create knots, bows, frames, and more.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you use straight ribbons (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, this week, I used the same color palette as I used last time to create those fun spring confetti and generated a dozen of ribbons, 200 pixels thick.

You have various patterns and color combinations to play with. And since they match the confetti, you can combine them in a single project to show off in our FB group!

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!
