New brushes – Punches C

by

Punches can add character to any tag, frame, or paper. After the first two sets, this will add 10 more designs you can use to cut out some designs in the middle or the edges of any element.

Use the default settings to create the cutout as long as you want by using the Shift key.

You can also use them as simple brushes to imprint like "typical brushes" do.

New script – Polkadots

by

You can easily create some simple polkadot patterns with PaintShop Pro, but as soon as the pattern is not as simple, it can become a headache to create.

This script will let you choose up to 12 colors that will be used in the same order to create either a seamless tile or a full-size paper (the size of your choice). And the arrangement can be either of straight lines (with offset rows) or zigzags.

New script – Jigsaw Puzzle 2

by

Turning a photo into a completed puzzle might be simple when you use an overlay, but if you want to separate some pieces from the main puzzle, that is much more challenging.

This script will turn any rectangular image (vertical or horizontal), into a 9x5 puzzle with triangular pieces. That is a less common shape for puzzle pieces, isn't it? Then, you can identify some pieces that you will want cut off from the main puzzle. You can then move them, rotate them, or delete them completely.

This script is related to your own photos so I can't give you a sample of my photos! Being around back-to-school time, you could use this painted cardboard alpha using primary colors. Each character is about 500 pixels in height so you can resize them as needed for your project.

New script – Knot #16

by

Double knots are hard to find because unless they are part of a kit, the colors and patterns are not likely to match the supplies you are using or the project you are making. However, with this script, you can use any ribbon you want so you can use the straight ribbons from the same kit. In addition, you can tweak and colorize the separate ribbons and the script will combine them, creating a unique knot.

Each run of the script will yield a slightly different result since the ends will be cut randomly.

For a sampler, I created four knots in pastel colors for you. They are all in png format (not layered) so they can be used in various programs.

New script – Random Brush Print

by

Now, with this script, you can create your own papers using the brush you want, with the colors you need. And all that will only take a second for you to get either a full-size paper or a seamless tile to use for other projects.

You can select a single color, a mix of two colors, or some individual colors from a specific color palette. Every run will yield a slightly different result so have fun with it.

New script – Sweets

by

If you have a project where you want to feature some sweets, you should also use a title made of caramel, chocolate, honey, or various glazes. How can you find the perfect texture with the word you want? It might be hard to find that ideal element. But why not create it yourself? Choose the color you want, the font you need, and the text that will enhance your project.

You can also draw some shapes with the Pen tool or the Brush tool for some custom designs.

For a sample, I created all the digits out of caramel, using the Segoe font. It is a nice monoline font so it will look like I wrote those digits with a piping bag.

New picture tubes – Wood Fence 2

by

This is the second set of wood fence picture tubes. It includes 6 sets of tubes that will allow you to draw fences however long you want. You can start with a 4000-pixel image if you want a fence that will go from end to end on your standard page, but you can also use a standard page and drag your cursor only for a little bit to get a shorter fence.

These picture tubes will place the individual images randomly which means that every fence will be slightly different.

New script – Slipped In Corners 2

by

Here is another script to hold your photos onto paper. Although this is similar to the first slipped in corners script, this one offers a cutout design for each corner instead of a simple slit.

You get three options for the cutouts and the end result will be a series of layers all linked together so you can actually move your photo anywhere on the project. If you group those layers, you can even copy and paste the whole group on a separate layout.

For a sample of this script, I created a template for a 5x7 photo. You can move the photo anywhere on the canvas (make sure you don't rotate it). You can convert the template into a mask if you want.

New script – Custom Envelope

by

If you like to create your own custom greeting cards, you might be limited by the size of the available envelopes you have. But now, with this script, you can choose any size up to 10x8 inches. It could be a long and thin envelope, or a large square one.

The script will create the individual pieces in a template format, and will split them in two or three pages that you can print on your own home printer. You can customize each piece as you want with different colors, patterns, gradients, or decorations. You can use the same design for each piece or combine more than one.

New script – Strawberry

by

You can have fun this summer with titles and shapes. You can use the Watermelon but now you can turn your shape into a fresh strawberry, complete with a stem.

You can write titles, or add details in various shapes (hearts, stars, teardrop, etc.).

Even if you start with the exact same shape, you will always get a slightly different result.
