New script – Alpha-Tags 3

by

You can create a whole alphabet from any paper you have. You can choose any basic paper and the script will randomly select a different area of the paper so each tag will be different, even though they will all match.

You can choose any font, any characters, and any color. This is perfect if you want to create tags for different languages with accented characters. Each layer will be left unmerged so you can adjust any of them further.

New script – Keyboard alpha

by

You can now create your own alpha from keyboard keys. You can have thick keys or thin ones, depending on your preferences.

The script will create as many keys as you need to write a word, a phrase, or a whole alphabet. Choose the colors, the font, the placement on the key, and let the script work while you watch or go for a coffee.

For a sampler, I created a simple thick green set of keys with white characters on the bottom left (a little unconventional). The alpha includes all the letters, the digits and a hyphen to let you type in dates and more.

New script – Gradient Dimension

by

You might be familiar with the Dimension script where one could add an even thickness, in whatever color you wanted. This time around, the thickness would follow a gradient, whether it is already made, or based on two or three colors you will choose.

The script will create up to 100 layers following the chosen gradient, to give a unique effect to any shape.

You can start with a vector or a raster layer. It will work well either way.

New script – Stacked Wooden Alpha

by

You can surely create stacks of wooden characters, but it is quite tedious. You have to duplicate each character, and then rotate and move them one by one, then add some thickness AND if you want to add the proper inside shadows, you have to do that on each individual layer.

But the script will do that in just a few seconds. Furthermore, it will change the angle of the wood texture for each layer, making your stacks even more random.

Once done, all the layers will be merged so that the inside shadows are not disturbed.

For a sampler, I created a set of 10 digits, using cherry wood. Each digit is about 500 pixels high in png format.

New script – Cracked Paint 2

by

If you like the grungy style, this script will help you. It can turn any design, drawing, photo, or any flat element into a wooden item with cracked paint all over.

Every run of the script will yield a different result because the cracks will be in different shapes, and various random areas will be unaffected.

The end result will be left unmerged so you can apply additional effects if you want, or change the color of the wood base.

As a sample, I created a simple alphabet with Halloween colors and ran the script on each of those elements. You get a full alphabet of uppercase, and ten digits to match.

New script – Inked Edge 2

by

This script will quickly add an inked edge around any element, photo, or shape for you. It will look like a wet/watercolor ink that was added in three runs. The edges will be uneven all over and slightly more opaque on the very edges.

The inked border will be left unmerged from the base shape so you can actually use it separately if you want for a different effect.

New script – Cookies 2

by

Cookies script for PaintShop ProOur first script to create cookies was quite popular, so I decided to bake another batch.

This script will create cookies in any shape, whether they are hand-drawn, preset shapes, or letters/numbers. You get five types of cookies: oatmeal, graham wafer, peanut butter, molasses, and jam cookie. And some of those also have additional options, like four types of fillings for the jam cookies and some possible chocolate on top of the oatmeal and graham wafer.

This will be perfect for any birthday party, kitchen or baking theme.

Graham wafers alphabetWhile working on those cookies, I had a craving for some sweets! I created a whole alphabet (A to Z) using graham wafers half dipped in chocolate. I think they look delicious, don't you think? Of course, if you want, you can add some sprinkles too!

New Picture Tubes – Decorative Icing
