Whether you are into steampunk style, or just like to work with various mechanisms that use gears, creating new shapes might be a little tedious.
This script will offer you the options for the number and types of teeth, and the number and types of spokes. But you can also generate something totally random, in just a couple of clicks and every one of them will be slightly different.
Get this script in the store: Cogwheels 2
See how you can run the script and how to attach all those gears together:
In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use gears and cogwheels (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 a sample, I created a frame using various cogwheels generated by the script. I resized them, added a texture using Filter Forge, added a bevel, and shadows. I also had fun adding chains to connect those wheels.
The download includes a pspimage format with a mask group to add your photo, but also a simple png file if you don't have PaintShop Pro to open the pspimage file.

Sometimes, you just want to add a simple frame to your photo in order to show it off. This script will help you do that quickly, while still letting you choose the colors for the frame and the mats.
As a sample for this script, I created a set of four frames based on seasonal photos so you get a frame for each of the four seasons. Each frame allows a photo of about 7 inches on the longest side. They are all in PNG format, so they are useful in various graphic programs.
You can place elements along a circle or a spiral manually, but it is quite tedious.
For a sampler, I created two large circle frames and one spiral with bats coming at you. Each element is in png format and about 3000 pixels wide, so you can resize them as needed.
In order to create a paper fringe with PaintShop Pro, you will need to cut your element multiple times, and then, warp each piece one by one. But there is a problem: how do you warp one piece of paper without warping the next one? Well, there is a way to do it, but it is tedious, which is why this script will be a time saver.
As a sample, I created this square frame from four strips of paper that were run through the script, one by one, and then put together to make the frame. I added a little contrasting border to add some interest. Now, you can showcase your favorite photo.
To create a nautical project, using netting is a common element. Recently, we had some netting picture tubes that you could use to embellish your project. This time around, the netting is variegated, giving the whole project a different look.
As a sampler, I created a wood frame (using a script) and added three layers of netting. I distorted them irregularly, and deleted what was extending outside of the frame. I then added some seashells from the 2019 picture tubes.
You can now create your own frame to showcase your favorite photo. No more hoping to find a ready-made frame that has a word suitable for you. You can choose any text you want, and even a specific location or date that is personalized to tell your story.
As a sampler, I created three frames starting from a 1400x1400 pixels blank image. I added the text on top and created an empty section on the bottom. I simply filled that section with various designs to match the top part. Each frame is black, but you can colorize them however you need to fit your project.
If you ever braided ribbons in the past, you know that they could make for a nice long element that can then be used in various shapes. This is the same that you can do with PaintShop Pro and this set of picture tubes.
As a sampler, I just made a basic oval shape and using the VectorTube script, added some green braided ribbon. I added a ribbon bow (which is from Digitalscrapbook.com) and colorized it to match the ribbons (it was light blue initially).
Finally, a new font in the store. This time, it will allow you to use two colors of threads if you want, or simply showcase the layered effect of the stitches with the bevel and shadow.
For a sampler, I created this square frame using a couple of those stitches in light and dark blue. The frame is about 2000x2000 pixels and in PNG format.
How about some climbing vines in the background for your next spring or summer project? These picture tubes will partially cover a wall of your choice, with vines. You can change the step to make it bushier if you prefer.
For a sampler, I created a lattice frame where I added two vines. I created a path with the Pen tool, where I wanted the vines to go and ran the VectorTube script to place all the leaves perfectly on the path. I repeated the process with a green vine and the pink one.
September is often the time for back to school, whether we have young kids, older teenagers, or grandkids in that age group. Or maybe it can also be a grown-up going back to school!
For a sample, I created a simple frame that is 3600x3600 pixels. You can use it full-size to frame a whole page or you can size it down to fit a smaller photo. I am also including a frame made of wood that is slightly smaller.
