New script – Periodical

March 1, 2024 by Cassel

I have seen someone wear one of those t-shirts where individual tiles spelled out a meaningful word. I was wondering how to create those tiles for any word a user would want. And I did manage to code a script that will use any word you give to generate individual tiles.

The script also allows you to get four different styles with those tiles so they could fit your project.

New script – Triangles 4

October 27, 2023 by Cassel

This script will let you create a variety of different triangle-patterned papers in any size you want.

Using one of three ways to select the colors, you can end up with a monochrome design, a paper with two colors, or a design made of individual triangles based on a color palette of your choice.

The script will use any active image and will create a separate layer so you can even run the script on a work-in-progress.

New tubes – Wool 2

May 18, 2023 by Cassel

Although you might sometimes want to have some neat and soft wool strands, other times, you might want something shaggier, and more irregular. This is what you need.

This set of 12 picture tubes, in 12 different colors, allows you to add shaggy edges anywhere you want, in any length and shape you need.

Draw freehand or along a set edge using the VectorTube script.

New script – Diamond Painting

April 28, 2023 by Cassel

Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.

The script will convert any image (or design) into a diamond painting. Of course, you won't have the physical texture to play with but it will only take you a few seconds to complete.

The zip file also includes picture tubes for the individual "drills" in case you want to add some in other locations.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever done diamond painting (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

For a freebie, I used some cute animal cliparts and converted them into diamond paintings. Each one is fairly large so you can size them down as needed.

New script – Streaks

April 7, 2023 by Cassel

With graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.

You can apply this effect to any photo, in any of the four basic directions, and you can also have the ends of the streaks reach the edge of the image or not, for different effects.

Get this in the store: Streaks

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what photo would be suitable for this streaking effect (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, of course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.

New script – Datestamps #12

February 3, 2023 by Cassel

Datestamps can be used for much more than just dates. It is a way to add a name, a location, an event, or even a common phrase that can be associated with a photo or a story.

There are different Datestamps in the store and this one is the 12th in the series.

This script allows you to choose the text and color of your choice, but you also get the choice for the top and the middle font, which can be identical or different. In addition, the zip file comes with five brushes to add some designs in the center of the datestamp. You can also keep it empty and add something else, later.

Get this script in the store: Datestamp #12

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how often you use datestamps in your projects (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 set of 12 datestamps with the months of the year. I have three years listed on top so you can always circle the one that matches your project. I purposefully left the space empty at the very bottom so you can add a date if you want. Everything is in greyscale so you can colorize it, and it is in png format.

New script – Newspaper Alpha

January 26, 2023 by Cassel

Newspapers can be a fun medium to print letters on, and create a random effect. This might be easy but it is quite tedious to have something very irregular. That is why this script will be a time-saver.

The script will let you choose several fonts that will be used at random (you can also choose only one font if you want). Then, you can also select up to 6 colors that will also be selected at random. Finally, you can ask the script to respect the cases or mix up the uppercase and lowercase for the characters you chose.

And you can even choose to have tinted paper if you want to match a color palette.

Get it in the store: Newspaper Alpha

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever created random newspaper characters for titles (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 sample, I created a basic red alphabet (in lowercase) on black and white newspapers.

New script – Circles and Spirals

September 30, 2022 by Cassel

You can place elements along a circle or a spiral manually, but it is quite tedious.

This script will take care of all the calculations for you and create that perfect circle or spiral with any starting element. Use beads, pearls, flowers, greenery, hearts, stars, flower petals, etc.

Use the circles for frames, and the spirals for accents.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would place along a spiral shape (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 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.

New script – Paper Fringe

September 23, 2022 by Cassel

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.

With various options in the orientation, length, width, and regularity of the slits, there is also randomness integrated into the script to allow for a different result every time you run it, even if using the same settings and the same starting image.

Get it in the store: Paper Fringe

And see what you can do when you repeat the script using multiple strips of colored papers.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever created paper fringes with paper and scissors (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 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.
