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

New script – Diamond Painting

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.

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

Streaking colors script for PaintShop ProWith 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.

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!)

Stitched ribbons in png formatFor 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

Datestamp script for PaintShop ProDatestamps 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.

Datestamps for the months in PNG formatFor 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

Newspaper alphabet script for PaintShop ProNewspapers 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.

New script – Circles and Spirals

Circles and spirals script for PaintShop ProYou 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.

Halloween circle frames and spiralFor 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

Paper Fringe script for PaintShop ProIn 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.

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!)

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.

New Script – Paper Strips

Paper Strips script for PaintShop ProSometimes, it can look interesting to have a series of paper strips of different colors or patterns to serve as a background for a project. However, that can be tedious and time-consuming.

This script will just do that for you in a very short time, using your papers, and your options, sprinkled with some randomness too. Every run of the script will yield a different result, even if you were to use the same papers and the same options.

Paper Strips template for PaintShop ProAs a sample, I chose to create a series of strips, aligned to the bottom, and turned them into a template so you can use it with your favorite papers. These strips are grouped so you can copy and paste them onto your project in one step (instead of copying them one by one!).

New script – Doppler

Doppler effect script for PaintShop ProThe Doppler effect is that difference in sound you hear when a vehicle runs in your direction, and then away from you. It is a sort of echo of the soundwave.

This script will create that "wave" on top or on the bottom of any text you provide. You can use a solid color, a gradient or even a pattern. In the end, the main text and the "echo" will be on separate layers so you can apply different effects to it, separately.

Doppler effect on individual digitsAs a sample, I ran the script on individual digits starting with a black text. This will allow you to colorize the elements to match your project. To maintain the transparency on these digits while adding color, lock the transparency of the layer, fill with the material you want, and unlock the transparency.

New script – Ice Cream

Ice cream treat script for PaintShop ProWhat is more refreshing than a delicious ice cream treat during those hot summer months?

This script will convert any shape into a calorie-free ice cream treat. You can choose any flavor (even if they don't exist). You can add ripples in a different flavor. Then, you choose what coating you want, what texture it will be. You can even have it melting a bit if it is really hot. Then, if you want to be fancier, you can add sprinkles or crushed nuts on top. Hum...
