New script – Slats

May 19, 2019May 18, 2019 by Cassel

Slats script for PaintShop Pro Using slats on a photo is a unique way to showcase it, but it can be tedious to create manually. Furthermore, if you want to showcase a particular area of the photo without cutting it off, you can no longer use a ready-made template as it might not suit your specific image or size or preference.

This script will create slats but you will start by setting the "untouched" area and the slats will be added left/right or up/down that main selection. And you get more options for the creation of those slats. Finally, the script will also add a set of frames that you can keep or not, or customize with a different color, with additional effects, etc.

Get this in the store: Slats.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have ever used slats before (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 this template for you. It will help you showcase an element that would be off center. You can mirror it too, if your element is on the right.

You can change the color of the frame, add a bevel or other textures. You can add shadowing if needed.

For the background, you can simply use a solid color from your image or a pattern that matches. Or you can duplicate your photo and move that duplicate to the "background" layer and play with the opacity, the color, etc. for another unique display.

New tubes – Crochet Lace Tubes 4

May 18, 2019May 4, 2019 by Cassel

These crochet lace tubes will allow you to create edges of any length you want, and even add some wave to it (not too much as it would distort the design). Once you have your straight (or almost straight) lace, you can turn it into a frame, or just add it to a cluster along with other decorative elements.

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 two frames using two of the tubes included in the set. One frame is square, about 2000x2000 pixels and the other is rectangular, at 2000x1600 pixels. They are in PNG format, and you don't have to import them anywhere into your PaintShop Pro; just open it on your workspace and add it on your project. Easy!?

New Script – Gradient Creator

May 19, 2019April 26, 2019 by Cassel

Creating a gradient might be simple but creating a specific one to replicate an effect you see on an image might be tricky.

This script will start with an open image that is either of an existing gradient or a natural gradient that you can replicate by indicating the various colors you want through a single line.

Get this in the store: Gradient Creator

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what if you ever created your own gradient in PaintShop Pro (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 two gradients from photos of sunsets. They look different with different color schemes but can both create a nice background for your next project.

New script – Decorated Eggs 2

April 17, 2021April 19, 2019 by Cassel

With Easter coming, you might want to create some holiday invitations or maybe you will want to embellish the photos you will take with the kids running around, looking for eggs.

Creating and decorating eggs, even digitally, can be tedious (at least it is not messy), but with this script, it will take only a few seconds. You can choose various options, whether you want monochrome eggs or rainbow colors. And with the random function integrated into the script, you will have different eggs every time.

Use solid colors or even gradients or patterns for unique results.

This is a second script to create decorated eggs and the designs are different than for the first script.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what if you ever decorate eggs, and if so, how did you do it (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).

To help you out, I created a dozen eggs that you can use to build some clusters or to line them up at the bottom of your next frame. Using bold colors, those eggs should go well with just about any Easter projects.

New script – Bread #2

March 30, 2019 by Cassel

Summer is coming and the thought of fresh sandwiches is on everyone's mind. Although you can have a family barbecue (and use the Hamburger script), you can create slices of bread in various shapes with this script. You can choose between 4 types of bread: white, whole wheat, rye and multigrain. So there is something for everyone in the family.

In addition, you can choose to have a thick or thin slice, since everyone's preference is different.

Do you want a chance to win this script? Then, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what kind of sandwich you would do with this script (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 set of slices in the shape of digits. You can use them to add a title, possibly for the photos of your annual family picnic. Each digit is in png format and quite large so you can easily size them down as needed.

New script – Extrusion

December 30, 2020March 22, 2019 by Cassel

You can add dimension and perspective to any design, element, shape or text.

You choose how thick you want the extrusion and in what direction.

The top layer and the side layers are left unmerged so you can have the opportunity to tweak them separately if you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you ever tried to make a photo-mosaic (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).

This week, I created a couple of words that might be used to embellish your project. They are big enough to be sized down if needed.

New script – Photo-Mosaic 2

December 30, 2020March 15, 2019 by Cassel

With this script, you can take dozens or hundreds of photos and create a single image mosaic. You choose the "target" image to become a mosaic, and the folder where all the images are saved and the script will take all those images and create that mosaic. You can choose as many images as you want.

In the end, the layers are left unmerged so you can adjust the blend mode, or the opacity if needed to get the images to show up best.

Get it in the store: Photo-Mosaic 2

Since it is just a couple of days to St-Patrick's Day, I created a fun wooden puzzle with some St-Pat elements. The puzzle is left in unmerged layers so you can use the pieces separately if you want, and they are also grouped so you can copy and paste the whole puzzle onto another project of yours.

New script – Dirt Texture

December 30, 2020March 8, 2019 by Cassel

We might sometimes, want to showcase some photos of messy kids (ours or even ourselves). What better way than have a "dirty" element, complete with a splash of mud on the side?

This script will turn any shape into a splash of dirt or mud and you will even get a different look every time so you can run the script on the same shape multiple times to get a variety of results.

Get it in the store: Dirt Texture

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what photo you feel would be great to embellish with an element with this texture (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 sampler, I created a basic square frame and ran the script. You now have the perfect frame to showcase those "muddy" photos.

New tubes – Variegated Strings

December 30, 2020March 1, 2019 by Cassel

It might be fairly easy to find single color tubes to create a string. In fact, there is one that comes (or came) by default with PaintShop Pro. Strings with two colors can also be found (in the store) but they are much less common. But for variegated strings or ropes, this one is a first as far as I know.

As you draw with these tubes, the colors will change as if you were using traditional variegated wool to knit a project.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you already have a string tube (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 a rainbow element that you can use with your projects and a frame using several colors of those variegated tubes. Each element is in PNG format.

New script – Framed Mask

January 11, 2021February 23, 2019 by Cassel

I have seen various masks made from apparent chaos of random frames while allowing the display of a single photo through all those frames. I knew how to create those manually, but figured it would be simpler for PSP users to have a tool to do all the work for them.

This script will allow you to either start with a "blank" project where all the frames will cover the center area of a full-size 3600x3600 image or use an existing photo, sized and placed in a specific location of the project and have the script create the frames over that photo. The options are numerous as you can create between 1 and 36 frames to cover that area. In the end, you get a layered template with a Mask group where you can just put your photo. No measuring, no drawing.

Get this script in the store: Framed Mask

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever used or created a similar type of mask for your project (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 am giving you the same template created in the preview. It has unmerged layers so you can add shadows on the frames if you want, you can merge them all before adding shadows or add them individually. You can also change the frame colors, add a bevel, or tweak them as you wish.

What will you do with that?? I hope you show off your project.
