New script – Pencil Sketch 2

If you want to convert a part of your photo into a "technical" pencil sketch drawing, this script will help you with it. You can use any image and any section to convert.

The script will create a brownish base paper, but you can also use your own, in any color, with any texture.

All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak each of them as you want, erasing sections, colorizing them, etc.

o, sketch, As a sample, I used pictures of isolated flower clusters and ran the script. I added a separate frame and removed the "technical" drawings as they didn't seem to fit with the theme. Each card is 4x6 and has enough space for you to write a sentiment, a quote, or a message.

New script – Painted Frames 2

You can now add some painted frames around any photo, element, or even just a selection. This means that you can even work directly on your work in progress.

This script will take care of all the calculations so you will have an even frame all around. You can use a single color or two different colors.

And if you want something irregular, you can add that to the paint stroke.

New script – Counting cards 1

Whether you are doing a "Project 52" or just want to showcase your photos, sometimes, it can be fun to have an overlay to show the week and year of that particular photo.

This script will create a complete set of 53 cards (yes, there is a 53th week in the year, for the few days left). You can choose the fonts, the color, the size, and the format.

All the cards/overlays will be combined into a single file with 53 individual layers, clearly labelled so you can just pick the one you need at the time.

New script – Lightbulb

Whatever theme you are using for your next graphic project, you might want to add some light to it. I mean, literally. With this script, you will be able to turn any vector object into a lit lightbulb, with your choice of color.

In addition, you will be able to add one of the six included filament wherever you want on the edge of the bulb for a unique effect. You could even put the filament at the bottom if you want to "stand" your lightbulbs on a base instead of hanging them.

For a sampler, I created a simple set of digits for you to add any date you want. I used basic colors so they will be as versatile as possible. Each one is in png format so you can add them onto any background. They are in png format so you can use them with most graphic programs and they have some transparency so you will be able to see through them.

New script – Stacked Wooden Alpha

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.

New script – Bow #23

If you want some variety in your supplies but still want something to match what you currently have, this is another script to create a bow from a straight ribbon.

If your ribbon is thicker than 175 pixels, the script will resize it to create the bow, however, if your ribbon is between 100 and 175 pixels, it will just create a smaller bow.

All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak them as needed or insert something in the knot.

New script – Triangles 4

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 script – Inked Edge 2

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.

As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout. One has the year 2023 cut out of it, while the other is blank for you to add anything else you want. The design can even be cut from actual paper/cardstock using a cutting machine. You can colorize these strips any way you want. Each "bookmark" is 600x3000 pixels long and can also be used as an element on your next project.
