New script – Gradient Dimension

by

You might be familiar with the Dimension script where one could add an even thickness, in whatever color you wanted. This time around, the thickness would follow a gradient, whether it is already made, or based on two or three colors you will choose.

The script will create up to 100 layers following the chosen gradient, to give a unique effect to any shape.

You can start with a vector or a raster layer. It will work well either way.

New script – Photo Zigzag

by

It is always interesting to use an actual photo and use it to create background papers since they will perfectly match.

This script will use random sections of the photo and create seamless tiles with a zigzag pattern. You can use those tiles in any scale you want to fill any larger canvas. You can generate up to 20 tiles in one run. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

As a sampler, I used this St-Patrick photo to generate 6 seamless tiles. All the tiles are 400 pixels wide but of different lengths. They all show some greens but also the white and orange from the Irish flag. This is perfect for you St-Patrick projects. If you find the colors too bright, you can blur them or desaturate them to suit your projects.

New Brushes – Punches B

by

This set of brushes will allow you to paint or cut intricate designs in the middle of a paper (or a photo). Create cutouts away from the edges and corners.

You can also use the UNerase function to re-add paper where the punches would otherwise remove it. You can then customize the designs even further.

You get 10 different designs, mostly using diamonds and squares.

One has a heart shape punched out, while the others are 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.

New script – Pencil Sketch 2

by

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

by

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

by

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

by

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.

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

by

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

by

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.
