New script – Argyle 2

by

Argyle patterns might be simple to create but if you want a series of tiles matching a color palette, it becomes tedious. This script will generate up to 10 tiles starting with your choice of color palette, and a few more options. It will create those tiles for you in just a few seconds. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

New Picture Tubes – Braid 2

by

These braids combine a white section and a colored section. You get 12 different colors. Each braid is slightly different and not just  colorized versions of a single image.

Draw however you want since the design will follow your cursor movement. Create trims around images, tags, or text. Make them straight or curved, or even looped.

New script – Keyboard alpha

by

You can now create your own alpha from keyboard keys. You can have thick keys or thin ones, depending on your preferences.

The script will create as many keys as you need to write a word, a phrase, or a whole alphabet. Choose the colors, the font, the placement on the key, and let the script work while you watch or go for a coffee.

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.

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

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.

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.
