New script – Travel Tag 2

March 24, 2023 by Cassel

Travel Tag script for PaintShop Pro Travel tags are one of those types of tags that can really mean a lot of things. Whether you actually traveled and want to showcase the various cities or airports you went to, or just want to use the tag as an element to add something more personal, this script will help you.

You can choose any color you want so it will be matching your project. You can write just about any text you want. There is even a rectangle reserved for you to add something yourself (you can even handwrite something if you want).

Tear off the bottom part if you want, and use the two sections separately.

New script – Decorated Eggs 4

March 17, 2023 by Cassel

It is always fun to have Easter Eggs to put in a basket, or as add-ons to a graphic project. This script is the fourth in the series and will let you create up to a dozen different eggs based on the colors you want and other options.

Each run of the script will create a different combination of designs and randomly selected colors from your palette.

Keep the eggs you like and discard the rest. Run the script again if you want more eggs.

New script – Triangles 3

March 10, 2023 by Cassel

Triangular shapes are easy to make and they can yield great results when used as a repeating pattern. However, the challenge is usually to mix and match the colors. This is what the script will do for you as it can generate up to 20 seamless tiles in one run, using any color palette of your choice.

The script will also leave the background color layer separate so you can change it or even use only the top layer if you want to cover a full size gradient with it for a completely different look.

New script – Bow #21

February 24, 2023 by Cassel

Bows are very versatile elements to use to decorate any project. From large bows to little ones, from single bows, to double or multiple, you have lots of options.

This script will create a simple bow from any straight ribbon that is at least 185 pixels thick. This way, you can match a straight ribbon used on the project.

New script – Offset Cutout

February 17, 2023February 17, 2023 by Cassel

In order to create a depth effect, you can use several cutouts in decreasing sizes along with large shadows. But doing it by hand can be tedious, which is why I created this script.

Starting with any vector shape, it will create all those layers for you. You can have them all centered but if you want a different effect, tell the script where you want the offsets to go and everything will be done for you.

In the end, you will have a layered template that you can customize with colors, patterns, or papers of your choice.

For a sampler, I created a template for a folded card, 2100x3000 pixels with a round cutout. You can use it as a folded card by keeping it in full size of you can just use the bottom part to make it into a postcard, or a framed image.

New brushes – Edge Punches B

February 10, 2023 by Cassel

In paper crafting, punches are popular to create a decorative edge on papers, frames, photos, etc. With PaintShop Pro, you can create a similar effect by using the Eraser tool with special brush tips.

This is a set of 10 different brush tips to cut out the edges of a paper, but you also get matching corner brushes so you can create a continuous cutout.

New script – Datestamps #12

February 3, 2023 by Cassel

Datestamps 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.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how often you use datestamps in your projects (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

For 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

January 26, 2023 by Cassel

Newspapers 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.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever created random newspaper characters for titles (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 basic red alphabet (in lowercase) on black and white newspapers.

New script – Quick Guides

January 24, 2023January 21, 2023 by Cassel

When working with PaintShop Pro to create frames or other effects, it is convenient to use guides so we can snap to them and keep our elements, our lines, or brush strokes aligned. Although adding guides along the edges of any image is not really difficult, it is a little tedious to place them exactly on the edges, especially for all four sides. Furthermore, if you want to place guides in the very center, you have to do some calculations too.

This is what this script will do for you, and in a single click too!

You can now get this script for FREE in the store (you still have to go through the checkout though). Quick Guides

Since this script is free, there is no random draw to win it, but if you want to add a comment on Facebook, you can do so on this post.

As a utility script, I can hardly create a sample from using it, right? So, as a freebie, I decided to create a mask template for you using the Fireworks picture tubes available in the Campus for the January theme blog post (you can get those tubes HERE).

New script – Plaid 4

January 6, 2023 by Cassel

Plaids are versatile and since you can use a wide variety of colors, the possibilities are endless. Some plaids are simple, some are intricate. This particular design includes a hashed texture that will let you show any background color through.

You can choose from 3 to 10 colors to be used and the script will randomly select them and use them. You can generate up to 25 different tiles that will also be totally seamless. Keep the tiles you like, and discard the others.
