New script – Cogwheels 2

November 11, 2022November 11, 2022 by Cassel

Cogwheels script for PaintShop Pro

Whether you are into steampunk style, or just like to work with various mechanisms that use gears, creating new shapes might be a little tedious.

This script will offer you the options for the number and types of teeth, and the number and types of spokes. But you can also generate something totally random, in just a couple of clicks and every one of them will be slightly different.

Get this script in the store: Cogwheels 2

See how you can run the script and how to attach all those gears together:

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use gears and cogwheels (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 sample, I created a frame using various cogwheels generated by the script. I resized them, added a texture using Filter Forge, added a bevel, and shadows. I also had fun adding chains to connect those wheels.

The download includes a pspimage format with a mask group to add your photo, but also a simple png file if you don't have PaintShop Pro to open the pspimage file.

New script – Line Painting

October 28, 2022 by Cassel

When I was in school, I remember one art class where we had to use straight lines of different thicknesses to replicate a simple image. I was not very good at that, but I would have loved to have this script, which does it in just a few seconds.

Starting with any image, the script will reduce the number of colors and change it to greyscale to determine the brightness of each section and then fill those sections with straight lines in different thicknesses. In the end, you get various options to finish the project. You can use those line paintings to display photos that have odd colors, or not in focus, or just as a background for your page.

New script – Palette Maker 2

October 14, 2022 by Cassel

If you like the idea of coordinating various elements in a page or a kit, using a set color palette is an easy way to do it.

This script will generate a color palette for you starting with any photo you have. Each color will be displayed as a brush stroke on the right or the bottom of the image. The hex code for each color is optional.

New script – Circles and Spirals

September 30, 2022 by Cassel

You can place elements along a circle or a spiral manually, but it is quite tedious.

This script will take care of all the calculations for you and create that perfect circle or spiral with any starting element. Use beads, pearls, flowers, greenery, hearts, stars, flower petals, etc.

Use the circles for frames, and the spirals for accents.

For a sampler, I created two large circle frames and one spiral with bats coming at you. Each element is in png format and about 3000 pixels wide, so you can resize them as needed.

New script – Paper Fringe

September 23, 2022 by Cassel

In order to create a paper fringe with PaintShop Pro, you will need to cut your element multiple times, and then, warp each piece one by one. But there is a problem: how do you warp one piece of paper without warping the next one? Well, there is a way to do it, but it is tedious, which is why this script will be a time saver.

With various options in the orientation, length, width, and regularity of the slits, there is also randomness integrated into the script to allow for a different result every time you run it, even if using the same settings and the same starting image.

And see what you can do when you repeat the script using multiple strips of colored papers.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever created paper fringes with paper and scissors (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 this square frame from four strips of paper that were run through the script, one by one, and then put together to make the frame. I added a little contrasting border to add some interest. Now, you can showcase your favorite photo.

New Script – Paper Strips

September 16, 2022 by Cassel

Sometimes, it can look interesting to have a series of paper strips of different colors or patterns to serve as a background for a project. However, that can be tedious and time-consuming.

This script will just do that for you in a very short time, using your papers, and your options, sprinkled with some randomness too. Every run of the script will yield a different result, even if you were to use the same papers and the same options.

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 chose to create a series of strips, aligned to the bottom, and turned them into a template so you can use it with your favorite papers. These strips are grouped so you can copy and paste them onto your project in one step (instead of copying them one by one!).

New script – Bow #19

September 9, 2022 by Cassel

Using bows and knots can be quite versatile as long as you have variety. This is the 19th type of bow in the store (and we have knots too) so using your own straight ribbon, you will have the option to create some matching bows. The script uses a random location on the ribbon so if you run the script multiple times on a patterned ribbon, you will get different results.

If you don't have a straight ribbon to use, the script can generate one for you with your choice of color, gradient or pattern.

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 six little bows using ribbons from Janet Kemp. I layered a grosgrain ribbon with lace and flattened both. Then, I ran the script. I then ran the script on the grosgrain ribbon alone (without the lace), and since the layers were not merged, I copied and pasted the knot part only to replace the one on the "lacy" bow. It is a little more work but it shows how versatile this script can be with unmerged layers.

New script – Paper Pinwheel

August 26, 2022 by Cassel

Creating a pinwheel out of paper might sound simple using a template, but would NOT respect the correct orientation when the paper is flipped.

To help you, this script will do all the cutting, flipping and rotating needed to create a pinwheel with YOUR choice of papers. You will get 6 options for the edges, and 4 options for paper combinations. And since you can pick your own papers to create the pinwheels, the possibilities are endless.

As a sampler, I used papers from a kit called Summer Fun from Janet Kemp and created four simple pinwheels. You can get all the matching papers from this kit HERE.

New script – Admission Tickets 2

August 12, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create your own admission ticket (or other types of tickets) with this script. You get various options to incorporate into the making of it, including colors, text, fonts, texture and design.

You can create a single ticket or a series of up to six (just like you get at the carnival). Customize the tickets with various designs in the small boxes or leave them empty and you can punch holes in them (like for each visit, each coffee, etc.)

New script – Fabric Patch

August 5, 2022 by Cassel

Now, you can turn any vector shape into one of 8 fabric textures. The script will use the color you started with and will blend in the texture. You can create titles with it, frames, mats, cluster elements, etc.

The script will add stitching around the edge (you decide how close to the edge you want it and its color), and you can also have a frayed edge along the whole border. The stitching and the frayed edge will be left unmerged at the end, so you can tweak them, or remove them, or even use them separately somewhere else.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you could use those fabric patches in a 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 created some random patches in different basic colors. Use them as you wish. They are about 700 pixels in width and in png format.
