New Script – Uneven Lines

by

Although you can create uneven lines manually, it can be tedious to repeat the process for many lines on a page.

This script will generate a full-size page of lines in the color of your choice (and up to 6 different colors) with additional options for the line thickness, the line spacing, and amount of distortion for the lines. With the random function integrated in the script, no two lines will be identical and you will get a different result every time you run the script.

The end result will be on a transparent background so you can duplicate that layer, mirror it, rotate it, or modify it however you want for many more creative results.

New script – Paper Tree 2

Stylized trees are a perfect addition to your scrapbook pages, cards, and posters, and now you can create them effortlessly with this script! Every run generates a unique tree design, using the papers you’ve opened in your workspace. No two trees will ever be the same!

The best part? Each section of the tree is left on a separate layer, giving you complete freedom to tweak the design. Replace some pieces with photos, adjust colors, or even turn sections into mask groups for extra creativity.

How will you use these beautiful paper trees? As festive embellishments, striking focal points, or part of a seasonal layout? The possibilities are endless!

New script – Phrase Strips

by

Phrase strips script for PaintShop ProYou can use individual stips of "papers" in different colors to showcase quotes, phrases, or individual lines of a poem but doing that manually is time-consuming and tedious.

This script will save you a lot of time while giving you great flexibility. You can choose up to 10 colors/gradients/patterns to use as a paper background. You can you ANY font, and as many as you want to add variety. You can use any number of phrases. And there are also additional options for you to choose from.

New script – Scatter Brush

by

Scatter Brush script for PaintShop ProCreating a seamless background design is fairly easy when using PaintShop Pro, but covering a whole surface in random design is much more challenging. In addition, trying to avoid overlaps is an added difficulty.

This script will take a single brush tip of your choice and cover any surface with it, in a random manner. You won't see any repeat and very little overlap. This will be perfect for backgrounds.

Scattered background design for summer and winterFor a sample of this script, I am sharing two full-size papers: one for your winter projects and one for summer. For the winter paper, I manually added the white pompoms while I locked the transparency on the layer. It is a little tedious but the result is worth it. For the summer paper, I used a dolphin brush in blues and added a few starfish afterward. Both papers are available with a background (in jpg format) and without (in png format).

New script – Paper Fringe

by

Paper Fringe script for PaintShop ProIn 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.

New Script – Paper Strips
