New script – Pattern Maker

by

If you want to create a regular seamless pattern, you can use any open design on your workspace and use it as a fill, but what if you want to arrange the designs at angles, or with mirrored elements?

This script will generate 13 different seamless tiles from any single design (you can use multiple elements if you want since they will all be merged before creating the tiles).

And if you want to only generate one particular pattern, you can choose it manually too.

For a sample, I generated one tile of each of the 13 patterns, using cliparts of paint tubes in different colors. Each tile is in PNG format so you can add whatever background you want to them.

New script – Hand Drawn Chevron

by

It might not be hard to draw chevrons by hand, but it is tedious... very tedious.

This script will use some of 40 different hand drawn patterns to create that effect for you. You can also choose a color palette with up to 8 colors for a unique result that will suit your project or your photo.

It will generate a large seamless tile that you can then use as a fill pattern for any image.

New script – Polkadots

by

You can easily create some simple polkadot patterns with PaintShop Pro, but as soon as the pattern is not as simple, it can become a headache to create.

This script will let you choose up to 12 colors that will be used in the same order to create either a seamless tile or a full-size paper (the size of your choice). And the arrangement can be either of straight lines (with offset rows) or zigzags.

New script – Petal Pattern

by

It might be a design of the past, but sometimes, the past comes back into fashion. You can create this design manually, but it is tedious. You can use a template, but it is still tedious to change the colors especially if you want more variety.

This script will use up to 8 colors and randomly create up to 20 tiles that can then be used to fill a larger image, whether you want to create a background paper, a frame, a mat, or anything else.

New script – Quick Tile 3

by

To create patterns from photos is a great way to have matching colors for your papers. In addition, it is a great way to use "bad" photos, those out of focus, with odd colors, etc.

The script will create up to 25 tiles in just a few seconds. Some designs will be great, others, maybe not-so-great, but you can just discard those that don't suit you. And if needed, run the script again to generate more tiles. With the random feature integrated in the script, you will always get different results.

New script – Scales 2

by

Scale pattern script for PaintShop ProThis new script will create some seamless scale patterns with any color palette you want.

You can add a 3D effect with some faint shadows (particularly useful if you don't use an outline to separate similar colors), or use an existing photo to pick all the colors from it.

Many options are available when you run this script.

Scale seamless patterns in jpg formatAs a sample, I created 3 seamless tiles with green shades to go with a possible dinosaur theme. Of course, you can also use those with a garden theme or anything else. There is also a full-size paper with randomized greens. All the elements used the same color palette so they should match if you want to use them together.

New script – Triangles 3

by

Triangle pattern for seamless tiles script in PaintShop ProTriangular 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.

Triangle seamless tiles For a sample, I generated 15 tiles (3 tiles for each of the 5 patterns) in pastel/Easter/spring colors. Use them at 100% scale or smaller if you prefer. You can also add a blur to the finished image if you want.

New script – Paper Bricks

by

Paper Bricks pattern script for PaintShop ProIf you want to combine a set of papers into a new design, you can create this brick wall pattern. But doing it manually, is absolutely tedious and difficult. Which is a good thing there is a script for that.

With this script, you can use as many papers as you want, whether they are solid, textured or patterned. And since each brick is created from a different area of the papers every time, you will always get a different result, with every run of the script.

For a sampler, I am offering you a greyscale version of the pattern in the preview. There is no background so you can use any color or paper for it. To colorize the bricks, you can either use the Colorize command over the whole image, or over a selection of some bricks or rows. But if you want to be fancier, you can duplicate this layer, lock the transparency and paint over some bricks, and then change the Blend mode.
