New script – Masonry-Stone

You can turn any shape into a masonry element, whether you want to have a fairly neat edge or give a more rustic look with full stones but more randomly placed on the edges. There are 5 different patterns with 3 different colors each. Furthermore, you can choose to have small, medium, or large stones.

One great feature of this script is that you can select different settings for each run, but if you need to create a series of matching elements, you can edit the script to set those preferences and it will run without asking you all those questions.

Maybe a word like “HOME” or “STRONG”? (Remember — only comments count. Likes and shares are appreciated, but won’t count as entries.) A winner will be announced in next week’s newsletter.

For a sampler, I edited the script to select the same settings for all the characters in a full alphabet and a set of digits. Each character is about 600 pixels high in PNG format so you can use them in any program.

New picture tubes – Colored Pebbles

If you enjoy adding texture and dimension to your scrapbook pages, you’ll love these Colored Pebbles picture tubes for PaintShop Pro. This set includes 10 vibrant pebble collections that let you draw freehand trails, outline shapes, or fill specific areas with a rich mosaic effect. Each tube contains dozens of unique pebbles in multiple orientations, randomly distributed for a natural and varied look every time you use them.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever done some "pebble art" in the past (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 where I drew a few preset shapes and ran the VectorTube to place a gold colored rope (the one that came with PSP2022. Then, I selected various sections and filled them with different colors of pebbles. With a little shadowing, the rope was added above the pebbles. This frame is quite large and in PNG format, so you can use it in a variety of programs to showcase your favorite photo.
