With this script, you will get some custom masks to showcase sections of your photo. You can either keep a section intact or convert that section to a series of curly lines.
You can create that mask in any shape or size you want and the script will make the mask for you. Every run of the script, even with the same area, will yield a different result.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever used a similar type of mask to showcase a photo (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 ran the script on a black image, and selected the central area to create the mask. The result is a simple jpg mask that you can use to showcase a panoramic photo, or simply focus on a horizontal section of a non-panoramic photo.

Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.
For a freebie, I used some cute animal cliparts and converted them into diamond paintings. Each one is fairly large so you can size them down as needed.
You might have a lot of photos to display and you want them showcased in a different way. How about hanging them all on a line?
As a sampler (since you likely don't care about MY photos), I converted one page with 15 photos into a layered template. Although you cannot move the photos like you would be able to with the actual script, you can still adjust what photo you want to display on each group.
Placing photos in a perfect circle is an interesting way to display them, but it can be very tedious to take care of resizing each photo to the correct dimension for their number, then spacing them, aligning them and rotating them perfectly to form that circle.
As a sample, I ran the script with 8 photos and simply replaced the photos with grey squares (you don`t need to have my photos, do you?). Everything is left in unmerged layers so you can change the color of the borders if you want. You can insert your photos inside the mask groups. You can add various papers or elements to decorate the page.
Various templates exist to create diptychs and triptychs but using something standard might just not suit your photo as you might end up with a face cut in the middle or some other subjects not being really well showcased. This script will allow you to select the subjects to showcase and it will do all the calculations to split the photo between those areas you will determine.
As a sample, I created a split photo starting with a simple black image, which turns into a template that you can use with your own photo. You can change the color of the borders and the background if you want too.
Watercolor can be a great way to showcase a landscape, a location or anything else, but like any tangible medium, it could be messy.
As a sample, I created a simple page that uses the same mask as on the main preview. Of course, you would have to add the watercolor effect on the image to get the colors you want but this mask will give that look on the edges without any work.
Diamond shapes will convey an impression of dynamism so using diamond-shaped slats to showcase your photos will give them a new angle.
For a sampler, I created this layered template for you to showcase your photo in the middle. The template is 3600 pixels wide and in pspimage format for PaintShop Pro users.
You can now feel like an artist and turn any photo into a colorful painted silhouette.
For a sampler, I was inspired by the painted effect and I decided to apply it to some text, a little like a graffiti artist. I picked a few words that could be used in various projects and applied the effect using 4 basic colors. There is also a spelling variation for Colorful/Colourful so everyone should be able to use it.
Have you ever tried to align several photos on a straight line, with each photo evenly spaced? It is a little tedious. Now, imagine that you have multiple rows to create. That definitely adds to the work.
For a free sample, I created a gallery template that you can use to add 7 photos of your choice. You can change the background color and even the canvas size if you want to add some text at the bottom. Embellish as you wish, or leave it minimalist. It is your choice.
Have you ever tried to create a montage of pop art images inspired by Andy Warhol? It uses bold colors and simplistic lines and offers multiple variations on the same colors.
As a freebie, obviously, there was no way to give you a sample that would suit your own project, so I figured that everyone was quite enthusiastic about the balloon twists frame from a couple of weeks ago so I created another one, in different shape and using a different color. Those balloons would be quite suitable for summer theme projects.
