New tubes – Netting C

July 29, 2022July 29, 2022 by Cassel

Variegated Netting picture tubes for PaintShop Pro To create a nautical project, using netting is a common element. Recently, we had some netting picture tubes that you could use to embellish your project. This time around, the netting is variegated, giving the whole project a different look.

You get 10 different colors of picture tubes and they are seamless so if you need a net that is taller than 700 pixels, simply duplicate your layer and move it to align it up or down.

Get them in the store: Netting C

(and yes, the Netting B is missing; I was working on another set, but chose to change to a variegated set for now. Don't worry, the Netting B will be released, in the future)

As a sampler, I created a wood frame (using a script) and added three layers of netting. I distorted them irregularly, and deleted what was extending outside of the frame. I then added some seashells from the 2019 picture tubes.

New tubes – Netting

June 17, 2022 by Cassel

Whether you want to create a nautical project or find a way to have a different type of background, you can use these picture tubes. They are completely seamless so you can juxtapose them on top of each other to make a tall net. Then, you can use the Warp Mesh, or the Deformation map to give some movement to the net. Finally, add elements to your page, whether they are beach elements or photos you will attach with clothespins.

For a sampler, I created a full-size 3600x3600 image with a neutral color netting. You can erase some parts, you can use the Warp Brush, or Deformation map to make waves, etc. It is a png format so you can add whatever background you want, or even thread ribbons, vines or other elements through the mesh.

New Picture Tube – Braided Ribbons

May 20, 2022 by Cassel

If you ever braided ribbons in the past, you know that they could make for a nice long element that can then be used in various shapes. This is the same that you can do with PaintShop Pro and this set of picture tubes.

The set includes 10 colors plus a grey one that you can colorize if the base colors are not what you need.

Draw with your cursor or use the VectorTube script to place them perfectly along a path.

As a sampler, I just made a basic oval shape and using the VectorTube script, added some green braided ribbon. I added a ribbon bow (which is from Digitalscrapbook.com) and colorized it to match the ribbons (it was light blue initially).

New tubes – Vines 1

May 6, 2022 by Cassel

How about some climbing vines in the background for your next spring or summer project? These picture tubes will partially cover a wall of your choice, with vines. You can change the step to make it bushier if you prefer.

You also get some individual leaves so you can draw your own vines, around windows or other elements. They match the larger vines in size, colors and textures.

For a sampler, I created a lattice frame where I added two vines. I created a path with the Pen tool, where I wanted the vines to go and ran the VectorTube script to place all the leaves perfectly on the path. I repeated the process with a green vine and the pink one.
