New script – Text Slats

by

The Text Slats script for PaintShop Pro lets you create overlapping text effects that reveal your photo inside each letter. With customizable stroke, shadows, and overlap, you can easily highlight the most interesting parts of your image. Use the result directly on your photo or reuse the slats in other projects for unique designs.

In order to win these brushes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what words would you try first (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 sampler, I created some slats without any background so you could use it on any photo of your choice. I did have to do some manual work to remove the "fill". This is not part of the typical run of the script.

New script – Travel Tag 5

by

Want to add some travel flair or realistic labels to your projects? This new script will create customizable Travel Tags with your own text, colors, and style.

You can enter up to three lines of text, pick any color, gradient, or pattern, and the script will automatically create a lighter center area with a subtle grid texture for a printed look. It even adjusts the contrast if your tag color is too dark or too light.

Add random numbers, your own text, or an empty box ready to add written text. Every tag is different, making it perfect for scrapbook pages, travel projects, or fun digital labels!

Since those tags are expected to be customized to your project or your story, I created some more "generic" tags that can be used with a variety of themes.

New script – Knot #18

by

Do you ever struggle to make ribbons look natural when tying them digitally? This new script will take care of that for you! Whether you choose one, two, or three ribbons, the script will automatically prepare them and tie them into a lovely triple knot.

Each time you run the script, you’ll get a slightly different result — the tails will angle differently, the ribbon segments will vary, and the knot itself will be randomly picked from your chosen ribbons. You can create endless unique bows without having to manually crop, resize, or align anything!

For a sampler, I ran the script with one, two, and three greyscale ribbons. The result is left in unmerged layers so you can colorize them separately as needed for your project.

New script – Sticky Album

by

This Sticky Album effect brings back the look of classic adhesive photo albums, complete with realistic ridges and subtle imperfections. It’s a fun way to add a nostalgic touch to your photos, or to create a unique textured overlay that feels instantly vintage.

You can keep the traditional diagonal ridges or go for creative horizontal or vertical variations. For even more impact, try using colored ridges to add a playful twist, or adjust opacity and blend modes to make the effect as subtle or bold as you like.

For this week's sample, I am sharing a basic 6x4 overlay. You can adjust the opacity and the blend mode to get the result you want based on your own photo (different colors can require different blend modes).

New script – Text Portrait

by

This text portrait effect is great if you have a specific subject you want to showcase, and even better if the original image has odd colors since this effect can be applied to a black and white version. But you can still keep the original color, choose a monochrome effect, or even a gradient. So many possibilities.

Some text overlays are included in the zip file, but you can also choose your own for an even more custom effect.

Since I cannot make a sampler from this scripts because it would be based on your own photo, I figured you might be able to showcase something for this time of year: first day of school. Do you have photos of your children, grandchildren or other children in your life? You can use one of those datestamp for all those elementary grades.
