New script – Triangles 3

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.

New script – Offset Cutout

Offset Cutout Script for PaintShop ProIn order to create a depth effect, you can use several cutouts in decreasing sizes along with large shadows. But doing it by hand can be tedious, which is why I created this script.

Starting with any vector shape, it will create all those layers for you. You can have them all centered but if you want a different effect, tell the script where you want the offsets to go and everything will be done for you.

In the end, you will have a layered template that you can customize with colors, patterns, or papers of your choice.

This script allows  you to choose the text and color of your choice, but you also get the choice for the top and the middle font, which can be identical or different.

New script – Newspaper Alpha

Newspaper alphabet script for PaintShop ProNewspapers can be a fun medium to print letters on, and create a random effect. This might be easy but it is quite tedious to have something very irregular. That is why this script will be a time-saver.

The script will let you choose several fonts that will be used at random (you can also choose only one font if you want). Then, you can also select up to 6 colors that will also be selected at random. Finally, you can ask the script to respect the cases or mix up the uppercase and lowercase for the characters you chose.

New script – Scatter Brush

Scatter Brush script for PaintShop ProCreating a seamless background design is fairly easy when using PaintShop Pro, but covering a whole surface in random design is much more challenging. In addition, trying to avoid overlaps is an added difficulty.

This script will take a single brush tip of your choice and cover any surface with it, in a random manner. You won't see any repeat and very little overlap. This will be perfect for backgrounds.

Scattered background design for summer and winterFor a sample of this script, I am sharing two full-size papers: one for your winter projects and one for summer. For the winter paper, I manually added the white pompoms while I locked the transparency on the layer. It is a little tedious but the result is worth it. For the summer paper, I used a dolphin brush in blues and added a few starfish afterward. Both papers are available with a background (in jpg format) and without (in png format).
