New release – Gold Chain tubes

August 4, 2018August 19, 2010 by Cassel

Did you like the rope tubes that were released in the last few weeks? But i am sure you would love to have something more sophisticated than ropes, right? So, how about some gold? These tubes will let you create fantastic necklaces, bracelets or any other precious elements. Use them in straight lines, in freeform, along a path or around a shape. You get 10 different tubes. Use the default settings to get the look like in the preview or change the step or the size for different looks. The zip also includes one flare so that your jewellery can really shine!

You can find those in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

For a chance to win this set of tubes, go add your name to the RAK thread at DST here. (now… if you are not a PSP user and want to join in the fun anyways, go add your name; you might not win the set but you might win something else *hint*hint*)

New script – JPG Bleed

August 4, 2018August 14, 2010 by Cassel

If you ever wanted to print your layouts either for individual pages or in a photo book, you needed to know how to add some “extra” margin around your design. Have you ever wondered why printers will ask you to add some margin, just to trim them after? To put it simply, it is too hard to be perfectly exact when trimming the paper, and if the cutter is just a few pixels short of the edge, you will get a tiny unsightly white line along that border. Having the paper or the design wider where the printer can cut in, will make sure that there is no such white line. But what if you dont add such a margin (called “bleed”)? The risk is that it will trim INSIDE your margin and you MIGHT loose some details if they are on the edge (like fine borders, journaling, etc.).

All that to tell you why it is important to have a bleed around your pages before you send to print. But what if you did your whole layout, and forgot to add the bleed? If you still have the layered file, it should be fairly easy to enlarge the background paper while leaving the more meaningful details intact. But what if you do not have those layered formats, for whatever reason? This script will take any jpg image and add a margin around it, in matching colors. You even have the option to choose different margin for each side so that you can match the specifications required by any printing service.

Someone mentioned that she had made paper scrap pages and photographed them. Of course, this will give only a flattened image, with no margin. This script would be perfect for her, dont you think?

This script is available in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

Twisted Ropes – Picture tubes

February 26, 2017August 6, 2010 by Cassel

This is my third set of Rope tubes. If you are a regular PSP user, you know that directional tubes will allow you to literally “draw” wherever you want, however long you want. Just doodle with the tube and you will get a rope along the way. You get 10 different types of twisted ropes, mostly neutral kinds.

These tubes work with PSP 8 and up.

They are available in my store: Creation Cassel.

cass-TwistedRopes-samples And here is your free sample. This set includes 3 PSD layered files with shadows in separate layers if you want to use them. They were all made with the Twisted Rope tubes.

You will get one tag tie, one bow and one star frame.

New paths – basic shapes

August 4, 2018July 30, 2010 by Cassel

Last week, i released a script that allowed you to write within the boundaries of a preset shape, but this week, i am providing you with two sets of such preset shapes. The templates are identical, but the path has wider or narrower spacing and you can choose either one, depending on whether you have a lot to say or less. Although the Text Wrapping script is only working for PSP 9 and up, these path can be used starting with PSP8. They can be used with the script (if you have PSP9 and up) but they also work on their own, if you follow the detailed directions included. It is a bit more tedious, but at least, you CAN do it now, unlike before, since PSP does not have that feature available on its own.

Each set includes 12 layered templates: one layer is just a template that you can use or not (that is your option), and the other layer has a Path object that you will use to type your text on so it stays inside the boundaries. You do not have to start at the very top either. If you decide, say, to start on the third line, and use only the bottom part of the path, it is fine. You can also resize the path/template if you find it too big (they are all about 3000 pixels in height), or stretch/narrow it if you find it too narrow/wide for your need. (just make sure you do not flip it or mirror it as you will get pretty odd results!)

These sets are available in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win those, check the Happy Place at DST and add your name to the thread. I will draw for a winner on Monday night.

New Script – Text Wrapping

August 4, 2018July 23, 2010 by Cassel

Do you sometimes, wish you could place text within a shape and have the text automatically wrap to the next line? You know that PSP does not have that feature. So, do you find yourself having to add spaces here and there to make the text somewhat fit the shape or the space you want to use? This script will now do it for you. Use one of the multiline shaped paths included (others will be made available soon), enter your text, and run the script. You can modify the size of the shape if you want and the text will fit that size/shape. If you want to add another paragraph, just go ahead. (be sure to read the instructions before using this script for better results and no frustration!).

Available at my stores: Creation Cassel, and Do It Digi.

New Script – Contact Sheet

August 4, 2018July 9, 2010 by Cassel

This script falls in the category of TOOLS. If you are a digiscrapper, you might want to be able to have a visual catalogue of the content of your kits. If you are a designer, maybe you want to provide such a catalogue to your customer. If you are a fan of photography, maybe you want to have some thumbnails of all the cat photos, the vacation photos, etc.

You have several options to choose from but you can include: full path of the folder, frames around the images, shadows, filename. And the script will create (and number) as many pages as needed to display all the graphic files in the folder. It will generate a preview of files with these extensions: jpg, png, psd, psp, pspimage, tiff, wmf.

This script is available in my stores (always on sale until Sunday night): Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

If you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread at the DST forum and add your name. A winner will be picked Monday night.

New script – Bundle Preview

August 4, 2018June 25, 2010 by Cassel

Do you create bundles, or make previews with several smaller previews for collab kits? This script will save you a lot of time. Simply start the script, open the individual images you want to include in the preview, and continue the script. It will automatically count, resize and arrange the images to cover most of the space available. You can get the images rotated or not too.

Use this script to display individual previews in a bundle, quick pages, layouts, or even papers or photos in a layout. The script ends with unmerged layers so if you want to rearrange some images, you still can.

Available at Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, go to this thread and post your name along with an answer to the question from the first post.

New Product – Rope Tubes – Set #2

August 4, 2018June 18, 2010 by Cassel

Did you check out the Rope tubes that i released last week? They were solid colors. This week, you can get another set of 10 rope tubes, but this time, they are multicoloured. You can still use them in the same way you were using the previous set.

These tubes were created with my Directional Tuber Script, and starting with a tiny piece of a real rope photography. Some tubes were recoloured to add variety to this set.

Use them to make doodles, tie some tags, attach various trinkets, etc.

You can get this set on sale until Sunday night, at my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this set of ropes, you can check this thread in the DST forum. cass-Ropes2-Digits

Now, if you are not a PSP user, you can still enjoy and use this free sample. They are layered PSD files so you can use the rope outline with or without the fill. You can also colourize either one or both layers if you want. Each digit is approximately 550 pixels high.

New Script – Grab Bag

August 4, 2018June 4, 2010 by Cassel

Do you sometimes have some grab bags in your store? Are you struggling to find something different to show off your products? Did you ever see bags and wished you could have them in layers? or maybe you found a layered one, but you don’t have much option to customize it other than colorize it?

This script will certainly help you create something unique. With this script, you can create a total of 10 base bags, but that means 2 different formats and 5 different types of handles. But more importantly, you can customize the front, the side, and the handle. Choose your store color, add a logo or a catch phrase, add some decorations (maybe from the elements in your grab bag??), use matching or contrasting colors/gradient/pattern for the front and the side. Really, you will never have a boring grab bag anymore!

You can get them in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum, and add your name. Make sure you also tell me some ways you would think of decorating a grab bag!
