New script – Octagonal Frame

April 16, 2026April 3, 2026 by Cassel

Do you want a different shape for your frames? You can turn any ribbon or strip into an angled frame with the Octagonal Frame script for PaintShop Pro. You can use opaque or translucent ribbons, lace, or even wood planks (as long as the edges are straight). With adjustable corner cuts, you can easily create a range of geometric styles with various sizes too.

I created two frames starting with wooden images. Once done, I added some fine details around the edges. An inner bevel is added to the final result.

New picture tubes – Gimp Trims 3

June 19, 2025April 11, 2025 by Cassel

The first Gimp trims were released 13 years ago! But these are slightly different.

You can create delicate ribbons in any length and any shape you want. Use your cursor to draw your ribbons freely, or you can use the VectorTube script to place them along a precise path. Since these ribbons are a little wide, make sure you use a large enough shape and avoid tiny corners and curves.

For samplers, I created two frames for you. Each one is made from running the VectorTube script twice on a simple shape. One trim is full size while the inside trim is half-size for an interesting effect.

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).
