New script – Masonry-Stone

by

You can turn any shape into a masonry element, whether you want to have a fairly neat edge or give a more rustic look with full stones but more randomly placed on the edges. There are 5 different patterns with 3 different colors each. Furthermore, you can choose to have small, medium, or large stones.

One great feature of this script is that you can select different settings for each run, but if you need to create a series of matching elements, you can edit the script to set those preferences and it will run without asking you all those questions.

Want a chance to get this script for free? Head over to this Facebook post and tell us: What kind of shape or title would you turn into a masonry element? A date? A house number? Maybe a word like “HOME” or “STRONG”? (Remember — only comments count. Likes and shares are appreciated, but won’t count as entries.) A winner will be announced in next week’s newsletter. If you’re not on the list yet, you can join right here. It’s free, and we only email once a week!

For a sampler, I edited the script to select the same settings for all the characters in a full alphabet and a set of digits. Each character is about 600 pixels high in PNG format so you can use them in any program.

New script – Fiber Edges

by

This script adds realistic frayed fibers around the edges of any shape in PaintShop Pro. The fibers automatically follow the colors along the edge, creating a natural and organic finish every time.

You can control the length and density of the fibers, and since each run introduces subtle variation, no two results will ever look the same.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what kind of elements would you use fiber edges on (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 Valentine Day, I ran the script on a heart filled with gingham. That created a full mat. Then, using the starting shape, I trimmed an inside area to create a frame. Then, I ran the script on the sized down shape, I added some fibers on the inside and included a stitching (from a Styled Line). Three elements you can use in different ways.
