New script – Bow #22

This script will create a double bow out of a single thin ribbon. Although you can have the same ribbon for all the loops, you can also colorize the inside loops and tails to give the impression of using different ribbons.

Even more, you can let the script group the layers for the inside bow, and then copy and paste the whole group into another bow made with the same script, and you would end up with completely different ribbons in your bow.

For a sample, I used two ribbons from Janet Kemp (you can get them HERE) and colorized them three times. I then combined the inside loops from the solid-colored bows and inserted them into the floral bows.

New script – Streaks

Streaking colors script for PaintShop ProWith graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.

You can apply this effect to any photo, in any of the four basic directions, and you can also have the ends of the streaks reach the edge of the image or not, for different effects.

Stitched ribbons in png formatFor a sample, of course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.

Each run of the script will create a different combination of designs and randomly selected colors from your palette.

Keep the eggs you like and discard the rest. Run the script again if you want more eggs.

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.

Datestamps for the months in PNG formatFor a sample, I created a set of 12 datestamps with the months of the year. I have three years listed on top so you can always circle the one that matches your project. I purposefully left the space empty at the very bottom so you can add a date if you want. Everything is in greyscale so you can colorize it, and it is in png format.

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.

And you can even choose to have tinted paper if you want to match a color palette.
