New script – Word in Grid

November 15, 2024 by Cassel

It is quite tedious to create a grid of letters to spell out a word, but this script will create it for you, in just a few seconds. And once your template is done, it is up to you to customize it, and replace the various elements with your favorite colors, papers, photos, etc.

You can use a single word, a name, a short phrase, or a date. Beware that the longer the text, the harder it becomes to read it! But you can let your creativity shine!

Once the template is completed, it is up to you to customize each component.

New script – Slipped In Corners 2

July 12, 2024 by Cassel

Here is another script to hold your photos onto paper. Although this is similar to the first slipped in corners script, this one offers a cutout design for each corner instead of a simple slit.

You get three options for the cutouts and the end result will be a series of layers all linked together so you can actually move your photo anywhere on the project. If you group those layers, you can even copy and paste the whole group on a separate layout.

New script – Photo Circle Template

February 23, 2024 by Cassel

You might be able to get some ready-made templates to showcase your photos but how about creating some that will perfectly match what you need?

This script will create a template with 6 to 16 repeats of a specific shape. You can choose one of the included shapes, or draw your own for a different effect. Each area will be converted into a mask group to make it easy for you to add your photos.

New script – Hanging Photos 2

June 2, 2023 by Cassel

It can be fun to display photos on a string, and in digital projects, it is just as easy, although it can be tedious to resize, move, rotate and attach all the photos on one image. That is why I coded this script.

You can now display as many photos as you want on up to 6 strings. The script will take care of all the tedious and repetitive tasks for you. You will end up with unmerged layers so you can tweak the default arrangement as you wish.

New script – Offset Cutout

February 17, 2023February 17, 2023 by Cassel

In 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.

For a sampler, I created a template for a folded card, 2100x3000 pixels with a round cutout. You can use it as a folded card by keeping it in full size of you can just use the bottom part to make it into a postcard, or a framed image.

New script – Quick Guides

January 24, 2023January 21, 2023 by Cassel

When working with PaintShop Pro to create frames or other effects, it is convenient to use guides so we can snap to them and keep our elements, our lines, or brush strokes aligned. Although adding guides along the edges of any image is not really difficult, it is a little tedious to place them exactly on the edges, especially for all four sides. Furthermore, if you want to place guides in the very center, you have to do some calculations too.

This is what this script will do for you, and in a single click too!

You can now get this script for FREE in the store (you still have to go through the checkout though). Quick Guides

Since this script is free, there is no random draw to win it, but if you want to add a comment on Facebook, you can do so on this post.

As a utility script, I can hardly create a sample from using it, right? So, as a freebie, I decided to create a mask template for you using the Fireworks picture tubes available in the Campus for the January theme blog post (you can get those tubes HERE).

New Script – Paper Strips

September 16, 2022 by Cassel

Sometimes, it can look interesting to have a series of paper strips of different colors or patterns to serve as a background for a project. However, that can be tedious and time-consuming.

This script will just do that for you in a very short time, using your papers, and your options, sprinkled with some randomness too. Every run of the script will yield a different result, even if you were to use the same papers and the same options.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever used series of papers as a background for a project (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sample, I chose to create a series of strips, aligned to the bottom, and turned them into a template so you can use it with your favorite papers. These strips are grouped so you can copy and paste them onto your project in one step (instead of copying them one by one!).

New script – Photo Circle

April 8, 2022 by Cassel

Placing photos in a perfect circle is an interesting way to display them, but it can be very tedious to take care of resizing each photo to the correct dimension for their number, then spacing them, aligning them and rotating them perfectly to form that circle.

This is what this script will do for you, with very little effort on your part. You can display as many photos as you want, and the script will take care of all the calculations for you.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you ever placed photos in a perfect circle in a display (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sample, I ran the script with 8 photos and simply replaced the photos with grey squares (you don`t need to have my photos, do you?). Everything is left in unmerged layers so you can change the color of the borders if you want. You can insert your photos inside the mask groups. You can add various papers or elements to decorate the page.

New script – Circular Slats

January 21, 2022 by Cassel

In order to showcase your photos, there are many different ways. You can use slats in different shapes but in order to create those slats evenly, it is a tedious process.

This script will let you select the subject you want to showcase, and then you will pick various options for the slats, whether you want them on one side or both sides, evenly or decreasing, upward, downward or centered. You get to choose the color of the outline.

The end result will be on separate layers allowing you even more customization.
