New script – Text Slats

March 27, 2026 by Cassel

The Text Slats script for PaintShop Pro lets you create overlapping text effects that reveal your photo inside each letter. With customizable stroke, shadows, and overlap, you can easily highlight the most interesting parts of your image. Use the result directly on your photo or reuse the slats in other projects for unique designs.

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 a sampler, I created some slats without any background so you could use it on any photo of your choice. I did have to do some manual work to remove the "fill". This is not part of the typical run of the script.

New script – Masonry – Bricks

July 25, 2025 by Cassel

Looking for a unique way to turn your titles or elements into something bold and textured? The Masonry – Bricks script lets you convert any shape—raster or vector—into a brick-style element with realistic texture and uneven edges.

You can choose from 15 different combinations of patterns and colors, so every result is a little different. Use it to create custom alphas, decorative accents, photo frames, or even full word art pieces that look like they were built from brick or stone.

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!

To give you a sample of what this script can create, here’s a set of digits from 0 to 9, turned into masonry elements using one of the built-in styles. These are perfect for adding dates, ages, or other numbers to your layouts. Each one is 500 pixels high and saved in PNG format, so they’re easy to add and recolor.

New script – Broken

September 13, 2024 by Cassel

Although it is easy enough to create a broken effect on text, it can be tedious and not as interesting when you need to do it randomly. The script will do all the work for you in just a few seconds. If you don't like the result, run it again as you will get a different result every time.

The end result will be on unmerged layers, so you can rearrange them if you want, but they will also be grouped to make it easy for you to copy and paste onto your next project while maintaining the layers.

To win this product, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us word would you associate with a "broken" appearance (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 a sample, I created four words that were run through that script. All four words are "accident-related" and in greyscale for you to color. They are in PNG format, so you can use them in a variety of programs.

New script – Doppler

July 15, 2022 by Cassel

The Doppler effect is that difference in sound you hear when a vehicle runs in your direction, and then away from you. It is a sort of echo of the soundwave.

This script will create that "wave" on top or on the bottom of any text you provide. You can use a solid color, a gradient or even a pattern. In the end, the main text and the "echo" will be on separate layers so you can apply different effects to it, separately.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use this effect (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).

As a sample, I ran the script on individual digits starting with a black text. This will allow you to colorize the elements to match your project. To maintain the transparency on these digits while adding color, lock the transparency of the layer, fill with the material you want, and unlock the transparency.
