Octagonal Frame - PSP Script

Create unique octagonal frames from any straight element with this versatile PaintShop Pro script. Whether you use ribbons, trims, paper strips, or textured edges, this script will transform them into clean, angled frames with customizable corner cuts.

You can control the overall size of the frame as well as how deep the corners are cut, allowing you to create anything from subtle angled corners to more pronounced octagonal shapes. Each frame is built from multiple segments, giving you flexibility with a wide range of materials and styles.

This script works especially well with elements that have straight edges and a consistent thickness, such as patterned ribbons, gradients, or textured strips. While directional designs like text or numbers may not align perfectly at the corners, they can still produce creative and unexpected results.

Because the frame is assembled from individual segments, the mitered corners will not always match perfectly, particularly with detailed or uneven edges. However, this often adds a decorative or handcrafted look, making each frame unique.

Use this script to create frames for scrapbook pages, photo highlights, titles, or any project where you want a distinctive geometric border.
