600 Floral Frame Shapes for Frames and Page Embellishments

Activated 03.10.09

Continuing on with the massive shapes upload: I've just activated 600 floral frame shapes for use in Photoshop and Elements, these with a floral theme. Each design is unique, and with all the variations you can create you literally have millions of applications/styles at your disposal. Compared to what others are charging for just a few shapes, these are more than worth the price of admission.

This is the fourth group in a series of over 5000 shapes I'm activating over the next few days. To better manage your ActionFx presets, I suggest you check out the Tumasoft Preset Viewer.

Each set has 12 shapes in floral/leaf/vine styles.

Turn into stylish page embellishments, use in masks for unique frame borders, or convert to brushes or .png files and create cool doodads to include with your digital scrapbooking kits. So many applications to choose from, you'll be busy for quite awhile!

Here's the breakdown:

  • 600 Custom Shapes in all
  • Many Design Styles (Flowers, planets, vines, combinations)
  • Divided into 50 sets of 12 Shapes each
  • Shapes were created at 600 ppi for clean and distinct edges
  • Easily converted to brushes or transparent .png files
  • Use with the ActionFx Layer Styles for some very dynamic creations!

AFX Photoshop CS3 Spirograph Actions (Tested in CS2, CS3 and CS4)

6 Incredible Spirograph/Lace Generating Tools

Attention Digital Scrapbookers:

Those of you who have been members of ActionFx for awhile may recall a series of actions I did in the past that generated Spirograph style designs, which could then be turned into lace designs and objects, brushes, shapes and so forth. Those were created specifically for Photoshop CS2, and really do not play well with other incarnations of the software. I've corrected that in this group of actions, so I'm happy to introduce (drumroll please)...

The NEW and IMPROVED Spirograph and Lace Generating Actions!!!

There are 6 actions in this set. The first two are designed to generate the same effect/image everytime... just basic spirograph patterns you may be familiar with from your childhood. Where this set really shines is with the last 4 actions. They are designed to turn any custom shape into MULTIPLE spirograph and lace style images. Each action creates lines of differing thickness, so for those very intricate designs you will want to use the last action in the set.

I did say multiple designs, and I meant it: at varying stages during action playback, the action will create a duplicate image and from that generate an even more complex pattern. When you run the last 4 actions you will end up with 4-5 distinct designs from a single shape that you can then save as a .png file for later use or distribution, define as a brush for painting or as a custom shape to add to your Photoshop aresnal of tools. The examples you see here are just a few of the millions of designs you can achieve with these incredible actions.

Here's the breakdown on the new Spirograph actions:

  • 6 Actions in this set
  • Easily resize and place in your designs
  • Use as embellishments for your DS Kits
  • Each action creates a 300 ppi image
  • Save as a .png for later use or distribution
  • Define as brushes and shapes to create your own tools
  • Tested in Photoshop CS4, CS3 and CS2
  • Commercial Use OK
