All my tutorials this included is for non profit and personal use only.
You may share a link with your groups to my tutorial but please do not share my supplies.
Supplies needed:
PSP I used PSP 9 but you can use any PSP program
2 Fonts of choice, one for copy write and one for name on tag.
Preset Shape called SK Stamps 03 I don't remember where I got these so if it is yours please let me know so I can give you credit. You can get them HERE
Place the Preset Shapes in your Preset Shapes folder.
Tube of choice. I used Ash Evans 30-1 tube which you can get at CDO HERE
I also used the following PTU Scrapkit, but you can use any kit you want to.
Sophisticat Simone "Claire" at CDO
HERE
I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
Drop Shadow Setting:
V & H 2
Opacity 70
Blur 10
Color Black
Ok Lets Start
Open a New Image 800 X 800
Go to View Rulers and make sure your ruler is on or y ou can use the shortcut CTRL+ALT+R
Preset Shape Tool > Preset Shape > Choose one of the stamp Presets I used Preset SK Stamps 03
with the following settings
Anti-Alias checked Line Style Solid Line Width 3 ( you can play with this and make it as thin or thick as you wish)
Change your colors on your color palate Use colors from your tube. I used the following colors
Foreground #514135
Background #A67555
Draw Stamp starting at 50 / 150 and draw it out to 550/550
Object Align Center on Canvas.
Layer Convert to Raster Layer
Open your tube of choice, copy and go to your tag workspace and paste as a new layer.
If you used the same tube as I did then Resize 85%
Duplicate and move duplicate under the stamp frame
Add drop shadow with above settings to both tube layers.
Click on the stamp frame layer and using your magic wand with the settings:
Mode :Add Shift MatchMode RGB Tolerance 0 Contiguous checked Feather 0
Click inside the Stamp frame then Selection Expand 3 then Selection Invert
Click on the bottom tube layer that is under the frame and hit delete.
Select None
Move up to your top tube layer and using the eraser tool with the settings:
Square Size 150 Hardness 100 Step 1 Density 100 Thickness 100 Rotation 0 and Opacity 100
Your going to erase the bottom part of the tube that is overflowing onto the stamp frame.It doesn't matter if you get a bit of the fox because that is why we have the bottom tube layer :)
This is the easiest way that I know how to allow parts of the tube show over the frame or object underneath. See I wanted the foxes head and ears left above the frame.
Add a background paper from your scrapkit of choice and arrange send to bottom.
using magic wand again with same settings click inside the frame again and selection > modify > expand 3 and Selection Invert
Go back to your background layer and hit delete.
ok now this is where you add any elements from whichever scrapkit you are using. layer them aroiund your frame in whatever placement you wish and add a drop shadow with above settings to each element.
once you are done then merge > merge layers
Resize 70% and make sure the Resize all layers is checked.
Adjust > Brightness and Contrast > Clarify Setting 2
Add your copy write and name(s) to your tag and save a a png.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
I would love to see your results and you can email me

Fonts I used on my name was Oh January and you can get it by clicking on the font name.
Settings used on Name is Size 72 Stroke 1 Colors D8F729 and 15555A
Font used on my copy right is Pixelette and that is a pay to use font so I can not supply it but you can use any pixel font for your copy right. Size used 8 and color used 15555A I also added a slight Gradient Glow with EyeCandy 4000 colorC5F6DA settings Glow Width 3 Soft Corners 25 and Overall Opacity 100
I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.
Drop Shadow added to all layers unless I say not to.
Drop Shadow Setting:
V & H 2
Opacity 70
Blur 10
Color Black
Ok Lets Start
Open new image 800 x 800
Open Paper 8 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 90% and Resize 90% again.
Right click on the layer and choose New Mask Layer , From Image, Go to Source Window and choose Simone Mask #69, Right click on layer and click Merge Group.Double Click on this layer and the Layers Property Box Opens Rename this layer Background 1 and change Opacity to 75
Open Paper 2 , copy and paste as a new layer Resize this layer 90% and again Resize 90%, go to Image and mirror. Double click on this layer and Layer Property Box opens and rename this layer Background 2. Right Click on layer and choose New Mask Layer, From Image, Go to Source Window and choose Simone Mask #60. Now go to Arrange, Move Down and this mask layer should be below Background 1 layer.
Now we are going to build up the tag by using elements.
This is where you start adding Drop Shadow unless otherwise told not to.
Open Element 22 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 60% and add the drop shadow to it. Move it down to the bottom of the tag. See my position for placement.
Open Element 21 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 55% and add
the drop shadow to it. Move it down to the bottom of the tag and offset the previous element. See my
position for placement.
Right click on layer and Merge, Merge Down.
Open Element 103 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50%. Do NOT add a drop shadow to this element. Right click on layer and duplicate and on the duplicate layer go to Image, Mirror then Merge, Merge Down.
Open Element 84, copy and paste as a new layer, Do NOT add a drop shadow to this element. Arrange , Move Down and Arrange, Move down again. Right click and Duplicate layer, on duplicate layer Image, Mirror
Open Element 49 copy and paste as a new layer Do Not add Drop Shadow to this element
Open Element 12, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% Do NOT add drop shadow.
Open Element 17, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 75% Do NOT add a drop shadow. Arrange towards bottom at the edge of the rocks.
Open Element 23 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% , Add Drop Shadow and place on the left side of the tag.
Open Element 71 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 50% , Add Drop Shadow and place on the Right side of the tag.
Open Element 64 , copy and paste as a new layer. Resize 65% , Add Drop Shadow . Arrange, Move Down and position slightly to the right side of the tag.
Open Element 90 , copy and paste as a new layer , Add Drop Shadow and place slightly to the left behind the other plant
Open Element 3 , copy and paste as a new layer. Add Drop Shadow and place in the middle of the tag.
Open Element 91 , copy and paste as a new layer. Add Drop Shadow and Arrange, Move Down ( repeat the Arrange Move Down step 4 times)
Now some baubles, I used Elements 109,110,and 70 which are shells and resized them all 50% and added the Drop Shadow to them and place them where you want them.
I did not use any of the fish because I had Seahorses from Caron Vinson but if you do not use her tubes or do not have the Seahorses then by all means add some fish.
If you did use Caron Vinson's Seahorses then resize them by 65% and weave then into the layers where they look good. As you see I put them behind some plants and in front of others so I can still see them. Do add the drop shadow to them.
Caron has alot of mermaids and you can use any of them or any other tube, however if you use the same tube that I did then you need to Resize to your taste. I didnt resize much I think it was 75% or something like that.
Now your thinking this tag is hugeeee! Because we started at 800 x 800 but we are going to fix that.
First click on the eye for Raster 1 and make it invisible and then Merge all visible layers.
Resize Merged layers 80%. Reopen your Raster 1 layer by clicking the eye again and flood fill with white.
Now you can see the edges of the Mask's we used. We are going to fix that. Make sure your on your Merged layer and go to Eraser tool with the following settings:
Choose Round
Size 70
Hardness 50
Density 50
Now just click on the Merged Layer where you see the extra mask at the edges. It will take several times clicking as we dropped the settings so we don't erase parts of the tag. If you see you hit to close to your tag then, undo and proceed again. I am showing you before and after images of my tag, so you can see what it should look like at the end.
Before
After Mask is cleaned up
Now once you have your Mask background cleaned up.
Go to your Crop Button and use the following settings:
Width 685 height 661 pixels
Left 70 Top 77 Right 755 Bottom 738
Double click on your image and that will complete the crop.
Now you can delete Raster 1 which is the white background
Resize your Image 87% and make sure that all layers is checked this time.
Adjust Sharpness, Sharpen
Adjust Brightness & Contrast, Clarify with Strength of 2. This is the setting for this I like but you can play around with it if you wish.
Ok now add your copy right and then your name and save as a png file and you are done.
I hope you liked this tutorial. I try to do that step by step so you don't get lost.

Now if you don't have EC4000 you can just add a drop shadow to put a bit of color under your copy right. I used V&H 0 Opacity 70 Blur 5 color a3cfbd. doesn't look the same as eyecandy but it gives you a bit of color.

Intellectual Bad Ass
Intellectual BadAss
Shell's Template 03 PSD is HERE and PSP is HERE
Tube of Choice I used PinupToons which is a PTU Artist and you can get that at CDO HERE
2 fonts of choice for Copy write and name on tag
I am using pixelate for copy write and Predacon Beasts for Name on tag.
Mask_0030_DFly by Vivian by Vivian's Paintbox You can get that HERE and please visit the rest of her blog
Open template and Mask in your psp.
drop mask down you will need it later.
CTRL + D on template and close the original out to save.
Working on the template go to Image, Canvas and make your canvas size 700 x 700 with the middle box selected to center the template.
If you want to change parts of the template they are all on separate layers so you can do so if you want. I wrote this tutorial using the template as is.
Open up the tube you wish to use.
Copy and paste it on your template and resize as needed and place on the template move it to where you want it.. I moved mine so the Words We Prefer the term Intellectual BadAss could be seen.
Add drop shadow 2 2 50 8 to the tube.
Now I wrote this as a Old School Tutorial without scraps, however, you can add whatever you want to to this tag. If you are adding scrap items do it now with any drop shadows you wish on them.
Merge Visible and Name this layer Main
Make a new Raster layer
We are going to add a gradient flood fill to this layer.
I used the colors #ED1F20 foreground and #2A1EB3 background. Choose Foreground-background for the color choice under the gradient and then choose Linear with settings Angle 45 Repeats 2 and flood fill your new raster layer.
Go to Layers, New Mask Layer, From Image and choose Mask_0030_DFly from the dropdown menu and make sure the sorce luminance is choosen click ok.
Right click on your mask layer in your layer palette and choose Merge Group
Rename this layer background
You should now have 2 layers Main on top and Background under that
ok now hit Shift + S and this is the same as choosing Image resize and you are going to resize by 85% and make sure the All Layers box is checked.
Now highlight your Main layer and hit Shift + S again and resize 90% but this time make sure resize all layers is unchecked.
Now you can merge all layers and I always do this to make the tag clearer after I do a resize.
Go to Adjust, Sharpen, Unsharpen Mask and use the following settings
Radius 1 Strength 130 Clippings 0 and Luminance checked.
Back to Adjust , Brightness/Contrast , Clarify settings Strength & Effect 2 that is the setting I prefer but play around and see what one you like.
Add your copy write to the tag and merge all layers again.
now you can add Name and you are finished.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and if you have any questions or comments please email me at shell.wright@gmail.com

Scripting Tutorial
Scripting Tutorial
This will be a long Tutorial! It needs to be done in parts, so I don't mind if you need to print it out. Just do not claim as your own Please as I have put in ALOT of work on this tutorial.
This will be a long Tutorial! It needs to be done in parts, so I don't mind if you need to print it out. Just do not claim as your own Please as I have put in ALOT of work on this tutorial.
SUPPLIES
SETUP
First I am going to have you set up your folders. you need to do this before even unziping the script.
Go into Windows C Drive and make a Scripting folder there
SETUP
First I am going to have you set up your folders. you need to do this before even unziping the script.
Go into Windows C Drive and make a Scripting folder there
Then your going to go inside your Scripting Folder and make 2 more folders, you will end up with more folders then these two but you only need these two to start. 1st folder Blank Tags and 2nd folder Trusted Scripts
.
Ok now your going to unzip the File TJP-MakeTags and inside that zip you will have 2 files the TFP-MakeTags JascPSP Script is one and you will put this inside the new trusted scripts folder you made.
Ok now your going to unzip the File TJP-MakeTags and inside that zip you will have 2 files the TFP-MakeTags JascPSP Script is one and you will put this inside the new trusted scripts folder you made.
the second file is the TJP-MakeTagsTextforScript1 and is a text file. you will place this in the scripting folder but not inside your trusted scripts folder.
So at this point you should have
1 Main Folder in C:/Drive Called Scripting
2 Folders inside of Scripting Folder Called Blank Tags and Trusted Scripts
1 notepad text file called TJP-MakesTagsTextForScript1 inside Scripting Folder
1 TFP-MakeTags Jasc PSP Script file inside your Trusted Scripts folder.
Ok now we are going to make sure that your psp is pointed to the right folders to allow you to script.
Open your psp
Go to File down to Preferences and over to File Locations
Then under File types highlight Scripts-Trusted #1 On Screenshot
Then Look at your Trusted Script File Folder and make sure your C:\Scripting\TrustedScripts is there. I have circled mine.
#2 on the Screenshot If its not there then you will click the Add Button #3 on the Screenshot a popup box will appear and then just scroll to where the c:\scripting\trusted scripts are and highlight it and click OK. Now that it is there by either being there or you putting it there move down to Folder Options and make sure Enabled and Use sub folders are checked #4 on the screenshot.
Now #5 look at your Save to: and make sure its pointed to your C:\Scripting\TrustedScripts if it is not then click on the little arrow and choose that place.
#6 Once all that is done then hit ok and it should close that window out.
===================================================================
Ok now on to creating the tag you want to script. The one I am going to show you first is Non Animated tags.
Create your tag and decide what font you want for the name and any extra's you want added etc drop shadow or any formatting you want done to the name. I always do this so the recording will go faster and easier. After you are done putting your name on and formatting the extras, take that layer off so your tag doesn't have any name on it, you will see why later.
Ok once you have your tag created we are going to save your tag to the Blank Tag Folder in your Scripting folder. You will want to name it something easy. For instance I put the artist name first then the year and number of the tag. So for example the Elias tag I have in the screenshot is my 1st Elias tag of the year so I named it EliasChatzoudis201801 (Artistname+year+tagnumber) but name them however you want and just remember your going to want to make it easy to find.
Ok so go to file, save as and go to your Blank Tags in C:\Scripting and click on save. and save as a psp file. You have now saved your tag to your Blank tag folder. Leave your tag open in psp.
Now #5 look at your Save to: and make sure its pointed to your C:\Scripting\TrustedScripts if it is not then click on the little arrow and choose that place.
#6 Once all that is done then hit ok and it should close that window out.

Ok so go to file, save as and go to your Blank Tags in C:\Scripting and click on save. and save as a psp file. You have now saved your tag to your Blank tag folder. Leave your tag open in psp.
I want you to reconize the two buttons we will be using to record your actions on your tag. they are the donut looking button called Start Script Record and of course the disk looking button that is Save Script Recording
Ok Hit the Start Recording Button Choose your text tool and add your name as a vector and Apply. Do not worry about placement at this time. then Hit the Save Script Recording button and when your Save As box opens. type the name of your tag in there and make sure its saving to your Trusted Script file that you made in your C:\Drive . example mine is EliasChatzoudis201801
Hit the Start Recording Button again we are going to format your name. Move name at this time if you want it placed somewhere else on the tag and change the name layer to raster layer.Now add your drop shadows or anything else you want on the name at this point. I added eyecandy 4000 gradient glow then my drop shadow. ok now once you have added what you want for formating on the name hit the Save Script Recording and your Save As box will open again. It should already have the name you first saved in the box and your just going to add an a after the name already there so they will stay together in your Trusted Scripts folder.
Now close out your tag and when it asks if you want to save the changed to your tag you say no. you want it to revert back to where it has no name on it.
Ok now on to the Scripting.
You need to get familar with the buttons on the screenshot below, these are the buttons we are going to use to edit your script and then run it.
Ok now on to the Scripting.
You need to get familar with the buttons on the screenshot below, these are the buttons we are going to use to edit your script and then run it.
Go to your Scripting Folder in C:\Scripting and open your notepad TJP-MakeTagsTextForScript1
it will look like this screenshot inside
Click on the little triangle on the Select Script window and choose the name of the script you just made with the name of your tag on it.
.
Now we are going to click on the parchment with a feather looking button which is Edit Selected Script and then you will choose Text Editor
and when it is open it looks like below
Now we are going to click on the parchment with a feather looking button which is Edit Selected Script and then you will choose Text Editor
and when it is open it looks like below
leave open
Now open your TJP-MakeTagsTExtForScript1 Notepad and copy the whole two lines in that file.
Now open your TJP-MakeTagsTExtForScript1 Notepad and copy the whole two lines in that file.
Now go to the Artist notepad that you opened with the edit Selected Script button and Place your curser behind the }) above the #Text line
Push Enter once then paste the 2 lines that you copied from the TJP-MakeTagsTextForScript1 and your results should look like below
Then Scroll down Until you see 'Characters': and you will see the name that you put on your tag. in my case its u'Shell' but your going to highlight that and put in TagName spelled just like that. no ' ' but leave the , see screenshots below and now you can save this tag notepad and then close it out.
Now you will go to the triangle on the select scripts window and choose your TJP-MakeTags script then hit the Parchment with feather icon Edit Selected Scripts and you will change parts of this script. ONLY change where I show you to change.
Scroll down your script until you see Set global Variables
Create a New notepad document Call it Test and add 3 names to test your script
Save it to your C:\Scripting Folder and make a new folder inside your c:\Scripting folder called Test (ignore the rest of my files but see how I have both the folder and textfile in my main scripting folder
Now go back to your TJP-MakeTags-Notepad that you have open and are down to the Set global Variables and we are going to change our script but only where I say.
We will do them in order going down the scrip and we are only going to change 7 places.
The first place to change will be at the strListofNamesFile=r'C:\
Scripting\Test.txt you will put C:\Scripting\Test.txt inbetween the ' ' this is telling the script that you are going to use that text file in that location. It will not always say test.txt as you seen I have different text files in my scripting folder for different groups of people I want to make tags for, for instant one of mine is TaggersHaven so my text file could read TaggersHaven.txt it will always be a notepad.txt file that you have created and placed in your Scripting folder. It will also always follow the C:\Scriptng\ because that is the location. Screenshot after 4th Place
The 2nd place to change your script is the strTemplateFileName we are going to tell the script where to find our blank tag that we want to write on. So remember you need to write between the ' ' your going to put C:\Scripting\BlankTags\EliasChatzoudis201801.pspimage or whatever you named your blank tag, we are telling the script where to find the blank tag and what it is called. another important thing is the file type of the image. mine is always saved as pspimage when I am not doing animated tags. If you don't know what yours is saved at there is a quick way to look, go to your scripting folder and right click on your tag and choose properties and Type of File will show you what your extention should be.
3rd Place to change your script there are two places which you can use to name your tag once it completes, I always use the Suffix one because I always put the person I am naming a tag for first but then add my tag name and then my name, you can decide what you want or how you want to name your tags, I will show you how I do mine and just remember which ever one you use Prefix or Suffix you need to put it between the ' ' so as you see I use the strFileSuffix and between the ' ' I put -EliasChatzoudis201801-Shell because that is how I want my tag named. (NameofPersonMakingtagfor-TagName-MyName and if you want the dashes in you have to put them in because it will look exactly like you have it there.
4th Place to change is the strTagScriptFile1 you need to put your 1st script name where you placed your name on the tag. do not include the c:\Scripting because you do not need the path for this script file. you WILL still have to put it between the ' ' so mine is EliasChatzoudis201801 because that is what I named my 1st script where I put the name on the blank tag.
5th Place to change is the strTagScriptFile2 this is the script you made where you formatted the name. So no path needed you will just put between the ' ' yourscriptname+a so mine is EliasChatzoudis201801a because that is the script I made where I formatted the name, ie dropshadow or whatever you wanted to do to the name.
6th Place to change is the intFileSaveType as you can see there are 4 choices but your normally going to use 1 for saving as a jpg or 4 which is for saving as a png. In this instant I am using 4 because I want to save as a png file.
No ' ' needed on this one
7th Change is the strSaveDir you will also put this between the ' ' and this is where we are telling the script to save our finished tags to. for instance we made a folder named Test in the Main Scripting folder and that is where we are going to save our test tags to. You will have different folders where you want to save tags to in your Scripting Folder so this will change when you have different folders. For right now you will have C:\Scripting\Test because that is where we are putting the finished tags.
Now you go to file save and close this notepad file that you have been working on.
Now we are going to run the script. Go back up to the Script toolbar and make sure your TJP-MakeTags is there and push the button next to it called Run Selected Script
You should be running your 1st tag script now without errors
if your script ran without error then go look in your test Folder in the main Scripting folder and your tags should be in there.
If you have errors go back and open your edit TJP-MakeTags script again and go over where you have to change the script and make sure it is right. if you still can't figure it out you can email me @ shell.wright@gmail.com and let me know what your error is and I will see if I can help you :)
I know this is a longgggg Tutorial but I hope it helped you and your finally scripting your tags now.
