Saturday Scripts


Expand your PSP power with customized scripts. Do you enjoy animation? Scripts can help you create smooth animations quickly and accurately. Into photography? Scripts give you the power to speed image processing. Want to display graphics or photos on your website? Use a script to create an image display page for any images that you select. Scripts combine the power of PSP tools with the flexibility of the Python scripting language. Scripting allows you to create customized PSP tools that meet your specific needs.

Scripting is powerful, but it takes knowledge and practice to reap the rewards. Even though my background in computer programming helped me with some of the aspects of scripting, I have spent countless hours in the learning process. And I'm still learning more. I've worked on a structured way to share the knowledge that I've gained with you. Hopefully, it will make your learning easier and faster. Assignments will give you opportunities to practice what you've learned - a very important part of this process.

I've really enjoyed my first blogging days. A big THANK YOU to Tricia, who took my site graphics and setup this blog for me. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and commented. Now I'm feeling like a kid at Christmastime. I can hardly wait to see what you think of Lesson 1.

Lesson 1 will be answering the question, "What is a Script?" Just click to check it out.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for Sunday Starters. Creative fun and games for kids and the young at heart!

  1. Hi, my name is Tricia and I'm interested in these scripting classes because I've been fascinated by the scripts I've seen you write at thePlace and I think it would be fun to learn how to do that.

    I've been using PSP for a couple years now and before that I used Photoshop, just not for graphics or scripting and the like. So far all I've really scripted are tuts I've recorded, although I have added get materials stops to a couple of scripts. Oh yeah, and I've replaced missing steps since that turned out to be easier that rerecording the whole script.

    I learned HTML several years ago now, the hard way, on a free yahoo website. I now host on go daddy, and I've coded my entire site by hand in compliant xhtml 1.0 & css2.

    What else would I like to share about me. I'm a single mom, of one fantastic little girl. I just started a 10 week dental assisting program and enjoying it. I have a dog and 3 cats besides the munchkin, to keep life fun and interesting. My blog started on blogger, moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog, and now I host on a blogengine.net blog on my go daddy account. American Idol and House are two of my favorite tv shows, and I think that's about it. I look forward to the next section.

  5. Since approximately 2000.

    I have limited experience with scripts. I have written a couple of my own, and have used a couple written by talented others. I have windows XP, and mainly used PSP X.

    I have very little experience with HTML, i would classify myself as a beginner, less if possible.

    I tbe, have learned tut writing, and am making digital scraps. I love my PSP, it's may main hobby. I also love photography, using many of my photos for my creations.

    The first lesson was well presented, and I have no questions right now. I would really like to learn Scripting to make some routine tasks in PSP easier.

    Thanks so much doing this for us, looking forward to further lessons.

    I've been using PSP for about 4 years.

    I've written a few basic beginner scripts.

    I've run a lot of scripts.

    I taught myself basic HTML years ago and set up my own multi-page website at Geocities.

    Looking forward to learning more! : )
