Author Old "watercolor" script?
Senior47

2007-05-18, 6:22 pm

About one year ago (?) I found a script "watercolour" script in this
newsgroup. Sadly I don't know the name of the author or the script, and I
can't even give a decent description.

The script made 5 layers, "Levels Adj Lightens Original", "Sketch Layer",
Curves Adj For Yellowing", "H/S/L Adj Raises Saturation" and "Copy Merged
and USM"

I've used this script a lot, as a base for further work.

You'll find an image here ( www.hovlandsdal.com/Image2b.zip ) which shows
the layers and maybe someone recognize it
from this?

I had to upgrade my pc some weeks ago and unfortunately I forgot to take a
backup of my script collection! (There is always one folder left out. next
time though. )

Can anyone help me out with this one?

Thanks to both of you!

Joske: VintagePostcard was the script I missed, don't know why I didn't
remember that name!
Now it's in my backupfolder - forever I hope!-)

Joëlle: Your script seems to be for Paint Shop Pro X, I'm still on PSP9!-)
Error:
File "xxxx\PSP9\Scripts-Trusted\BPtry5.PspScript", line1, in ?
from PSPApp import*
ImportError: No module named PSPApp

Again, thanks for your help - a quick reply!

Joelle's script just needs a minor edit. After selecting the script
in the Scripts toolbar click on the Edit Selected Script button, and
it should open in the Text editor. If it only opens in the Script
Editor click the Text Editor button to open it in the Text editor.

The replace the lines at the top with the following:

from JascApp import *

def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'',
'Copyright': u'',
'Description': u'',
'Host': u'',
'Host Version': u''
}


The script will then run in PSP9. However, the Script Output Palette
will show it completing with an error, because the final command in
the script calls the High Pass Sharpen filter which is part of PSPX
but not PSP9. However, you can replace this with your own sharpen or
Unsharp Mask command, or just sharpen afterwards with Unsharp Mask, or
just not worry about it. The resultant image looks pretty good as
completed.

Open the script in Notepad and look what is says. Usually it
says something. Here's an example:

def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'Spandex Rutabaga',
'Copyright': u'Spandex Rutabaga',
'Description': u'Fake old postcard - based on input from
Nightin'\
u'gail',
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro 9',
'Host Version': u'9.01'
}

Heh, heh! It's the very script from which I quoted above :)

Hehe!-) If I had the script I think I could have found that info, now I
only had an images with all the layers intact. Luckily I got it back from
Joske now!



Thank you for your wonderful script, I've been using it in all kind of
images, just running the script and using part of it - depending of what
part of the script I want. Than a bit more work just to get me what I'm
looking for.



Do you have other scripts too? Maybe a website to showing the results?

Thank you anyway!-)

Thanks JoeB, but the script still doesn't run, same error - ending with
ImportError: No module named PSPApp.
Removing the first line "from PSPApp import *" and the script stops
(naturally) at line 14 with error: NameError: global name 'App' is not
defined..

Svein, if you replaced all of the first 10 lines in the script with the
stuff I posted you wouldn't have a line saying from PSPApp import *.
That line would say from JascApp import *. Did you replace everything,
or did you leave out that line? Here is all of the replacement code
again:


from JascApp import *

def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'',
'Copyright': u'',
'Description': u'',
'Host': u'',
'Host Version': u''
}

If you create a script in v.X or XI that you want to run in v.8 and v.9,
just replace PSP in PSPApp in the first line, and remove the 10.03 the
Host Version line (line 10 in your script). You don't have to worry
about the version numbers that appear in the last line of various
commands throughout the script. Keep in mind that if the script
contains commands or calls tools that are unique to v.X or XI and not
available in v.8 or 9 then of course the script won't be able to execute
them in 8 and 9. Your script runs to the end fine because High Pass
Sharpen is the last command and all of the previous ones are available
in v.8 and 9, just not HPS.

PS to my post about tweaking the script for v.8 and 9: When removing the
10.03 from the Host Version line, do not remove the single quotes on either
side of it.

Sorry, my mistake!-/
Didn't spot the difference in the first line and just replace the rest!
Silly!
Now it works nice, thank you!
