This is Version 1.0 and I already have some great ideas for further improvements, with your support I would really like to develop this further with a Version 2.0 that I hope will also incorporate bridges. 
Хобби
Just bought my copy today, this is really an amazing thing you've created. So happy to support this!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm really glad to hear you like it and I am working on some upgrades to make it even better!
Would be immediately interested if made stand alone. Not a Photoshop user at all. THUMBS UP TO SHOW HIM HE SHOULD PURSUE THIS.
YES!!! That would be the ultimate goal! I think the best way is to continue developing it within photoshop for a while as there are still more improvements to be made. Hopefully by the time it's almost perfect there will be a larger following and enough support to move away from photoshop.
@@WickedPaint I'll be waiting as I'm an Affinity user and this tool would be perfect for some of my projects.
@@WickedPaintplease speed up development on bridges😊
@staycompassionate3811 Absolutely but it will take a little while, even to get the plugin to this point cost a few thousand bucks so with the size of the channel at the moment it will take a little while before I can afford to hire a programmer again but it will definitely happen. The good news is the response so far has been amazing so it will happen sooner then I was planning before.
In the meantime, I will be making a video or two showing you guys how to create your own bridges and working on some test code in the background to figure out how it will all work.
Great job! Inkscape user here, and would definitely I would buy this.
Bought the plugin today. Can't wait to get home and start playing with it to see what it can do. Also looking forward to seeing future tutorials that go into more detail on getting the best results from your plugin. Cheers
That's great! Thank you! I will be putting up a video over this weekend that will be a walk through of the whole process.
Hery there curious how the plugin is?
This is so cool! Great Stencils excellent Artwork!
Thanks so much 😊
Looks good can't wait to download and try it!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much! I’ll be trying out stencil art soon and this is will be so helpful.
Fantastic! If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message as I always enjoy helping beginners get the best results!
Just bought it! looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for making this and sharing it
No problem, glad to hear you like it. If you run into any trouble feel free to contact me for some help.
Thank you !! This is awesome !! Now I can truly get started creating!!
Enjoy, a couple of others have mentioned the coupon code Adobe gave me doesn't work so give me a day or so to get that sorted.
@@WickedPaint va bene per photoshop versione 22.0.1?
This is AWESOME. Congrats on getting your plug-in. I went a different route with some of my customs stuff, and I started using the cut and print on the cricut machine to make vinyl stickers. I like the layered stencils method, though i really gotta find the time to learn it
Thanks mate! Was a huge accomplishment and took a lot of time over the past month or so. Your last couple of builds were awesome and popped up in my youtube feed. The one with the screen in the front was awesome!! I think the route your going with the custom stuff makes alot more sense with the print and cut---its almost like vinyl wrapping cars but on pc's!
Incredible, great work fella
Thank you! Cheers!
thank you thank you ! I am starting out my clothing brand and God knows this is exactly what I needed after having bought my criccut. Thank you for your work have a nice day
Oh that is such a good idea! I always wanted to try a layered vynil portrait on a shirt. It would look so good and you'll be the first to do it!
I need this, now!
Awesome! I'll buy it!
When it does bridges I'll be a customer for sure.
This is amazing!! I'm getting my cricut in Thursday so I'm really excited to start making stencils!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this tutorial 🙏🏽
Wow! Your getting right into it. It's a fantastic tool for creative projects, and I'm sure you'll have a blast. If you need any help or have any questions then just message me, I am always happy to help out beginners so they get the best results!
@@WickedPaint There's much to learn so I truly appreciate that!!
@@WickedPaint one quick question, what sort of (I'll just call it paper) do you use to cut your stencils out of?? I'm sure there's many brands and thickness etc but what have you found that works well?? I like the ideas of something with a tacky backing.
@fabianmuratore I really like using a 220gsm thick card, it cuts really well on the cricut and lasts long enough the get a few paintings. You can also recycle the waist. If you want a tacky backing just use a bit of spray adhesive.
@@WickedPaint You're awesome man, thanks for quick responses and guidance, that means a lot. I'll give that a try once everything is set up and in place. I'll definitely be getting that script soon for Photoshop and look forward to playing around with it.
I am a stencil painter who really doesn't know anything about PS. I saw this and immediately repurchased, joined your channel and downloaded the plug in. I uploaded my next photo and 20 minutes later I had a workable, 4-layer, stencil. THIS IS AMAZING. I slept on it and decided that I wanted to emphasize a part of the photo, and crop out other parts, remove the background and remake the stencil. I did this. Unfortunately, when Wicked made the stencil, the image (which is like 30% more narrow) was cut off on the top and the bottom. Can Carlos or anyone else tell me how to fix this issue? Your advice is much appreciated.
So rad.
What about the automatic bridge features???
So once Wicked makes the stencil layers, how do you convert them to vector files to send to a cut out machine? Is it an easy process? Does it involve illustrator at all or only photoshop??
I use a Cricut to cut most of my stencils so I export them as a PNG files which work great on the cricut. I will be making a video soon using a laser cutter and will show everyone how to convert the PNG files into SVG which is more suitable for lightburn software.
Great plug in you did. Have you tried to use this plug in with older Photoshop versions like CS5 or CS6? I would buy it if it works also with these Photoshop versions.
Thanks, unfortunately it will not work with older versions of Photoshop as to get the preview window working we had to use a new form of coding language that was introduced in the last couple of versions of photoshop.
I think the script I used prior to the plugin might work though- take a look at my video of painting harry styles. That was the first version that snowballed into this plugin which will hopefully snowball into something even better in the future. Let me see if I can find a copy of CS6 to test it on and get back to you.
I also have a very old version (CS5), I would love to use this plugin or similar but upgrading photoshop is a little out of my price range right now.@@WickedPaint
This is sick. One question though, I guess you still have to check the layers and manually add bridges for pieces that might be alone and not connected with other parts of the same color which otherwise will fall off when you cut the masks.
I saw another comment saying how it would be great in the future to go a step further and leave photoshop to make your OWN software. Hope this works out one day and you can focus on more details and features like the one I just mentioned🙏
Yes that is right, right now you have to add bridges manually but my programmer has figured out how to add automatic bridges which we hope to add soon.
Especially with all the controversy around adobe these days it is something I have thought about alot and will be looking into the possibility to do that.
@@WickedPaint Well hope everything goes well I think that your idea and work will stand out more even in the form of a simple app with basic features . Thanks for the reply
thanks for the plugin, it's very intuitive. Only one question: when the release with che function that create automatically the bridge is avaiable?
Glad you like it and we are working on it right now. I haven't set a date for release but we are making good progress on it.
Take my money! :)
Amazing!
Thank you, Hope you enjoy it!
amazing
Thank you!
that's awesome
hola buenas tardes desde españa, tengo una pregunta se podria aplicar al corte laser para crear cuadros multicapas automaticamente, tambien seria interesante el que pudiera crear un contorno cuadrado (marco para colgar) para las imagenes para poder crear marcos rectangulares unidos a las imagenes.
Just bought your software ! Well done. Hey what machine do you use to cut your stencils ?
Amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
hey, I have a question whether the plugin will work on photoshop version 19.1.5
Discovered this video by accident. Just purchased the plug in and cannot WAIT to start making stencils. Currently looking at a Cricut to use as well as I just think making them by hand will be SO much harder overall! Is there a video about best way to cut them out by hand at all before the Cricut arrives? Already ordered a skateboard deck to test as well.
That's awesome! Welcome to the hobby of stencil art! Having a cricut is a huge time saver but cutting by hand just takes a bit more patience. I don't have any videos on cutting by hand yet but all you need is some nice sharp blades and a good cutting matt.
I love your stencil content. I downloaded the plugin. Great detail but can you adjust it to handle separation of color better
Thanks glad you enjoy the content. Usually with colours like skin tones or tshirts I would separate those areas before running the stencil Plugin so I can control those areas individually. I will have to make a few more advanced videos for artists such as yourself to explain this process a bit better.
Just bought the plugin and love it. Is there a way to change/edit the colors of each layer once you click "OK" and run the plugin? Thanks!
Hi, glad to hear you like the plugin and enjoy using it. Yes you can change colors of each layer before you click ok-just click on the little square that has the different grey square next to the number for each layer and select the color you want!
Does it support other software than PS as well?
Consulta. El plug-in saca los puentes de forma automática? Poque por lo que veo, parece que si.
No not yet. But I am working on the next version at the moment which will have a solution for bridges.
Can I use this plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Elements?? The link only takes me to creative cloud adobe
Looks great - I am intrigued but wish I could try it out before buying it. It looks like exactly what I do step by step so I'm not sure if it will speed things up for me or not. Most of the time I spend making stencils is spent doing cleanup and making sure the lines are clean, and I think I'd still have to do that after your plugin makes the layers. Also, just out of curiosity - What are you using for paper for your stencils? Is that just regular posterboard or cardstock?
You are right, it still takes a bit of time to clean up and add the bridges but you get alot more control over how much detail you add to the stencil. You can also experiment with the number of layers really quickly without duplicating the image a bunch of times. If your not happy with it Adobe will always give you a refund. Personally I prefer to use posterboard for my stencils as I can always recycle the waste.
Hello I recently purchased the plug in, I am wondering I notice in the video each layer has support areas that are painted over after each layer, do you manually add these into the layers? Figured it out, watched your video from 2yrs back and you said something about bridging
Hi thanks for purchasing the plugin for now the bridges have to be added manually but I am working on an update that will do it automatically. I am planning to make a video teaching everyone about bridges too.
Want to get the plug-in and photoshop but I’m a bit confused which photoshop package I need . Which one should I buy for mainly for creating stencils?
If you go to the Adobe website just get the normal version. You can even get the free trial to test it all out before you start paying for it.
Ciao, bellissimo il tuo lavoro, ti ho appena scoperto, in quanto cercavo un metodo per realizzare stencil a multi livelli. vorrei chiederti una cosa, il tuo plugin va bene per la versione ps 22.0.1 ?
Advice for smoothing and simplifying lines? Best just to take that into illustrator for that?
You can adjust the detail slider in the plugin that will smoothen the lines and capture as much or little detail you want.
how are you cutting out the stencils can your transfers those into Lightburn?
I am exporting the files as png and cutting them on a cricut. I have had a few people asking about lightburn, I think I will give it a try.
I buy it thank you, when the version 2 will be available please ?
Thanks for supporting this plugin, I am working in the next version but it will still be a couple of months before we release the next version.
What stencil machine do you recommend if I am just starting ? Thank you
If your just starting I would recommend cutting one by hand to see if you like and enjoy stencil art. If you do then a Cricut is great to start with and you will really appreciate it after cutting by hand too.
Thanks a lot, can save me loads of time! In your video, in the animation (5:30), the islands are bridged in the layers. Now I bought this fantastic plugin, but somehow I don't get those bridges. Did I miss something?
Sorry, I didn't read the comments before... Bridging was 'THE" reason I bought it for. Anyway, it's a great tool, thanks for your work. Just hope you can hire that programmer very soon ;)
Sorry about that, certainly mean to trick anyone. I do have a programmer working on it now and we are getting pretty close. If your not happy with it then you are welcome to a refund. Otherwise thank you so much for supporting this awesome project!
@@WickedPaint No worries, I'm glad to support this project !
Very cool, can you make the overall size of the stencil bigger? A0 for example. Or can you split your design into regions and then piece it together?
Yes of course, after you prepare your stencils in photoshop then you can scale up or down to the size you want to paint your stencils. For A0 size I would scale it up in photoshop first though just to check if there are areas I might want to add a few bridges to make it hold together better.
@@WickedPaint That's great news thanks for the reply!!
What an amazing plugin! Will this work on Affinity Photo?
No I don't think so. It is made to work with photoshop.
Will this work for older versions of ps , like 2018. Ver 19.0
No sorry this will only work with newer versions of Photoshop due to the coding in the Plugin that takes advantage of some new features only recently implemented by Adobe.
Great job,u just earned a follower i love the content,cheers
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Hello Wicked. I just bought this plugin but I am wondering a few things after I tried it out. I can't make or see the animation you show and my stencils are not accurate as they fill shapes in lower stencils that are not useful or it gets some islands with no bridges to it. Do I have the updated version of the plugin? Thank you in advance!
Hello, thanks for your purchase and supporting this awesome plugin. It does not create bridges...yet but that will be added in future updates. (This is the first version that we have released). If you look at the way I create my stencil art ( watch painting part of video) I prefer to fill in my under layers so there are no gaps when you paint the upper layers. If you are not happy with the way it performs then feel free to message me at wickedpaintairbrush@gmail.com and I do my best to come up with a resolution to the issue.
thank you so much for the fast response. I am ancious for the next version, if you can somehow detect islands and make bridges it would be a HUGE plus! Also, I don't know if possible, but perhaps an option to ignore small lines up to 3 pxs, for example. Thank you again for your amazing work and videos! You're awesome!
@@WickedPaint
Hi, i saw your vídeo, 5 minutes later i was buying Photoshop and plugin 😅.
Can i use this stencil on silhouette studio?
Wow that was quick, thank you for the support and with your help the plugin will get even better. If you have any questions then feel free to get in touch. Yes you can use these stencils to cut on the Silhouette too.
Wicked just purchased this haven't had time to get it going. So the plugin makes the canals too?
Sorry I meant to say bridges
Thanks for purchasing the plugin and hope it helps you create some awesome artwork, this is the first version so it does not create bridges...yet. I definitely have plans to add that as a feature and have a couple of ideas on how to achieve it. It was a lot of work to get it this far so we decided to release this as version 1 and will add more features in future updates. If you have any feedback after trying it out then feel free to message me and I will try to include that in future updates.
I’m having some issues matching the color
The plugin recognizes automatically the colors of a colorful image?
No this one works better for portraits or images with similar colours. I am creating another version that will be based on colour and will work really well for cartoon images.
Does the plugin also run on Photoshop Elements 24?
Sorry I have not tested it with photoshop elements so I am not sure if it will work.
If we join your channel, how long until we get the discount code for the plug-in??
The discount code has been posted on the community message board so you will see it as soon as you join.
Hey bought the plug-in but my stencils don’t come with the lines that keep it in place after it’s cut
Hey they should definitely be there, try switching them to black and adjusting their position. If that doesn't work then you can send me a copy of your image and I'll be happy to take a look for you
And another question: can I buy the plugin with a different account from the one I have Photoshop registered to?
I am not sure about that, probably best to have a linked account so you don't run into any issues when it installs itself.
Got some new gear. Can I transfer my plugin program to a new laptop? I’m willing to buy it again. Not sure how actually I’m not good with tech. Any ideas? TY so much for all you do!
Awesome! If you transfer your photoshop license over to the new laptop then the plugin should come with it. If you have any issues then let me know.
TY TY TY
@@WickedPaint
Actually it’s a tablet and I downloaded the PS app, I’ll check it out and see if it came w/a license lol. IDK@@WickedPaint
just bought the plugin... but creative cloud says "not compatible" and doesnt allow me to download it. how do i get the plugin? i want to install it manually. (I have Photoshop Version 24.4.1 on Windows 11)
Does anyone know if this plugin works in Photoshop Elements?
No it has not been tested with Photoshop elements so I don't think it will but your welcome to try.
I was going to buy the plugin but its not compatiable with photoshop 23 its only compatiable with photoshop 24+ :(
I am will buy it, But before can you show the full process of sending it to a cricket or other cutting machine.
Yeah that will be my next video, showing the whole process of bringing in an image, creating layers and cleaning them up before exporting for cutting on a cricut.
Can you send me a code for the the plug in- can't hurt to ask@@WickedPaint
Hey I need a little help with the plugin. I purchased it and it says not compatible am I missing something?
Hey sorry to hear that, could you send me an email with the error and version of photoshop your using? My email is wickedpaintairbrush@gmail.com
I've just got a membership and downloaded the plugin from google drive and installed it it it says the plugin is expired. How would I fix it?
If you have the membership then you can see the discount code under community comments section, use that code on the Adobe store to download a copy for free.
solved! Thank you@@WickedPaint
HI i bought the plugin but i don't see how i can donwload it
pleaseeee help
Hi, it should download automatically and install itself under the plugin tab. Maybe close photoshop and re-open it.
do you know if it works in GIMP
No this plugin will not work with GIMP, but there is a plugin called GMIC for GIMP that you can try
Will this plug-in work in Affinity Photo?
This plugin only works with Photoshop and has not been tested with Affinity Photo, sorry.
How do we join your membership
Will it work in Affinity Photo?
No sorry it only works with photoshop at the moment
Does this plugin work with Affinity Photo too?
No sorry it only works with photoshop at the moment
Ok, thanks for the fast reply though@@WickedPaint Would definitely buy the plugin if it worked in Affinity Photo.
What is the best way to buy the plugin (the way that will give the author the biggest cut)? I don't like giving Adobe more money :/
Adobe only take a 2-3% of sales on creative cloud so it's a great way to support the author and encourage us to make our plugins even better.
Can I do halftones as well ?
No this plugin does not do halftone stencils. I have a different method for doing that.
Thank you for your response, I’ve been practicing I would like to learn more about it …
Hi, the link in your bio does not work anymore . can you please re share the link again. Thanks :)
Thanks for letting me know, I updated the link.
which photo shop do you use
I am using version 25.9 at the moment
@@WickedPaint how do i download it i bought for the plugin but don't have the right photoshop I'm currently using affinity photo 2
How can I become a member ?! ❤❤
hello if i becme a member will I still get to download the plugin for free ? and can I download it only on one account ?
if i become a member for one month will I be able to access the steincils only for one month ?
Yes you will get it for free using the discount code and only on one account.
does it work with 2020 photoshop anyone?
Does this plug in work with gimp?
Sorry it only works with Photoshop right now. You could try the Gmic plugin for gimp and that will give you a similar result but not the same as this.
Thanks 👍
The link in the bio does not work

The best Multi Layer Stencil Software EVER!!! ------ when you want to sell your own software
Hello, greetings, excuse me if I become a member of the channel by what means would I get the plugin? Thank you in advance.
Hello, yes you can get it by becoming a member of the channel or you can buy it from the Adobe cloud...up to you.
@@WickedPaint If I have the Photoshop 2022 version, will it work for me? :c
@rayomcqueen98 yes it will work in photoshop 2022
yeeii Which platform benefits you the most from what I bought it on? To support you directly 😊
Thanks for your support, it is very much appreciated! You can purchase it through Adobe cloud and that would be the best way. I am using most of the funds to develop it further and make it even better for everyone.
I would prefer to buy it directly from you, please make that happen, not on photoshop
Very nice! Congratulations on the release. I have one question though and I assume it will be asked by many others too.
What about islands/bridges? I'd imagine that all still has to be done manually?
Great question and right now you still have to do the bridges manually.
I ran out of funds to get to that point as programmers are really expensive but hopefully, if this is successful I can do an update this time next year with a bridge function.
@@WickedPaint perfect dude. Much appreciated for the speedy reply man! Keep up the good work
Just got the plugin and it’s great. I really REALLY would like the island/bridge function. I’d pay much more than $20 for a version that does that automatically. Maybe you should do a video on bridges. I have complex digital images I want to stencil out getting the bridges right is the most frustrating thing. Thanks again for the plug-in!
Fantastic!! So glad to hear you like the plugin and with this sort of response I might have to get started on Version 2 sooner than I thought. I have a couple of ideas on how to do it but have to do a lot of testing before I ask a programmer to integrate it as they charge $$$$ per hour.
I will definitely be making a few videos on bridging in the meantime. @@jodiefostermatrix5995
That's great! Looking forward to it. Thank you!@@WickedPaint
Id buy it but i refuse to pay adobes bs subscription
Yeah fair enough, I refused for years too😉🤫 But these days the artwork I sell pays for the subscription
@@WickedPaint if you can make it work with procreate or Clip studio let me know.
Please stop saying guys
Yeah I do have a habit of saying that especially in this video. Will edit it out next time
i dont think $20 is steep. if its useful to people it will be worth way more then that.
wish gimp had this
You can get a plugin for Gimp called Gmic which has a tool in that that almost does something like this. I did try to contact them to try to develop this for their software but they where not really that interested.
big fan of your stuff know what the tool is called??
@@WickedPaint
If you go down to layers in gmic and then go to colour by layer it will separate each colour to a layer. It is the closest thing to this but if you don't align all your layers correctly then there is a small gap in between them. The plugin I developed is a bit different as its based on the threshold which is the tool most use to create their stencils.
have a facebook page?
