Thank you Marja for choosing one of my tubes.
This tutorial is a personal creation.
Marja works with PSP12
I work with PSP20 Ultimate

however, the results might be different using another version of PSP

Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify images, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
