you wil find the orignal tutorial here

 

 This tutorial is a personal creation. 

Laurette works with PSP20

I work with PSP20 Ultimate

 but you can follow this tutorial with any other 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,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Laurette’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation
And I’ll fix the problem as soon as I can

Supplies
you can download the supplies on Laurette’s original tutorial (click on the blue square with the word « MATERIEL »)
or HERE
Place the supplies and selections into the dedicated folders of « Corel PSP » general folder
open the mask and minimize to tray

save your work often in case of problems with your psp
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes

Hints and Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
