This tutorial is a personal creation.
Marja works with PSP12
I work with PSP20 Ultimate

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 Marja’s work and the tubers work.

And I’ll fix the problem as soon as I can
