Cloclo-Beloved mother

Beloved mother

You will find the original tutorial here :

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
To share them in groups,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Cloclo’s work and the tubers work.

Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation,
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can

Supplies
you can download the supplies on Cloclo’s original tutorial (named « Matériel »)
or HERE 

Place the supplies and selections into the dedicated folders of « Corel PSP » general folder
double click on the preset (if any) to install
open the mask(s) and minimze to tray
you will find an alpha layer containing all the selectios needed saved on the alpha channel
Cloclo provides selections you can save on your « selections » folder of PSP general folder
in case you have problems with the alpha channel’s selections

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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 » --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
