Marja-Aviora

Aviora

you wil find the orignal tutorial here

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Marja works with PSP12
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 Marja’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

Hints and Tips

open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
