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 Animabelle’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

Animabelle worked with PSP2020 and I worked with PSP2020 Ultimate
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different

Supplies
tube - gradient - masks

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Plugins needed
Unlimited 2 / Sybia
MuRa's Seamless
AP [Lines]
Graphics Plus
Thank you Renée Salon for sharing your plugins page

1
duplicate the tube and work with the copy to preserve original
save your work often in case of problems with your psp
open the masks and minimize to tray
place the gradient into the dedicated folder of PSP general folder

2
use the Dropper tool to pick up your colors into your tubes and misted images
Animabelle chose these :
color 1 => #ffffff (white)
color 2 => #9a8fba
color 3 => # b17f9a
color 4 => ##509fbb
color 5 => #2e2842

don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes
