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 works with PSPX9 and I work with PSP 2019
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different

Material
mask - tube - selections - gradient

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Realization

1
duplicate all the tubes and work with the copies to preserve originals
save your work often in case of problems with your psp

2
use the Dropper tool to pick up your colors into your tubes and misted images
Animabelle chose these :
color 1 => #f4fef8
color 2 => #a2c9c7
color 3 => #7097aa
color 4 => #5b2f30
color 5 => #27222f

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

3
place the gradient into the folder « gradients » of Corel PSP general folder

open a new transparent image 800 * 500 px
flood fill with the gradient
