Tips and Hints
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 the software’s window is opened, 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

translator’s note
I used PSP2020 Ultimate to create my tag and write my translation
but this tutorial can be realized with another version
according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly different
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your tubes and colors
