Supplies
mask - selections - tubes - gradient

main tube is not provided - the one Chez Douceur chose was created by Corinne Vicaire
you will have to use tubes from your personal folders
following the theft of tubes, « Chez Douceur » only provides decorations, masks, gradients, selections......
thank you to the tubers for their great work
open the tubes, duplicate and work with the copies
open the mask(s) and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections and the gradient  into the dedicated folders of Corel PSP general Folder
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
