Material
mask - texture - tubes

thank you to the tubers for their great work
open tubes, duplicate them and work with the copies
open the mask and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP Folder
copy / paste the texture into the folder « texture» of 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
to prevent the theft of tubes, they are no longer provided in the ZIP material
the only material provided is : decorations, masks and selections
you will have to use your personal collection
