open the tubes, duplicate and work with the copies
open the mask(s) and minimize to tray
place selections, gradients, textures, patterns... etc... into the appropriate folders or My Corel PSP general folder
double click on presets to install (or import)
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
