translator’s note
«Chez Douceur »  works with PSP X, I use PSP2018 to create my tag and write my translations
but this tutorial can be realized with any other version of PSP
according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly differents
don’t hesitate to change blend modes of layers matching your tubes and colors
tips
**TIP 1 ******* from PSP X4 to recent version, the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by ---->...
mirror -> mirror horizontal
flip -> mirror vertical
**TIP 2 ******* if you want to use a font without having to install it, open it with a font software (Nexus Font, or other...)
and minimize it to tray keeping the software opened
as long as you don’t close both windows (software and font) the font will be available into PSP Text tool
