Material
you will not find main tubes into the Zip
only decorations, masks, selections.....
following the theft of tubes in the material provided, the main tubes are not provided anymore
thank you to the tubers for their great work
open the tubes, duplicate and work with the copies
open the mask and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections - gradients into the dedicated folders of Corel PSP 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

translator’s note
« Chez Douceur » works with PSP X, I use PSP2019 to create my personal tags and write my translations
but this tutorial can be realized with another version
according to the version of PSP you use, the results might be slightly differents
don’t hesitate to change the blend modes of the layers to match your tubes and colors
colors
color 1 --> foreground color --> FG --> left click --> #a1c6d3 (light blue)
color 2 --> background color --> BG --> right click --> #000000 (black)
Use the pencil to follow the steps
hold down left click to grab it and move it
