You will find the original tutorial here :

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
To share them in groups,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Christ’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation,
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can

Christ worked with PSP X2 and I worked with PSP2020
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different

Supplies
tubes  – image – palette - font - selections - preset

place the selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP general folder
double click on the preset and it will be installed automatically

Hints and Tips
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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 »has become  --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » has become  --> image => mirror => mirror vertical

Plugins needed
Alien Skin / Eye Candy 5 - impact / Glass

prepare your work
duplicate all the tubes and work with the copies to preserve originals
save your work often in case of problems with your psp
don’t forget to erase the tuber’s watermark
use the Dropper tool to pick up your colors into your tubes and misted images
Christ chose these :

prepare colors 1 and 2 as FG and BG colors into the materials palette
