:

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 Sass for testing Cloclo’s
tutorials

Thank you to respect Cloclo’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


Material
tubes - mask - alpha layer - misted image - selections & decorations
- gifs - palette
all tubes provided are licence free

Translator’s note => I
added a tube for year 2024 in case you need it
open all the tubes into PSP and duplicate them. Work with
the copies to preserve orignals
place (or import) the supplies provided into the appropriate
folders of My Corel PSP
open the mask and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections into the folder « selections » of
Corel PSP General folder

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been replaced by --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 » --> image => mirror => mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image => mirror => mirror vertical
