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 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

supplies
tubes - mask - 1 alpha layer (selections on the alpha channel) - color palette
The main tube is not provided
tubes provided are licence free

open all the tubes into PSP and duplicate them. Work with the copies to preserve orignals
open the mask and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP General folder
copy / paste mask into the folder « mask » of Corel PSP General folder
double click on the 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Filters (plugins) used

Important
Open all images with PSP, duplicate them and close the originals.
Never work with original images.
Cloclo worked with PSPXII ; I work with PSP pro 2019
but you can follow the steps with another version of PSP
don’t forget to save your work often

Colors
use the Dropper tool to pick up the colors into your tubes
Cloclo chose these colors

color 1 -> ForeGround color -> #9aa665
color 2 -> BackGround color -> #43510f
Don't hesitate to change colors and blend modes of the layers,
according to your tubes and images
