open all the tubes into PSP and duplicate them. Work with the copies to preserve orignals
open the mask and minimize it to tray
copy / paste mask into the folder « mask » of Corel PSP General folder
double click on the presets to install them ( or import )

« Mirror » --> image -> mirror -> mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image -> mirror -> mirror vertical

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

color 1 -> ForeGround color -> #ffcdc9

Don't hesitate to change the colors and the blend modes of the layers,
according to your tubes and images
