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 and Garances 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 - preset - masks - selections - Cloclo’s watermark - Alpha layer
The main tube is not provided
other tubes provided are licence free

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(s) and minimize to tray
copy / paste selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP General folder
double click on the preset to install ( or import )

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Filters (plugins) used
MuRa's Filter Meister / Perspective Tiling
Textures / Grain
Graphics plus / Cross Shadow
Modules externes /AAA FRAME : Foto frame

c

use the pencil to you follow the steps
hold down left click of your mouse to grab and move it

Important
Open all images with PSP, duplicate them and close the originals.
Never work with original images.
Cloclo works with PSP20 ; I work with PSP pro 2020 Ultimate
but you can follow the steps with another version of PSP
don’t forget to save your work often
