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

Material

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

copy / paste selection into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP General folder
or use the alpha layer, it contains the selection you will need saved on the alpha channel

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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