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,

supplies
script - tubes - alpha layer (selections included) palette - presets
The main tube is not provided
Translator's note : I used one of my tubes, available for free on my site
the tubes provided are licence free

copy / paste the script into the folder « scripts restricted » of Corel PSP general folder
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 selections into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP General folder
open the  mask into the folder « mask » of Corel PSP General folder
double click on the presets to install them ( 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Important
Open all images with PSP, duplicate them and close the originals.
Never work with original images.
Cloclo works with PSPXV ; I work with PSP pro 2020 Ultimate
but you can follow the steps with another version of PSP
notice that the results might be slightly different if you have a different 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 -> #4f4f4f
color 2 -> BackGround color -> #dbd4ce
Don't hesitate to change the colors and the blend modes of the layers,
according to your tubes and images
