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.

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been replaced by --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
