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

Supplies
1 palette - 2 masks - 1 preset – tubes, image and misted - Alpha layer (and selections apart in case you need them)
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

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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