Cloclo works with PSPXVIII, and I use PSP 2019 Ultimate
But this tutorial can be realized with another version of PSP
however, some differences might be noticed according to the version you use

If you want to present Cloclo’s tutorials on your forums or sites
please ask her first
If you publish your creation on a site or a blog
please put a link towards the tutorial if you create a tag
Thank you to understand and respect the rules.

The tubes Cloclo uses have been sent by the authors on different groups
And she has their permission to use them
If you see a tube that might belong to you, contact Cloclo or myself
And a link towards your site will be added if necessary
Please, don’t use tubes found on the web with no watermark
all tubers apply their watermark without any exception !!!!!
no watermark ---> stolen tube

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
image -> Mirror   -  has become ===>     image => mirror => mirror horizontal
image ->  Flip  -  has become ===>  image => mirror => mirror vertical
