Franie works with PSPX9, and I use PSP 2020 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 Franie’s tutorials on your forums or sites
please ask her first

Thank you to understand and respect the rules.
The tubes Franie uses have been sent by the authors on different groups
And she has their permission to use them
she is a tuber herself
If you see a tube that might belong to you, contact Franie 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
