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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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