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 to Alyciane who tests Garances’ tutorials and is  her valued advisor

open the tubes and duplicate. Work with the copies to preserve original files
open the mask and minimize to tray
place the supplies provided into the dedicated folders of My Corel PSP General folder

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
