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

Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation,

place all the supplies provided into the dedicated folders of My Corel PSP General folder

it is assumed you have some working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro 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)
