Thank you Laurette for your permission to translate your
work
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 respect Laurette’s work and the tubers
work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with
this translation,
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can
Laurette works with PSPX9 and I work with PSP 2019
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP,
but the result might be slightly different
don’t hesitate to change blend modes and opacities
of the layers to match your personal colors and tubes
place the tools and materials provided into the appropriate
folders of My COREL PSP general folder
to import presets, double-click on them, or import
open the mask(s) and minimize to tray
install the plugins necessary
this tutorial is the property of Laurette, and the translation
is my property
Supplies
1 alpha layer - 1
selection - tubes - 2 presets - 1 texture 1 color palette
some tubes are not provided (licensed
tubes) - you can puchase them HERE
duplicate all the tubes and decorations, and alpha layers,
and work with the copies to preserve originals
open the mask(s) and minimize to tray
place selections, patterns, gradients..... into the dedicated
folders of My Corel PSP General folder
double click on presets to install (or import)
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been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become --> image => mirror => mirror
horizontal
« Flip » has become --> image => mirror => mirror
vertical
