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 and I work with PSP2020 Ultimate
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
duplicate all the tubes and decorations, and alpha layers, and work with
the copies to preserve originals
install the plugins necessary
this tutorial is the property of Laurette, and the
translation is my property

Supplies
alpha layer with selections on the alpha channel
(Laurette added the 2 selections in the zip
in case you prefer to work like this)
masks
tubes
Laurette’s watermark layer
color palette
preset


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been replaced by -->
« Mirror »has become --> image => mirror => mirror
horizontal
« Flip » has become --> image => mirror => mirror
vertical
