Folder or open with PSP and minimize it (best method)

original images
Hints & 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been replaced by --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 » --> image -> mirror -> mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image -> mirror -> mirror vertical
Colors
color 1 --> foreground color --> FG --> #dcedef
color 2 --> background color --> BG --> #2a5556
color 3 -> #83a1a5
color 4 -> #6167c8
color 5 -> #668e70
color 6 -> #cf373a
don’t hesitate to change colors, blend modes and
opacities of the layers to match your tubes
if you change the colors to match your own tubes, keep colors
5 and 6
in the materials palette, prepare colors 2 and 1 as FG and
BG colors
