Preparation
install all plugins if necessary (double click on them)
copy the masks into the folder “mask” of Corel Folder or open with PSP and minimize it (best method)
open the tubes and duplicate them. Work with copies, close 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 this software’s window is opened, 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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 --> #12403d
color 2 --> background color --> BG --> #416a5a
color 3 -> #84a788
color 4 -> #b1c99b

don’t hesitate to change colors, blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your tubes
