Preparation
install the 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Filters
VM Distortion, Medhi, Simple, Tiles & Mirror, Topaz Labs, Nik Software
