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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Supplies

Translator's note => Merydesign provided a woman tube created with a licensed image.
I don't want to have any problem with the owner of this image, so I deleted this tube from the supplies
you will have to choose another woman tube . I chose a man tube created by Paimpollab  HERE

open all tubes and duplicate them (window -> duplicate)
Close original tubes and work with the copies (to preserve the originals)
don’t forget to erase tubes’ watermarks before using them
open a gold tile (« dorado » or other) and minimize to tray. You will use it as a pattern (without installation)
place the selection into the folder « selections » of Corel PSP general folder
double click on the preset to install, or import
place the gradient into the folder « gradients » of Corel PSP general folder
