Thank you to all of them.
Without their beautiful creations, no tutorials could be written.

Odette uses PSPX8 and I use PSP2018 to create the tags of her tutorials
but you can follow this tutorials with any other version of PSP
according to the version you use, the result might be slightly different

Matérial

open all tubes
window/duplicate. Close the originals and work with the copies to preserve the originals
don’t forget to erase tubers’ watermarks before using them
open the mask(s) and minimize it(them) to tray
install all plugins needed
install gradients, patterns.... into the dedicated folders into PSP general folder

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Unlimited 2 - Mura’s Meister - Distort - AAA Frames
