according to the version you use, the result might be slightly different

Supplies

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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