You will find the original tutorial here :

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the matermarks,
To present them on your sites or blog,
To share them in groups,
to make a bank of images, or to use them on lucrative purposes.

Thank you to respect Nicole’s work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation,
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can

I translated this tutorial with Photoshop 2018
Nicole created this tutorial with the ancient version 7 of Photoshop
Some filters are not available with the CC versions of photoshop
you will have to work with PSP if you want to apply these filters
be careful ! the effects (fx) must be rasterized before sending to PSP
otherwise they will be removed from your creation
if you must "paste the layer effect " after rasterizing =>
return to the step where the effect was created to see the settings, and apply them manually again

Supplies
textures - brushes - tubes - images
woman tube created by Lisa T HERE not provided / do not share the tube

open the tubes, duplicate, close the originals, and work with the copies to preserve original files
if you are missing something, don't hesitate to ask Nicole. (eMail adress at the end of this translation)
