                                          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 Shawnee’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 used PSP 2020 to create my tag and make the translation 
                      you can follow this tutorial with another version
                      of PSP, but the result might be slightly different 
                      
                                                Supplies 
                      1 mask - tubes – palette - Shawnee’s watermark
                      - font 
                      
                     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                      been replaced by --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 »has become  --> image =>  mirror => mirror
                      horizontal 
  «  Flip » has become  --> image =>  mirror => mirror
                      vertical
