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 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 worked with PSP2020
you can follow this tutorial with another version of PSP, but the result might be slightly different

Supplies
alpha layer - tubes - mask

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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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

Plugins needed
Mehdi>Sorting tiles
AAA Frame>Texture Frame
Mura's Meister>Perspetive Tilling

Use the pencil to mark your place along the way
hold down left click to grab and move it

Prepare your work !
duplicate all the tubes and work with the copies to preserve originals
save your work often in case of problems with your psp
