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

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
1 photo (personal)

open all the 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 to tray (best method)
install all the plugins needed

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 window is opened, your font will be available in 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
