tubes - masks - texture

Robot tube created by Danimage
the tubes by Lisa T are available ->.....
character -> page 8 « fantasy-toons »  HERE

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 it(them) to tray
install all plugins needed
install the pattern.... into the dedicated folder « texture » 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 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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
