Important
Open all images in PSP, duplicate them and close the originals. (shift + key D)
always work with the copies to preserve original files
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 from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by --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
use the pencil to follow the steps
hold down left click to grab and move it
prepare your material
Instructions
Prepare your work
prepare the materials palette, color 1 & 2 as FG and BG colors
don’t forget to save your work as often as possible
to avoid the inconvenience of an untimely PSP shutdown
Step 1
open a new image => transparent => 950 * 600 px
effects => plugins => Mehdi => Wavy Lab 1.1 => colors 2 / 1 / 6 / 4
Note : if you'd like a different color harmony than mine,
I suggest you start the tutorial with the same colors as mine
then colorize the result obtained at the end of Step 1 before continuing the tutorial
adjust => hue and saturation => Hue/saturation/lightness
for instance….
