Halloween night has eyes !

you wil find the orignal tutorial here


This tutorial is a personal creation.
Virginia works with PSP17
I work with PSP18
but you can follow this tutorial with any other version of PSP

Any resemblance with another one would be pure coincidence.
It is stricly forbidden to modify images, 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.

Virginia uses the scripts -> « image_mirror » and « image_flip » of the previous versions of psp
if you want to install  these scripts and you are using psp14 – 15 or 16
click on Linette’s banner (Crealine Graphics)

Thank you to Linette for her permission to use her tutorial

Thank you to respect Virginia’ work and the tubers work.
Don’t hesitate to warn her if you have any trouble with this tutorial.

Virginia choose to place it on pumpkin on the right of the group
view your animation
if you want to change the place, click on the « undo » arrow
and choose another place

Step 28
