This tutorial is a personal creation.
Virginia works with PSP17
I work with PSP19
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.
Thank you to respect Virginia’ work and the tubers’ work.
Don’t hesitate to warn her if you have any trouble
with this tutorial.
some tubes were received in sharing groups
if you think one of them is yours, or not copyright free,
please let Virginia know
and a link to your site will be added
either she will delete it from the material provided if you
prefer
if you use PSP 14 / 15 or 16 (or an earlier version of PSP)
