ATTENTION

This lesson was made in version 18 , but can easily be made in previous versions.

Mail me if you encounter some difficulties.

In earlier versions, merging down layers with different blend mode and/or opacity, can result in a slightly different effect .

The option Image - mirror/flip is no longer available in PSP versions newer than X4 - Psp X5- X6- X7 and X8

There is a new option but this does not give the same result except when the tube/ image covers the whole image from side to side.

There is an easy way to add the old Mirror and Flip options to the Image Menu.

Please use the script . You can find it

You are welcome to take this arrow with you, it shows you always where you are (just click and drag)

Have Fun!
