MY TUTORIALS

IRISH QUEEN

This tutorial is a personal creation.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is strictly forbidden to modify my images, to change their name or take off the watermarks, 
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.

I have made this tutorial with PSPX5 on February 14, 2024. Thank you to respect my work and the creators work. Don’t hesitate to write to me here if you have any trouble with this tutorial and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can.

Decompress the zipped Materials file, open the files and save them in your My PSP files folder. For png and other images, duplicate them after taking away my watermark. Work with your duplicates to preserve originals. Open the masks and minimize them to tray. Copy/Paste selections into your My PSP files Selections folder. Double-click on the presets, if any, to install them and they will be saved automatically in their right place.

Save your work often as pspimage with all your layers just in case your PSP crashes!!
