MY TUTORIALS
BARBIE
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 in order 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 PSPX on March 26, 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 their respective 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 the gradient into your PSP files in the Gradients folder. Double-click on the font, click on Install and it will install itself in its right place. Double-click on the preset and it will be saved automatically in its right place.
Save your work often as pspimage with all your layers just in case your PSP crashes!!
