This tutorial is a
personal creation from Valérie Savary, better known as valyscrappassion.com. You can find the original here. Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is strictly forbidden to modify tubes, masks and other creation, to change their
name or take off the watermarks unless specified -
to present them on your sites or blogs - to share them in groups, to make a bank of
images or to use them on lucrative purposes.
Thank you to
respect Valérie’s and other creators' work mentioned in the original tutorial. Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can. You can reach me here.
Download the zip
file containing the materials - decompress and copy the originals; work with the
copies. For presets, doubleclick on them
and they will install themselves. For gradients,
masks, selections, textures etc, simply place in your appropriate PSP folders.

make my translation but you can follow this tutorial with any other versions of PSP but the result
might be slightly different.
