Lesson 598
Imagica
This lesson was written on July 28, 2024 using psp12.
If you are using a different version of PSP, the settings and filter effects may have a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the result you want.
This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any similarity is purely coincidental.
I use a color scheme in my lessons.
I list the colors by noting the color number listed in the color box, in the color scheme.
