Lesson 607

Chaya

 

This lesson was written on Sept 13, 2024 using psp12

If you are working with a different version of PSP, the settings and filter effects may give a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the desired result.

 

This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any similarity is purely coincidental.


In my lessons I use a color scheme
