Lesson 617

 

Path to Heal

 

This lesson was written on Jan 14, 2025 with 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

I list the colors by noting the color number in the color box, in the color scheme

 

Main tube is from

ReneeGraphisme

Narah

 

 

Other materials are made by myself, this will have mpd© behind it.
