Lesson 620

This lesson was written on Jan 19, 2025 with psp 12
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
Marja
Other materials are made by myself, this will have mpd© behind it.
