Lesson 621

This lesson was written on Jan 21, 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

Masks are from
