This lesson was written on Jan 25, 2025 with 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 similarities are purely coincidental.
I use a color scheme in my lessons
I list the colors by noting the color number in the color box, in the color scheme
I found the pictures on the net
Masks are from
Other materials are made by myself, this will have mpd© behind it.
