Lesson 627
Memories
This lesson was written on February 4, 2025 using 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.
