Lesson 628

Mallory

 

This lesson was written on February 9, 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.

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
