Lesson 599
Xienna
This lesson was written on Aug 9, 2024 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 resemblance is 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.
