Lesson 600

I'm so excited to share that this is a milestone for me!

I've reached 600 tag lessons, which is incredible.

That's why this lesson is called

“600”

This lesson was written on August 23, 2024 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 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.
