Lesson 601

Omaira



This lesson was written on Sep 5, 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.
