Thank you Meta for asking me to translate your tutorials.

Please read my TERMS before sharing this tutorial!

 

 

Materials:  

This translation is written with PSP15 but can also be made with other PSP versions.

Plugins:

  • Simple – Blintz & Half Wrap

  • Tramages – Glass Pyramids

  • L&K SiteOfWonders  L en K Raisa

  • Carolaine and Sensibility – CS-DLines

  • Toadies – What Are You?

  • Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact: Backlight & Perspective Shadow

  • Graphics
     Plus - CrossShadow
     

 

Preparations:

  • Set your Foregroundcolor to #576168

  • Set your Backgroundcolor to #b1b6b7

  • PSP 9  Users (or earlier versions): If you do not have the 20/20 mask needed for this tutorial you can download it HERE - Copy the 20/20 mask file to the mask folder of PSP

  • Open the Narah mask file in PSP and minimize to tray

    •

  • Copy the PSP presets to the Presets folder of PSP

  • Copy the selection files to the Selections folder of PSP

In PSP 14 & 15 there is no option for Image - Mirror & Image -  Flip. There is a new option but this does not give the same result except when the tube/image covers the whole image from side to side. There is a easy way to add the old Mirror and Flip options to the Image Menu. I have written a tutorial you can find it HERE
