ASDwebdesigns - Goodbye 2013 - English translation of the original tutorial by Monaiekje

Thank you Monique for your permission 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:

VM Natural - Splash! & Lakeside Reflection

Transparency - Eliminate Black

Flaming Pear - flood

Preparations:

Double click on the font (ttf) to open. Minimize to tray, you can use it now in PSP. Note: If you are using PSP13 or higher in combination with Windows 7 or 8 you need to install the font to the Font folder of Windows.

Open the Mask files in PSP and minimize to tray

Copy the Selection file 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

Colors:

Set your Foregroundcolor to #134683

Set your Backgroundcolor to #ffffff

Note: When working with your own colors, play with the Blend Mode and/or Opacity at your own discretion
