ASDwebdesigns - Yuna - English translation of the original tutorial by Meetjes Plekje

Sadly Meta had to leave this earthly world November 2013, Meta was ill for a long time. We will honour her by her beautiful 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:

It@lian Editors Effect - Effetto Fantasma

L&K SiteOfWonders - L en K"s Paris

Nik Software - Color Efex Pro 3.0

Graphics Plus - Cross Shadow

Preparations:

Copy the Gradient to the Gradients folder of PSP

Open the Brush in PSP and export as Custom Brush

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.

Copy the Line Style to the Styled Lines folder of PSP (check to see if you have it first, it is a standard Corel Styled Line)

Copy the Selection to the Selections folder of PSP

Copy the Textures to the Textures 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 #000000

Set your Backgroundcolor to #f56d53

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