This lesson was made in Paint Shop Pro 2020 Ultimate

But can easily be made in previous versions.

Mail me if you encounter some difficulties.

ATTENTION

In earlier versions, merging down layers with different blend mode and/or opacity, can result in a slightly different effect .

The option Image - mirror/flip is no longer available in PSP versions newer than X4 -to Psp 2020 .

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 .

Is an easy way to add the old Mirror and Flip options to the Image Menu

Please use the script, you find it

You are welcome to take this arrow with you, it shows you always where you are (just click and drag)
