This tutorial was translated with PSP09, but it can also be made using other versions of PSP.
Since version PSP X4, Image>Mirror was replaced with Image>Flip Horizontal,
and Image>Flip with Image>Flip Vertical, there are some variables.
In versions X5 and X6, the functions have been improved by making available the Objects menu.
In the latest version X7 command Image>Mirror and Image>Flip returned, but with new differences.

For older versions that don't have this feature,
this setting slightly enhances the colors.
You can optionally duplicate the layer, set it to Overlay mode,
and lower the opacity to 50% (or a value of your choice depending on your colors).
