DECEMBER


Thank you very much Ildiko for your permission to propose
in the Advent Calendar 2022 - into Italian, French and English
this tutorial that I translated in 2017 for the TG-Reloaded Group.
I translated this tutorial with PSPX2 and PSPX7, 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.
