This tutorial, created with PSP9, was translated with PSP2020, 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.

***
A quick note about this effect.
Unfortunately, the result varies depending on the colors used.
For example, see some examples below.

The first image is from the tutorial; the others are with different colors.




In my second version, I used Image>Flip,
but the result is always different each time.
And in my third version, I inverted the gradient colors.
