This tutorial was translated with PSPX9 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.

You can change Blend Modes according to your colors.

In the newest versions of PSP, you don't find the foreground/background gradient (Corel_06_029).
You can use the gradients of the older versions.
The Gradient of CorelX here



Copy the texture in the Textures Folder.
Copy the gradient in the Gradients Folder.

Open the masks in PSP and minimize them with the rest of the material.

1. Open a new transparent image 1024 x 600 pixels.

2. Set your foreground color to #9f795e,
and your background color to #513912.



Set your foreground color to a Foreground/Background Gradient, style Linear.



Flood Fill the transparent image with your gradient.

Open the woman's tube 1282-luzcristina

Go back to your work and go to Edit>Paste into Selection.
Selections>Select None.

4. Effects>Image Effects>Seamless Tiling, default settings.



5. Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur - radius 20.



6. Effects>Texture Effects>Mosaic -Glass



7. Adjust>Add/Remove Noise>Add Noise.



8. Effects>Geometric Effects>Perspective Vertical.



9. Activate your Brush Warp Tool
with these settings



Position the mouse cursor in the middle of the image, on the tip of the pyramid,
to move the image upwards (release the mouse only to change the brush size).



Remember to click slowly, one click at a time.
This step will not be easy to perform, and the result may not be exactly like mine.
You should end up with something similar to this.
