This tutorial was written with CorelX19 and translated with CorelX17, 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 presets in the Presets Folder.
Copy the texture in the Textures Folder.


1. Choose two colors from your misted
For me:
Foreground color to #8b6f7b,
Background color to #a5a5a5.



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



2. Open "imagen Alpha".
Window>Duplicate, or on the keyboad Shift+D to make a copy.
Close the original.
The copy, that will be the basis of your work, is not empty,
but contains the selections saved on the alpha channel.

3. Flood Fill the transparent image with your Gradient.

6. Image>Mirror.

7. Effects>Geometric Effects>Skew.



8. Effects>Reflection Effects>Rotating Mirror.



9. Selections>Load/Save Selections>Load Selection from alpha Channel.
The selection #1 is immediately available.
You have only to click Load.



10. Effects>3D Effects>Drop Shadow, color black.



Selections>Select None.

11. Layers>Duplicate.
Image>Mirror.

12. Image>Resize, to 60%, resize all layers not checked.

13. Objects>Align>Gauche.
If your are working with a previous version of PSP that has not available the menu Objects,
use the Move Tool to move the image to the left side.

Or activate the Pick Tool
