This tutorial was written with PSP2020 and translated with PSPX9 and 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.

For this tutorial, you will need:
3 image a tema
1 tube
The rest of the material



(The links of the tubemakers here).






consult, if necessary, my filter section here
Filters Unlimited 2.0 qui
AAA Frames - Foto Frame qui
VM Distortion - Radial Pox qui
Mehdi - Wavy Lab 1.1. qui
Filters VM Distortion can be used alone or imported into Filters Unlimited.
(How do, you see here)
If a plugin supplied appears with this icon it must necessarily be imported into Unlimited





You can change Blend Modes according to your colors.



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

1. Open a new transparent image 900 x 600 pixels.

2. Choose 4 colors from your images or from your tube.
For me #676a49 - #f6cb7c - #f49249 - #3c586e



Set your foreground color to #676a49.
and your background color to #f6cb7c



3. Effects>Plugins>Mehdi - Wavy Lab 1.1.
This filter creates gradients with the colors of your Materials palette.
The first is your background color, the second is your foreground color.
Change the last two colors created by the filtre:
the third color with #f49249 and the fourth color with #3c586e.



To achieve the same result as the original tutorial, see the next point.
I changed the filter settings:



4. Effects>Plugins>Filters Unlimited 2.0 - VM Distortion - Radial Pox, default settings.
If I hadn't changed the Mehdi filter settings, I would have had this:



By changing the Mehdi filter settings, this is the result of the Radial Pox filter



So I hope I've gotten as close as possible to the result of the original tutorial:
