This tutorial, created with PSP2022, was translated with PspX9 and 2020, 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.



Copy the preset in the Presets Folder.

Copy the selection in the Selections Folder.

Set your foreground color with a light color of your tube; for me #a6795e,
and your background color to white #ffffff.



1. Open a new transparent image 800 x 550 pixels.
Flood Fill the transparent image with your foreground color.

Selections>Select All.

2. Layers>New Raster Layer.

Open the image JHanna_565 background

Edit>Copy.
Go back to your work and go to Edit>Paste into Selection.

Selections>Select None.

Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Luminance (legacy).
Layers>Merge>Merge visible.

3. Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur - radius 30.



4. Effects>Plugins>Ormentes Filters - Miropads



5. Layers>Duplicate.

Effects>Geometric Effects>Skew.



Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Multiply.
Layers>Merge>Merge visible.

6. Effects>Plugins>Filters Unlimited 2.0 - Simple - Blintz.



Layers>Duplicate.
Image>Mirror>Mirror vertical (Image>Flip).

Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Overlay.
Layers>Merge>Merge visible.

7. Layers>Duplicate.
Image>Mirror>Mirror Horizontal.
Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Multiply.
Layers>Merge>Merge visible.

8. Layers>New Raster Layer.
Selections>Load/Save Selection>Load Selection from Disk.
Look for and load the selection EF_sel_Feeling



Flood Fill the selection with color white #ffffff.

Selections>Modify>Contract - 10 pixels.

Set your foreground color to #f88f43



Flood Fill the selection with your foreground color.

Change the Blend Mode of this layer to Luminance.
Keep selected.

10. Open the tube JHanna_568 tube

Edit>Copy.
Go back to your work and go to Edit>Paste as new layer.
Place the tube on the selection to your liking.

Selections>Invert.
Press CANC on the keyboard
Selections>Select None.

Layers>Merge>Merge down - 2 times.

Please note, for various reasons (PSP version, colors, tube, etc.),
Merge Down may cause the image to fade, and/or the tube to almost disappear.
In this case, I recommend closing the background layer
and to do Layers>Merge>Merge Visible.
Reopen the background layer and stay positioned on the top layer.
