This tutorial, created with PSP2022, was translated with PspX7, 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.
See my schedule here



"My heart, far away,
signals that it wants to return
Already in my chest I carry it in bronze
THERE IS NO SPACE NOR PLACE
What good is this thing to me
that never stops beating?
It seems more like a clock
that has just gone mad
Why do I want someone who cries,
if I'm so well like this,
and the emptiness that goes out there
falls softly inside me?"
Paulo Leminski
