HORA DOURADA



Thanks Estela for your invitation to translate your tutorials into english



The "Golden Hour" can be seen as a metaphor for life:
brief moments of intensity and beauty
that we need to recognize and enjoy before they disappear.

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.
