This tutorial has been 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.

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



The texture Corel_15_012 (Squares) is standard in PSP.
If you don't find it in your PSP, copy the supplied texture in your Textures Folder.

Open the mask in PSP and minimize it with the rest of the material

Choose 2 colors to your liking.
For the example:
Set your foreground color to the dark color #20383c
and your background color to the light color #cf7b08.



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



1. Open a new transparent image 1000 x 700 pixels.
Flood Fill the transparent image with your Gradient.

****

Some friends reported not finding these effects in the AP01 Innovations filter.
If you unzipped the filtre that I add before my translation,
you will find this:



Add the folder in the File Paths and you will have the effects



If you still do not see the effects, probably in the File Paths there are previous folders of this filter,
that must be deleted.
Remember that when you delete a filter from the Paths, you can always add it again if necessary.
