THE TOUCH OF SILENCE

Thanks Soxikibem for your invitation to translate your tutorials into english

The Touch of Silence
Her delicate fingers trace the contours of her face,
as if embracing the quiet whisper of a dream.
With closed eyes, she listens to the silence—not as absence,
but as a melody only the soul can hear.
In this gentle stillness, time dissolves, and she becomes one with the hush of the universe.

Clic and move the brush to follow the tutorial.

This tutorial was written with Psp2022 and translated with PspX2020, 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.
