TRACES OF LIGHT



Thanks Soxikibem for your invitation to translate your tutorials into english



Between shadows and light, time whispers forgotten secrets.
In every gentle breeze, an echo of lost memories dances in the silence.
The past and present intertwine in ethereal murmurs, guiding hearts that still dream.

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.
