This tutorial was written with PSP2020 and translated with PSPX9, PSPX8 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.

Author's Note:
I don’t know about you, but for me, the colors come out a bit dull;
so, to make them a little brighter (just a bit), I’ve applied

Effects>Plugins>AAA Filters - Custom - Landscape
You can use this or the effect you prefer.

Save as jpg.
