This tutorial was created with PSPX8 and translated with PSPX3, 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.

little note on the watermark:
I don't ask to put watermark on the versions made by my translations.
But if you decide to use the watermark, I would appreciate that my work as translator was also respected.
For that, I added a new watermark to the material.
