This tutorial was created with CorelX6.
It's a personal creation of Azalée and it is prohibited to copy or distribute it on the net (forums, groupes.. etc),
or to use it on commercials sites.
Masks and tubes should not be used in other tutorials without her permission.

For my translation, I used CorelX2, but the tutorial 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.
