This tutorial was translated with PSPX9 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.

Attention, I used the filter alone



because - when I run the tutorial again - Unlimited doesn't remember the settings.
If you want to follow my example, before applying the filter, set the background color to white.

If you don't do this (see point 29), you won't have the white shadow

27. K key to activate your Pick Tool
set Position X: 522,00 and keep Position Y: 1,00.



M key to deselect the Tool.

28. Layers>Duplicate.
Image>Miroir>Miroir Horizontal.

Layers>Merge>Merge Down.

29. Layers>Duplicate.
