AU BORD DE LA MER
AT THE SEASIDE
Thanks Evalynda for the invitation to translate your tutorials
This tutorial was written with PSPX8 and translated with PSPX7 and 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.

a little note about this filter.
If you don't find the effect on Andromeda's list, it is easy that you have previously added
in your Location Files the Plugin Galaxy that contains an effect with the same name (Rainbow).
In older versions of PSP, the filter added before prevented using the effect with the same name of the filter added after.
To use Andromeda's Rainbow, you will need to remove the Galaxy Plugin from the File Paths.
