This tutorial, created with PSP2019, 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.

For my version I created a tube from an image provided by Mentali, whom I thank.

consult, if necessary, my filter section here
Filters Unlimited 2.0 here
Flaming Pear - Flexify 2 here

Filters Simple and Toadies can be used alone or imported into Filters Unlimited.
