ENGLISH VERSION
Thanks Lica Cida for your invitation to translate your tutorial
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 about the watermark:
I don't ask to put watermark on the versions made by my translations.
But if you decide to use the watermark supplied by the author, I would appreciate that my work as translator was also respected.
For that, I added my watermark to the material (english and french).
