This tutorial has been 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 this tutorial, you will need:


Material by Maria José
(you find here the links to the material authors' sites)





consult, if necessary, my filter section here
Filters Unlimited 2.0 here
Mehdi - Sorting Tiles, Edges FX here
Distort - Polar Coordinates here
VM Stylize - Zoom Blur here
Simple - Top Left Mirror here
Bordermania 5 - Ellipse here
Filters Simple, and VM Stylize can be used alone or imported into Filters Unlimited.
(How do, you see here)
If a plugin supplied appears with this icon it must necessarily be imported into Unlimited



You can change Blend Modes according to your colors.

In the newest versions of PSP, you don't find the foreground/background gradient (Corel_06_029).
You can use the gradients of the older versions.
The Gradient of CorelX here



Copy the selection in the Selections Folder.

Set your foreground color to #606465
and your background color to #d1b7a0.



Set your foreground color to a Foreground/Background Gradient, style Rectangular.



1. Open a new transparent image 1000 x 700 pixels.
Flood Fill the transparent image with your Gradient.

2. Effects>Plugins>Mehdi - Sorting Tiles.



3. Effects>Plugins>Simple - Top Left Mirror



4. Effects>Plugins>Distort - Polar Coordinates - Rectangular to Polar coché.

if you have previously added in the File Paths the French version of this filter:
Déformation>Coordonnées polaires
depending on your PSP version, you may not find the English one;
no problem, the result does not change:



5. Effects>Plugins>Simple - Top Left Mirror



6. Effects>Plugins>VM Stylize - Zoom Blur, default settings.

Attention, depending on your version of PSP,
strangely it can happen that after having added the VM Stylize filter in the Paths,
this is found under the VM Toolbox filter;
equally strange if you import the VM Toolbox filter in Unlimited you find the effect under VM Stylize.
Don't worry, the effect is the same and the result does not change.
