This tutorial was translated with PSPX7 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.

You can use the gradients of the older versions.

This plugin works with the colors of your Materials,
but keeps in memory the first settings used after the opening of PSP.
So, if you have already used the plugin, press Reset to be sure to have your colors.
To change the appearance of the clouds, which is random, click on the window preview,
until you'll see the result you like better
