This tutorial was created with PSP19 and translated with PSP07 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.

Place the brush in Brush folder. Attention, please, the brush is composed by two files, you must place both the files in the folder.

**

I created this gif in 2015, after weeks of searching for the right keyboard
and the "right" fingers to place on the keys.
I was very sorry to see it in a tutorial, manipulated to remove my signature
and add that of the person who took it from my site, without asking my permission.
If he had, I wouldn't have denied it.
I hope thes people realize the impropriety and remove the gif from their tutorials.
