COLYBRIX
Thanks Yedralina for your invitation to translate your tutorials into english
This tutorial was written with CorelX19 and translated with CorelX17, 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 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 preset in the folder of the plugin Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact>Settings>Glass.
One or two clic on the file (it depends by your settings), automatically the preset will be copied in the right folder.
why one or two clic see here
Copy the presets Pick in the Presets Folder.
Open the mask in PSP and minimize it with the rest of the material.
1. Set your foreground color to #314b0b,
and your background color to #74c02e.
Set your foreground color to a Foreground/Background Gradient, style Linear.
2. Open colybrix2_CanalAlpha
Window>Duplicate or, on the keyboard, shift+D to make a copy.

Note. If the tube you are using is too large and exceeds the edge of the image,
try to adjust the size.
There are my settings with the Pick Tool
(K key on the keyboard)
You can use, if you want, the supplied preset 197_22-@Yedralina.
If you use a larger tube, such as the second tube provided,
applying the preset will automatically reduce it (see the second example below: the blue image).
22. Effects>Plugins>Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact - Glass.
Select the preset Glass 10 and ok.
And here is the result, using the tube provided
This is the result with the second tube provided.
And here's another example, again with a "vertical" tube.
However, if you use a non-vertical tube and a different "misted",
you may have a skewed result, as happened in this example
The reason is because the preset was created on the basis of the tubes provided,
to give an oval result, like the ones shown above.
If you don't want to change tubes, I suggest you do this:
Copy in the Selection folder the selection I added in the material.
Activate the bottom layer.
Selections>Load/Save Selection>Load Selection from disk.
Look for and load the selection sel yedra colybrix ovale
Selections>Transform Selection to layer.
Layers>Arrange>Bring to Top.
Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur, with previous settings.
Edit>Paste into selection your tube.
Apply the Glass Effect, and here is the good result
23. Edit>Cut (this command cuts and keeps in memory).
Stay on this empty layer.

Open the selections menu and load the selection #2.
