I do these tutorials for fun and not
for any profit. I use them also as a learning tool to
help others learn the fun and art of paint shop pro.
Everything I use I have collected don't claim to have
made anything other then the tag.

Remember to save often in case your psp crashes.
I did this in PSP 9 but sure any one will work.
