For this tutorial you will need the materials in the zip file below.

Unzip the materials into a working folder. Open the materials in PSP, copy and close originals. You will need the plugin Xero for this tutorial. I have used PSPX3 to create this tutorial but you may use an earlier version. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Thanks go to Kat for the beautiful dancer tube used. The Floral Mask comes from this website, Arasimages under Masks. Please visit the tuber sites listed on my Links page and check out the many tubes I have for you to choose from under Tubes.
