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

Thanks go to PamelaD for tubing the Tribe of Three by Joan Allen tube and to Silvie for the bubbles tube.


Unzip the materials into a working folder you have created on your desktop named Friends. Please duplicate and close original tubes. Use the copies for your work so you will not lose the originals. Place the Gradient cvm_1204 into your PSP/Gradients folder (if it is not already there). Place the Mask in your PSP Files/Masks folder and the Preset Shapes into your PSP Files/Preset Shapes folder. I have used no extra plugins in this tutorial. It is assumed you have a working knowledge of PSP to follow these directions. I have used PSP2018 for this tutorial but other versions may be used.
