Other World Dancers

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

For a German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch translation click on the flags.

Create a folder on your desktop named Other World Dancers. Unzip the zipped Materials File into this folder. Make a copy of the tube in zipped folder and use it so the original will stay intact. Install the Font Hello Carrollina Script in your Font folder. Place the two Masks in your PSP Files/Masks folder. Place Chat_Music.1.psp Shape into your PSP Files/Presets Shapes Folder. Click on ArasClearFavorite.f1s setting and it will automatically show in your PSP/Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact/Glass. This tutorial was written using FiltersUnlimited/Bkg Designer sf101/ALFs Border Mirror Bevel, Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact/glass, Filter Forge/Filter Forge 6/Creative/Acid Flux/Default preset and several effects in PSP program. To work this tutorial, it is assumed you have some working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro. I used PSP Pro2020 Ultimate for this tutorial.
