Choose a tube of a woman, complete or bust
I’m using a tube from SvB

2/ BL22_Deco2
3/ BL22_Deco3
Alpha Selections : open in PSP and minimize
1/ BL22_KaD_Alfakanaal (this image is not empty – it contains alpha selections)
Filter Preset : you can leave it in the materials folder
1/ BL22_KaD_FloodPreset
Color palette :
If you work with your own colors, make your own color palette with the alpha channel,
so you can easily switch between your colors.
There are color differences in the different versions of Psp.
Therefore, use the html codes of the color palette to be sure,
that you have the same colors. Also when merging layers, there may be color differences.
Plugins :
1/ Mehdi : Wavy Lab 1.1 – Sorting Tiles
2/ Flaming Pear : Flood
3/ Tramages : Tow the Line

THE TUTORIAL
When working with your own colors, play with the Blend Mode and/or Opacity at your own discretion
From now on I use the terms "MIRROR" and "FLIP" again.
Mirror: Mirror horizontal - Flip: Mirror vertical
Let’s get started.
Remember to save your work often
Colors :
First, make your own color palette, so you can change your colors easily.
Color 1 (Foreground color) = #353536
Color 2 (Background color )= #a3a1a1
Color 3 : Light accent color from your tube
Color 4 : a darker version of color 3
Color 5 : white (#ffffff)
Color 6 : black (#000000)
