Tubes : (*)
Do you recognize a tube of yourself, please contact me so that I can mention your name or – if you wish – the tube can be removed.
Choose a woman's tube that extends to just above the knee
I use a tube from LB
1/ BL59_KaD__Element1
2/ BL59_KaD__Punt15Vloer
Alpha Selections : open in PSP and minimize
1/ BL59_KaD_Alfakanaal (this image is not empty – it contains alpha selections)
The alpha channel only works from Point 12!
Masks : open in PSP and minimize
1/ Narah_mask_0878
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/ Simple : Blintz – Pizza Slice Mirror

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.
Some print screens have other colors than the original.
Colors :
First create your own color palette, so that you can easily switch between your colors.
Use the Alfa_Kleurenpallet-6 in the materials for this.
Color 1: Foreground: not too dark color from your tube
Color 3: Background: Light color from your tube (almost white)
Color 2: not too light a contrasting color
Color 4: Darker than color 3
Color 5: slightly lighter than color 1
Foreground progression: Linear – see PS
