Preparations:

 

From PSP 14 and higher versions there is no option for Image - Mirror & Image -  Flip There is a new option but this does not give the same result except when the tube/image covers the whole image from side to side There is a easy way to add the old Mirror and Flip options to the Image Menu I have written a tutorial you can find it HERE

 

Colors:

       
#f6f1db #947750 #000000 #ffffff        

Note: When working with your own colors, play with the Blend Mode and/or Opacity at your own discretion

 

Color Palette:

  • Set your Foregroundcolor to #f6f1db

  • Set your Backgroundcolor to #947750

 Set your Foregroundcolor to Foreground/Background Gradient (Corel_06_029) - Style: Linear
