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.

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 you can easily switch between your colors.
Use the Alfa_Kleurenpallet-6 in the materials for this.

Colors :
Color 1 = Foreground = dark color from your tube
Color 2 = Background = Slightly lighter than color 1
Color 3 = Lighter than color 2 (almost white)
Color 4 = Contrasting Color
Color 5 = #ffffff
Color 6 = #000000
