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/ Carolaine and Sensibility – cs-texture

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.

Color 3: another, contrasting, not too dark color from your tube
