Preparations:

Open the Mask and the Tubes in PSP, NOTE: If you are using different colors you might need to colorize some of the files.

Copy the Selection files to the Selections folder of PSP

Double click on the font (ttf) to open. Minimize to tray, you can use it now in PSP. Note: If you are using PSP13 or higher in combination with Windows 7 or 8 you need to install the font to the Font folder of Windows ( Double click on the Font, click on Install).

From PSP 14, 15 AND 16 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. From PSP 17 the option is back.

NOTE: If you use your own images or tubes, make them the same size!!!
