This tutorial was made in 2015 with an earlier PSP version.
I have used PSPX5 to make my translation;
you can follow this tutorial with any other versions of PSP, but the result might be slightly different.
Download the zip file containing the materials, decompress and copy the originals;
work with the copies. For presets, double-click on them and they will install themselves.
For gradients, masks, selections, textures, simply place in your appropriate PSP folders.
