Haute Couture
This tutorial is a personal creation from Valérie Savary, better known as valyscrappassion.com
You can find the original here.
Any resemblance with another one would be only pure coincidence.
It is strictly forbidden to modify tubes, to change their name or take off the watermarks,
to present them on your sites or blog, to share them in groups,
to make a bank of images or to use them on lucrative purposes.
Thank you to respect Valérie’s work and other creators' work mentioned in the original tutorial.
Don’t hesitate to warn me if you have any trouble with this translation
and I’ll try to fix the problem as quickly as I can. You can reach me here.
This tutorial was made on July 30, 2014, 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.
Let's begin!!
1
Decompress the zip file, make duplicate copies of the originals. Never work on the originals.
Make your work in a PSPimage format so that you can save your work with its multilayers and
save often to avoid loss of time and efforts in case of a PSP crash of some sort.
Save presets by double-clicking on them, they will install themselves in their right place.
Save selections in your My PSP files Selections folder.
Open masks and minimise to tray until requested in the tutorial.
