Preparations:

Double Click on the Eye Candy Preset, it will be imported automatically

Text is provided but if you want to write your own text: 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.

In PSP 14 & 15 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. There is a easy way to add the old Mirror and Flip options to the Image Menu. I have written a tutorial you can find it HERE
