This translation is written with PSP 2018 ULTIMATE by Corel, if you work with older versions some things might be different but the result will be the same

 

Acknowledgements:

Preparations:

From PSP 14 and higherthere 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 From PSP 17 the option is back
