**************
" It is forbiden to suppress watermarks on the material provided, to alter, mist or rename the tubes in order to respect the work of the tubers.
- One of the masks I have used is by Mentali.

Tutoriel made with PSP X8
********************
1 - Open the image "Fairymist_Lulu_Bkg".
- If you don't wish to make this tutorial similar to mine,
you will have to use the Hue map effect to get colours that match your tubes and own colours :
- Adjust / Hue and saturation / Hue map.
- Here is a possible result (The Hue map effect allows you to get several colours) :
- Don't use the colorize effect as you would only get one colour.
- You may use another image with tints that appeal to you and blur that image at 40 or 50%.
