Materials
The original tutorial is written on PSP 2020.
This translation is written with PSP 2020.
If you work with other versions some things might be different but the result will be the same.
Note: In the latest versions of PSP the commands
Image-Mirror has become Image - Mirror - Mirror Horizontal
Image-Flip has become Image - Mirror - Mirror Vertical
Note: I use a script for the old commands of Image-Mirror and Image-Flip
and I work with the old Material Properties - in PSP 2018, 2019, 2020
under File - Preferences - General Program Preferences - check Use classic Material Properties
