Materials
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 command
Image-Mirror has become Image - Mirror - Mirror Horizontal
and Image-Flip has become Image - Mirror - Mirror Vertical
I use the old versions of Image-Mirror and Image-Flip

Duplicate all the tubes and work with the copies to preserve the originals.
If you don't have the plugins install them into your Plugins folder for PSP
