Thank you Lorna for allowing me to translate your tutorials.

Monique42 and NightAngel kindly allowed me to use their tubes for this tutorial.
Thanks to both of you.

Monique42 and NightAngel share their tubes here and here


May I point out that the tubes used here are strictly for personal use.
Do not change their names and watermarks and do not upload them on other websites.
Should you need to use these tubes for any other use than personal,
please contact the tubers first for permission.

 

You will need

the zip file here. (The tubes and image in the zip file are those used in the 2nd tag below)
the plugin FILTERS UNLIMITED 2.0

the tutorial is downloadable in pdf format here
