PLEASE NOTE where instructions differ for
PSP8, these will be shown in blue
otherwise follow the regular instructions
To keep the loading time down, I have tried to keep the screen captures to a minimum so
when the same effect is used more than once, I have just made a reference to it!
Remember to save your work often!!!
