This tutorial is for those that have a
working knowledge of PSP. This tutorial was written by me on April 20, 2013 and
any resemblance is purely coincidental. I use PSP 9, but any version should
work. I do not allow my tutorials to be translated and please do not claim them
as your own. If you would like to share the tutorial please send a link to my
blog. Thank you!
