NOTE 1: (PSP8)
When I came to redo this tut with instructions and examples, the next effect
didn't work right away... may be a bug in my PSP8.. kept showing window type squares.
BUT I persisted and the correct 'warp' worked after about the 3rd try. So if you come across
the same problem... persist until it works *S*
NOTE 2: (PSP9)
With the next instructions for the WARP effect....
If the result is not the same as the example after doing the effect,
you may have to save your image as a .psp image,
close PSP and close all open pages/folders etc
and REBOOT your computer.
Then reopen PSP and your saved image and try the effect once more.
I don't know if it's peculiar to my version (PSP9) but when retesting this tut
I had the problem mentioned above.
Rebooting solved the problem.
