This tutorial was created in PSP8,
March 31, 2004 Resemblance to any other tutorial is purely
coincidental
In November, I wrote a tutorial called Deformed
Dream which used Plugins that not everyone is able to
acquire as they are very pricey I have re-written it in hopes
that more people will be able to do it It uses one Plugin that is
freeware and although not exactly the same, I think it is pretty
close
If you have AutoFX DreamSuite 2 and Filters Unlimited
and want to try the other version, you can find it Here
