I included a (screenshot) (http://www.poemsbysoul.com/Image4ss.jpg) but here's the settings used for the tiger. You can always play with them for different results.
Softness 10 / Bristles 71/ Width 11 / Opacity 0 / Length 16 / Density 10 / Angle 306 /

Color = Black or html code #000000

If you're using PSP X you're going to have to play with the settings to get the desired

result.

With your kind permission, I had to see what this little kitty would look like with this rendering.

Hope you don't mind my borrowing your nice photo.

Used various brush styles and sizes in the Gertrudis Pro plugin in PSP 9.

Thank you for allowing me to use the image.

ah, something I dont have access to since i'm using 8. I do have a trial of 10 atm, but haven't played with it all that much. I think I am going to try to come up with the $65 (I think) for it since it's an upgrade.
