How about "Revenge of the Cats"

Tigger doesn't look like much but she has some pretty influential friends and some connections at the State Department!

Illustration.

Increased eye size by 12%. EScrapper's sketch routine colorized mainly. Help from Flaming Pear's Mr. Contrast as well. Selective saturation in area's that needed it too.

Desaturated layer copy, PS diffuse glow filter, history brush to bring back some color, angles brush strokes and a paper texture.

One contented puddy. My cat is black and white and is a "Hemingway" cat with six toes. Incredibly intelligent and loving. She runs the household.

Re: PHOTO ART: Mini-Challenge #25 - Tiger the Cat

Messed round with several things here, including diffuse glow. Then I noticed it looked very like Cazubi's go at this. So I took it further by running it through impressionist and then fading back slightly.

I hope your not getting out of breath following me???

I think I have been very active because it helps me not to think about going into hospital to get one of my eyes fixed at the end of next month. Believe me I am petrified about it.

But (puts on brave face) life goes on.

Peter

Nice pic by the way.

Well they tell me they will correct my vision in that eye as well as remove all the clouds (see they're not all in my brain), I've also been told colours will be more vivid, so I won't be checking out my older posts just in case.

Posting twice as much! My day job would get in the way of that.

That kitty is floating on the clouds. Changed background, added elements, made a focal point, painted with Impressionist.

This was done with Snap Art 2. It's gives you a lot more control and has better presets than the first version. I'm starting to like it.

I used Dry Brush on Tiger, toned down the floral print b.g. then did a radial blur of the b.g. I selected parts of it then added a fill pattern that I made. Highlighted it on the lower section. Used Lighting Effects which added a nice curve.
Thanks for the lovely picture to work with.
Off topic question : what do you feed your cats ? The oldest cat I ever had was 16 yrs old.
