Cat in a basket

[Bob Mc]

Palms

Thanks for your interest.

I know what you mean about living in their house - I just don't want to admit it out loud - afraid I'll be charged rent payable in fish or gophers or snakes.

How I did it

cropped of course - then ran a light Buzz 1 Simplification
I recently got the Pencil Pixels actions and since I really like several of them, I end up trying 10 or 12 different ones on the Buzz result. Sometimes I apply the same action twice and sometimes one PP action over another.

Then the dilemna comes - choosing a couple to use. so, using Ifranview (free windows file viewer & more) I run a slide show of all my versions (23 this time).
Some get cut and I run it again until I can pick the "top" 2 or 3.

Hope that helps

Regards
Bob Mc

Hi Diane, thank you. Our little persian unfortunately died about 5 years ago. The one "napping in the green" is getting kind of old now, he is 14,5 years old and suffers from diabetes..our "sugar-cat". Hope to have him around for still a long time. I am especially attached to him since he is a "born-in-home-kitty" :-) They were five and he is the oldest and - of course - bravest one...eyes still closed but hissing at me..:-)

@ all: I have been watching through the pics here and am really stunned about your skills and ideas about putting things up...wish I could get only near there. Well, I keep trying...thank you so much for all your excellent advices and inspirations..

Hi Janet, I wish he would, but unfortunately when he sees the lense approach he uncharmingly turns his back - or even worse parts :-) - on it. Only chance to get some decent shots is --> blackmail with some promising foods - or when he is sleepy:-)

Palms, she is a sweety!

Do not let Peter S. anywhere near your cat until he swears not to eat her!

Bob Mc -- Great dog diary! I've seen the cat one before, but it is SO good that it's always fun to read.

They are real cute Amica, not that it is in the wrong place but repost them ( change there name first) in a new thread, other wise they may get lost here and fewer people will see them and be able to "have a go "

No problem Palms. since cats sleep most of the day anyway. That last one is also a cute shot.

We had cats when I was growing up, and when our kids were growing up, but we are catless now. My brother has two, a Maine Coon and a light gray and white tabby.

CJ I'm hurt, how could you think such a thing about me
I would just like to point out, that we only have Palm's word that this photo is a before and not an AFTER. Though it may be a before - before the fries were added.

Remember, Peter -- Palms is in your neck of the woods - she or her cat may want to discuss this personally.

I have three cats myself...I couldn't resist such a cute face.
I used cloners in painter, and then ran some filters in PS.

I have found the time to not only "have a go " at my own posting but to try out Swampy's watercolour tut

A try with AKVIS sketch.

cute cate, palms

first things first... this is how i would treat this photo as a photo. basically, it's a crop (several) a usm sharpen (2/100/5), a clarify (9), and Paint Shop Pro's depth of field filter. oh, and a levels adjustment. this one is suitable for printing at 7x9.
