| | | Gavin - nice image! Jeff - nice addition of texture.
I used Color range to select the oranges, blacks, whites, and blue to separate layers where I could heighten saturation, blur a bit, and apply brush strokes.
Then I decided to make a basic sketch image underneath my color layers; liked that combination and then added a white layer on top to start erasing off with a rough brush - but then decided to add a type of window covering layer over that to give them something to hide behind and peek out. |

| | Well, I couldn't resist them. Just look what happens when I get a couple of days off,  , I get lots of work (Not!) done.
For the kittens, I adjusted levels, buzzed lightly, added a little noise, and using the smudge tool, painted the image. Then I used the artistic - paint daubs filter (thanks for posting this, AndyB, I use it a lot - http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/sho...ghlight=Connor) and high pass filter, added a solid color adjustment layer, painted to reveal the picture, and added a texture.
Sure are cute kittens.

| | | Ah, very subtle, Justme. I like this a lot. Glad you plowed through the upload minefield. Good to have another Paint Shop Pro player among us, too.
RE: "Saw this suggestion on DP Retouch"
I'm not familiar with this site. Would you post the URL?
TIA

| | | Love kittys'. Got 3 myself. Duped then ran M.F. Sketcher then pasted back into original. Hue Saturation adjustment and cranked up the Sat. Ran a Curves adjustment and increased contrast.
Cheers

Some layering, some texturing, some filtering and some painting.
What layering? What texturing? What filtering? How did I paint it?
I can’t remember!  |
