| | Hello all,
Photoshop CS: S/H brighten by 15% ( love this tool!!)
Brightened a bit more with curves
Oversaturated to +40%
Luminosity Mask inverted, new layer and blend hard mix 30%
Flatten image and run buzz pro Simplifier 1 just enough that it doesnt distort the sharpness of the eyes.
Created a layers level and darkened picture.
Painted back in face concentrating on eyes and white fur
Nice Kitty!!  |

1. Threshold
2. Radial gradiant
3. Masked eyes in from original, Hue and Saturation and then brightness and contrast.
Thanks

| | | Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright... I guess I had to add my slant on this image. - Copy background layer.
- Run Poster Edges filter - Thickness: 2, Intensity: 1, Posterization: 2.
- Duplicate layer.
- Run Graphic Pen filter - Length: 15, Balance: 50, Direction: Right Diagonal.
- Reduce layer opacity to 50% to add colour.
- Add layer mask to both layers and paint out eyes using black, with a soft brush.
- Flatten image.
- Increase saturation to +70.
- Save image.

| | I thought I'd resurrect this old thread. I love cats of all sizes and I couldn't resist this one. I started with the Art History Brush in PSCS then used that for my clone base in Painter IX. Merged the two results together and added some texture.
