Another nice photo to work on, Peter. Lots of creative renditions so far.

Photoshop tweaked a bit. Muted the yellow, sharpened in Lab Mode. Then used Eye Candy Nature Animal Fur. Tweaked further in that apps capability. Like the angle, length, etc.

Re: Creative Portraits: A really big Pussy Cat!

very cool, cupcake

gunner, if you were asking me about the rake, no. i used something you're using... well, an offshoot of... corel painter photo essentials. it's essentials 4 but without the painter part, just the photo part. i got it free when i bought psp 12 and hadnt tried it out till yesterday. very cool and very tempting to get essentials 4 and/or even painter.

nice rendition, btw

Great pic of a majestic beast to work on. Thanks for posting, Peter S.

I went for an oily, pallette knife effect.

Re: Creative Portraits: A really big Pussy Cat!

That's an absolute belter, Cupcake! Was it all done in CS6 or is that fractillius filter involved somewhere? Either way, it's the best of the thread, IMO. (so far )
