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.

I am privileged to be a beta tester for Mike Finn's DigiDoodle action. See examples posted by Mike in these threads:

It never ceases to be amazed by Mike's creativity. DigiDoodle should be available soon.

Thanks CJ for the info on how to post.
Paint Shop Pro user. But not a pro by any means.
Did HSL adj - B/C adj - G.Blur. Saw this suggestion on DP Retouch.
Dulp layer but used saturation . Adj opacity . Blend emboss. Merged.

Ah, very subtle, Justme. I like this a lot. Glad you plowed through the upload minefield. Good to have another PSP 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!
