Rules are simple. Edit this image in anyway that you see fit, all you have to do is post the steps you took to achieve your final product. Its a neat way to see what other people have done and learn from their steps and to also improve your own processing skills.

lol poor kitty
First I pasted a lion over the top of the kitty and then matched up the noses. Erased all areas I didnt want to show. Next I cloned the kitties fur on top of what was left of the lion so it would blend in.
Merged layers. used the warp tool for the eyes and ears on a duplicate layer and then merged again.
Then I used the pick tool to draw a selection of the background and then pasted it onto the other side to complete the back ground.
For the blood on the teeth I used the change color tool and simply erased any areas that were too red. This of course was also done on another layer. Merged layers and cropped.
Duplicated one last time and applied Niks midnight effect and then erased around the teeth. Now we have evil kitty

Cheshire Cat (apologies to Lewis Carroll)



Selected center of picture with feathered edge
Played with colors "to taste"
Changed eyes to a red.
Selected and copied a picture of a grin, and pasted onto the new cat, cleaned up with the eraser.
Added new background with pale color and reduced opacity, and blended.

Fiery Feline

Here's how I did it: (In Photoshop CS2)
1. Used the Redfield Fractalius Plugin and chose the Glow 50 option
2. Cloned out some of the light streaks from the background
3. Adjusted curves and saturation to bring out some color
4. Cropped the image and added a neon color border

dragged photo of man and with free transform adjusted size and positioned the face on top of cat's face. used layer mask to blend face of man with face of cat. merged the layers and erased the surrounding image, made a new layer and filled with black. dragged photo of moon and adjusted size and position. on another layer, painted the clouds over the moon.

You guys crack me up!!!
What would you think if I posted 2 images and you guys had to figure out a way to edit one or both? Are you up for it?

Opened original picture, opened tongue as layer and masked out unwanted portions, scaled, messed with layers and duplicated, did an edge select filter on the duplicated layer and turned it into an overlay, selected (with fuzzy edges) the area around the pupils and filled with black, slightly reduced the opacity of the tongue layer, flattened.

This poor cat has had one rough week! Lots of fun edits!
