 This was a ho hum image of Mr. Tiggs in a tree. First I tonemapped the raw image in photomatix. then...
- crop
- applied LucisArt Whyeth
- applied Imagenomic Portraiture
- duplicate cat's right eye in new layer set to screen blend mode
- duplicate image, flatten, desaturate with channel mixer, change mode to grayscale, change to duotone with pantone yellow, copy back into original as layer and set to 78% opacity
-add ErinM's wonderful overlay in hard light, opacity 39%

-add overlay from flicker (that I'll have to track down and credit) in multiply mode at 100%

Here's the hideous original

I wish more people would realize the potential that their "ho-hum" images have - you done good with this one!

as if it was taken out of an 19th century nature book (well, except for the collar), great color processing and perfect overlay. How to turn a snapshot into art!

No kitty picture could be completely hideous - but your remake is
fabulous. Congratulations on an excellent interpretation
of Mr. Tiggs.
