I never expected that I could turn a somewhat blurry photo of a solid grey cat into something as interesting as this week’s Caturday Art Blog Hop submission. With my usual over-kill, I started with my normal photo editing program, Picasa. I used the Lomo-ish, HDR-ish and Orton-ish filters and tinkered with the settings in each one. I believe I used them in the order listed.
On the left below is the original photo after I cropped and lightened it so that Giulietta wasn’t an indistinguishable mass of floofiness. That turned some of her furs reddish. The image on the right is what I had after applying the three filters.
The final creation was made using the Crayon Drawing feature in funny.pho.to.
I am joining Athena and Marie’s Caturday Art Blog Hop again this week. To view the other submissions or add one of your own, click on Athena’s Badge.
