Since the usual supurb edits have been done, I thought I'd have a play with masks and brushes.

In camera raw I gave it a kind of grungy look by upping the contrast, clarity and saturation.

Place a black layer over this and add a layer mask. Reduce the opacity to about 80% until you see the cat start to emerge.

Using a large soft brush bring the cats nose, eyes & mouth back. When you are happy, bring the opacity back to 100%.

Select a splash brush and with the brushes opacity at about 50%, dab in black on the mask to bring back the ears and other parts of the cat you want visible.

On a new layer, paint with the same brush the splashes using different parts of the cat for colours and varying opacities. Use the smudge tool to give them a motion effect. Since these are on their own layer you can adjust the opacity of the layer to get the effect you want.

Put a new layer under the mask layer and with a large, soft warm brush paint around the light areas and along the left side of the cheek. Change the blend mode to soft light and reduce the opacity of the layer to give a warm glow effect. If you need to remove any use a mask.

Using the colour you have just created, go back to the splash brush and add a few more splashes around the picture.

Save as jpg and post to UHH.

I go with jeep_daddy, my eyes went straight to the bruise.

I got a box like that with an SD card in it so it must be a universal issue.

Welcome to the forum.
Look at "All Sections" at the bottom of the page and click on the various specialist subjects that you are interested in. It will make your home page easier to navigate.

I think if I left the house without my D 800 with the 24 - 70 f2.8 attached I would tilt to one side, I am that used to carrying it.

Go to the gradient tool and select the gradient picker (3rd from left).

If the gradient you require is not there, click on the gearwheel (settings) in the top right hand corner of the box and a dropdown menu will appear.

Click on Reset Gradients and the default gradients should reload.

Hope this helps.

I like the captured reflection in Twiggy 3, but all are well shot and a very attractive model.

Like the licence plate!

Who says it won't work?

Sorry, got mixed up. This was Gracie Fields!

One of her songs, The Thing-Ummy Bob is used today in the UK for an advert for Square Card payments.

As well as the troops, she paid tribute to the people in the service industry that kept the military 'machine' running.
The words go:-

I'm the girl that makes the thing
that drills the hole that holds the ring
that drives the rod that turns the knob
that works the thing-ummy bob

Thanks RogStrip, your reply came up as I was typing mine.
I've done as you suggested and will have to wait and see now.

Me too jerryc41 and they are driving me crazy (right over the layer options in photoshop).
Like yourself, I've looked everywhere in settings and can't figure out a way either. Lets hope someone finds a solution.

Alan.
