CATURDAY ART [Times Three]

Often it's fun to work the same photo in several different ways.   Sometimes the image
comes out "interesting", sometimes not!  Whatever comes of it though, the process 
is usually one of learning ~ learning to use new tools, layering, mixing colors and
effects ~  seeing what works and what doesn't.  The big problem is when something happens to turn
out rather nice (!!!) it's usually hard to remember "how you got there!"
I had fun with this image this past week, so am showing the original, followed
by three versions.  By and large, all were worked in Adobe Photoshop though I used
Tuxpi for the middle image overall "star" effect.





 BEDTIME STORY
Slightly silhouetted, exposure darkened, overlay of deep blue, sharpened, shadow interior.

TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Tighter cropping, sepia tone overlay.  Extreme sharpening. Lens flare, and Tuxpi stardust.
NEON NITE
The most difficult of the three images.  Full silhouette, desaturated to black and white image.
Individual sections within image colorized.  Full image detail smart sharpened, brightened.

Our images will join Caturday Art, presented each week by
Athena and Marie, Athena Cat Goddess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIE!
