alirty for that cat shot, i used two plugins mainly. lucisart and fractalius. first of all, it always have to start with a relatively good photo. Or at least a photo with some kind of mood. it doesn't have to have perfect lighting. just get it close to where you want it to be in your head. spot metered on the cat's white fur to keep ze details. and that's about it camera wise.

now in photoshop. the main thing to do is get rid of some stuff mainly the noise. I use noiseware. the right side of the cat which i filled with black had some ubat nyamuk there. so after lucisizing the cat a bit, duplicate layer, added a levels adjustment layer and pulled in the shadows and pushed the highlights. Masked out the cat with a low opacity brush.

next copy paste all layers, and yeah this is why i get such huge files, i'm using the non destructive method. tongue.gif ok so now i use the eye dropper tool and clicked it on the darkes part of the phot just in case. and used a brush to completely blacken the right side of the photo. at the edges near the cat i switched to a lower opacity.

okay now that we're almost there, i fired up fractalius, adjusted it so that it covers only the highlights with some saturation and applied. and finally a hue/saturation adjustment layer to get rid of excess color.

some dodge and burn on the highlights and shadows, from the window frames all the way to the curtains and cat. and another levels layer for extra punch on the highlights.

phew!! ok for the morning dew, is almost something like the cat but less. much less.

edit: and yeah i don't think fractalius works well with people shots. XD but im working on it tho. I love the higlights it covers.
