Title: Pimpernel
Post by: DaveD on September 15, 2007, 22:18:25 PM

I don't seem to have many pics here of my cats other than Sonia, so here's a few assorted ones of Pimpernel, taken recently.

I have always had a soft spot for Pimpernel  :Luv:

What at tail  ;D bet that takes a lot of brushing  :evillaugh:

No brushing at all. he won't put up with it!  :rofl:
I will have to get him used to a bit of brushing, in case in the far future he can't manage to groom himself properly, but for now he manages very well by himself. (He's only 19 months old, or thereabouts.)

Here's a kitten pic of Pimpernel playing with some wool. You can see how much he's grown!

I use Paint Shop Pro. I cut out the bits I want in colour and put them on top of a black & white version of the pic - it's easy, but takes time.
Here's a pic that makes him look braver than he is - I think he's even a bit scared of Sonia!  :rofl:

Cropping makes everything easier. Cats often seem to be worth photographing just after chucking food or litter about, so I try and do a bit of "virtual vacuuming" and cropping saves time!  ;D

if only it was that easy.............. vacuuming, that is ............... :rofl: :rofl: am knee deep in housework at present (can't you tell?!!)

Is that PSP 11 DaveD? I have that one but as yet am still working my way round it....i should read up on it really but i like to find my own (snail) way about  :Crazy:

Must admit the eye and tongue out is great  :wow:

Title: Re: Pimpernel
Post by: DaveD on September 17, 2007, 21:24:05 PM

Yep, PSP 11 it is. I'm still finding my way around it myself!
With that pic I coloured in everything I didn't want, leaving the eyes, nose and tongue, then used the magic wand tool on the coloured in bit, chose invert from the Selection menu and then copy from the Edit menu. Then I went to the black & white version of the pic and chose Paste as New Image, then used the move tool to place it in the right position. Easy!
