Fun with Photoshop

The photography course I just finished included a few weeks of playing in Photoshop, learning how to make our images really come alive. There are a few tricks I've enjoyed playing with, and I decided to turn my attention to an old picture of my parents' cat. He's a lovely creature, but the source image never really did him justice:


After a little playing, I've ended up with a picture that I think is much closer to what the cat actually looks like in real life.
