Rather a painterly effect. The cats fur has an interesting pattern in it. The newspaper layers are defined. The surface of the box has a slight mottled effect. This was all done by using the style tool and choosing effect number two. The background colours add to the composition. I would have liked to get the cat looking more directly at me, but she wasn’t playing tonight! She does like perching on boxes as you can see. I think it looks quite good.

Nice effect, the high contrast and colours are striking!

Yes I thought that. I do like this setting in photodirector but I must try some more options…

I love experimenting in editing software, I’m still constantly learning new tricks in Photoshop just by playing around and I’ve used it for around 20 years!
