Gary gave me a Photoshop challenge: Open cat Samson’s eyes.
I photographed cat Samson at the Yavapai Humane Society today. He was very nervous and would not come out of his kennel, so I shot him where he was. He would not open his eyes. He will be rephotographed when he is feeling less stressed.
Gary challenged me to open Samson’s eyes with Photoshop. This is just an exercise, we would not use a doctored image for an adoption photo.

Gary used photos of Jasmine (black) and Stella (white) to create this pseudo magazine cover in Photoshop. Pseudo sounds much better than fake, doesn’t it?
Stella did a great job of posing in the studio. I bounced a tennis ball, her eyes followed it. Jasmine looked at the ball from time to time but was disinterested more than not. The trick is to take a lot of photos to get a few with the look or expression you want.

Apple users, thinking about upgrading your OS to Mavericks? The price is right, $0. If you are a heavy user of Adobe products (I use Photoshop and Lightroom), the CS6 and CC versions of these work with Mavericks per Adobe. Here’s the link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html
As for me, I don’t like versions of OS’s that end in .0 So I plan to wait a few weeks and let other, more adventurous souls find the bugs and glitches.
