Thread: Tell me about your pet(s)

Aww, hehe! I can imagine.

Oh no no, it looks very real! I only asked because I doubted that they would all just obediently sit there for a pic.

Thanks!

That picture is precious...thanks Burns.

-Sorry about the vids..I don't know what's happened with them...one day i'll get one up that works properly.

Aww Burns Wuvv the pic.

Thanks Bro and Xox

Thank you, Adam! That's a real compliment to my horrid Photoshopping skills! You made my day!

Baaah, as noted above, I only didn't think it was real because they were all sitting together nicely, which I thought would have been near impossible! Your photoshopping skills are awesome.

Really?? Thanks!!!

Burns.. what a wonderful picture of the family!!

I was about to tell Mes that it couldn't be photoshopped because the shadows were too real, haha!

Honestly, I'm not sure why but that's one of the most convincing photoshops I've seen

I think the angles are all right, so the depth is very convincing. Especially the cat on the left, there's really no sign of foul play. Great job!

What breed was he?

Sorry for taking so long to reply. He was a Ragdoll cat. I love how they go limp when you pick them up! There's nothing cuter than a fluffy cat that lets you hug it.

True.. some cats are really standoffish.

What a lovely Christmas picture, Burns. I, too, was going to ask if it's real. But for the same reason Mes did. I was surprised you got them all to pose so well. Great job. It really is pretty convincing.

haha that's cute burns, nice work

I just love how dogs have no problem just letting all their junk hang out like that

Thank you, Clairity, GH, and Ophelia!

Wow, thank you so much, gnome! You have no idea how great that makes me feel!!

I used natural lighting and took a picture of each cat separately in front of the tree, then a picture of the dog in front of the tree about a half hour later. I was worried the lighting angles wouldn't match up because of the difference in time. I extracted each cat and put them in the dog's picture, then did all the shadowing behind the cats free-hand to try to match the dog's. You can tell on the carpet behind the cats that it's not as texturized as the shadowed carpet from the dog, and that was the part that I thought would give it away. I spent about 2 to 2 1/2 hours total on that pic. I'm sooo happy to hear you guys say it looks believable! I'm a complete novice at Photoshop and pretty only know how to extract objects and play with the levels and everything. No where near the skill level as most people on this forum.

Thanks again for the confidence boost everyone!

Reminds me of your avatar.

I've had tons of pets. from birds and fish, to rats, rabbits, turtles and exotic lizards.
I've also lived in the same apartment for 20 years, and everytime a pet dies, we burry them in a small garden plot infront of our porch. If some archeologist in the future digs up this garden plot, theyre brain is going to shutdown trying to figure out what happened there. heh.

My dog when it was a little puppy.
