have you seen this pic? and know how to make it?

[bartman (Bart)]

Just hoping that someone has seen this attached photo and knows how to create it or has some great links to show me how to achieve this.
I'm using PSE 8

I have also attached a pic of the cat I would like to apply this effect to- un processed, uncropped etc etc.

The processed pic was captured from
http://sushibandit.com/?cat=77
BTW some amazing pics on this site....
There are no indications as to who made this pictures or how it was done.
As far as I can see there is no copyright........
Tried google.... but nothing what i'm looking for.

I would appreciate any response!!!!

It's probably done with one of those Topaz plug-ins or any number of fractal generators.

The way I'd tackle it: inversion, selective colour and multiple edge detection/blur routines. Might not get it 100%, but, it'd be interesting to try.

Somehow I thought you might be one of the first to respond H!!! Thank you.
However...... I'm just a beginner........
Love to have a more detailed description.....:}
I realize you might not have the time (-or want to - for that matter...I understand ;>)
I will have a look now in PSE for those effects/terms and have a go!

Thomas.... what does KLU mean??? ( I'm guessing CS stands for creative suite.... which I dont have and yes he is an awesome cat! Zues is his name )

Cheers

CS = clear skies
KLU = keep looking up

I'm not sure if the things you're after are available in Elements, unfortunately, Bart.

The Topaz plug-ins you'll have to purchase. Do a Google search for fractal plug-ins for Elements. You might find some free ones?

Cheers ! thanx H.
Yep PSE 8 is limited to some degree, unfortunately.
I'll keep serchink.
Topaz sounds like a filter that would match a filter for this job ...
going to have a look now!( as well as the fractal plug-ins)

Thanks

I think it's the Fractilius PS plugin:

Your correct Troy!!!

Thanx for the tip!

No worries mate. Pretty cool effects. I had a bit of a play with it some time ago. Seems to work best on shots with strong curves and/or lines. Cat fur works well. Like the effect on the eyes.

[bartman (Bart)]

Must agree.... fur ( or fuzzy texture) , strong contrast and curves.
