I was playing around in photo shop and took a recent Ritz picture and turned it "negative"...... what do you think?

That looks cool:cool: how'd you do it?

Woah! Neato!
I wonder how it would look if you did that to a picture of tabby cat....

You can get the negative of your picture by using a photo editing program which comes with an option to make a negative of it!

Here's the negative of Nakita, with Rob in the background holding her.

Yeah I figured. I don't have a photo editing program, but I could use one of the school computers. In the mean time I'll enjoy looking at everyone elses "negatives"! Ooooh, Nakita looks like her fur got rubbed backwards! LOL

Oh Nakita, with violet eyes you are very special too:)

And Ms Ritzy -this looks like a tux for the tropics:D

Love the pics! What a cool idea tuxluvr.

I made my negatives with an option on the digital camera. :) But it's fun taking color pics and turning them into negatives with Photoshop. :D

Here's Zam cat as a Negative. :D

And Kia wanted to share hers.. :)

Cool Zam! I was hoping a patchwork calico would do this - Zammie looks like she is lying under a shade tree - the white spots look like dappled sunlight!

And Kia.....you would command respect - those glowing eyes!

I had that same problem too, but I ended up using "invert" and I think it does the same thing.

Here are my pictures

Ah! You caught me! I thought it was in Filters but now I can't find it. :o

It's been a long time since I've turned a photo into a negative with Photoshop.

I use Photoshop 6 at work, btw.

Hmmmm...

Here's a nice site... maybe we'll find the answer there...

I found a simple solution in Microsoft Photo editor - You can select "negative" or in plain old MS Paint you can "invert" the colors.

Attached is a negative of one of Mitzi's "furby" pics :D (I'm playing at work ... shhhhhhhhhh!) :D

Funny idea - and interesting pictures! :) Zam looks like a painting.

I did something like that with Luna a while ago, here she is:

http://www.tillyschanze.de/luna_inv.jpg

BTW, I find inverting is such an interesting option! :) I have an entire page with inverted pics on my photo website (http://home.t-online.de/home/0554132997-0005/page5.htm) (but no cats! LOL)

Corkscrew is a tabby too, his pictures are on the first page.

Kater
09-08-2003, 03:54 PM
Right! DUH! He's an organie!

I suppose what I was getting at is.... I wanted to see what Nipo would look like 'inverted.' So then Corkscrew didn't register as a Nipo-look-alike. But he is a VERY HANDSOME BOY! who I didn't mean to leave out! :D

And I thought Tubby turned out interesting. Thought he'd be kinda boring with all his black, but he has shading. Kinda looks like Butter. :D And I love his little black locket. :D

The ones of the all black cats are really interesting! You can actually see the variations in their color, whereas when they are all black, they just look black and you can't see any variations.

Here it looks like Ebby's feet are actually blacker than the rest of her leg. Like she has little black socks on that we can't normally see. Neat! :D

It's especially interesting to see the "All Black" cats - there are actually so many subtle shades in their fur!

Great pictures everyone!:D What cool effects the negative has on all the cats, they all look so different!

For anyone who hasn`t found the effect on their program, you can do it on Imagestation with Edit image/Effects/Invert and, to keep the original intact, finish with the copy save. I just did my sig.....

tuxluvr!!! I wish I thought of that before! I always play with my pictures, invert them all the times, sometimes I find something new..scary, strange looking of it. but when I got tired of inverting, I tried something different! look here! "curve" I curved it and it looked tOtALLy cool.. more colours and close to invertion! and I never can find something best than to that picture. check! tell me what you think...

here's my beloved lost cat, freccia.
