Hi, I am sure you will have an answer from somebody who knows how to do it pro style, I am just an amateur, but to create the kitty style picture I usually do the brightness -> threshold something to the tune of 150 - sometimes even closer to 200 but will depend on the original. and then colour replacer does the job of changing the parts of the photo to desirable colours. I use PSP X but the LO I did for somebody before I used PSP 8
http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/galle...?photo=110364m I seem to remember for PSP 8 I used to have a useful feature on changing the colourschemes on the photo, and "throwing the dice" and looking at different effects was easy, but haven't discovered the same facility in the PSP X yet

Hope it helps you though!
