Our former cat passed away in August last year, and we’ve been lonely for a cat since then. 3 weeks ago, my parents and I went to an animal shelter on a whim – and ended up adopting this boy! Having him in our life – even just for a few weeks – has changed many things for the better, especially starting off this new year. When editing the original photo in Photoshop, I had fun experimenting with inserting color gradients to create different moods for the spirit of the photo. I utilized a tricolored gradient layer at full opacity, placed below a multiplied layer of the original photo at 100% opacity as well.
