Usually my human takes her photos of me into Photoshop, crops them, makes minor (sometimes major) color adjustments, removes distracting background elements and fur on the rug, reduces the noise if it’s too grainy, and sharpens the photo a touch (or a lot) before she deems it worthy of uploading to my blog. But sometimes she gets it right the first time. This photo is pretty much the way it came out of the camera, with just a smidgen of sharpening — no cropping or color or contrast adjustment.
I did not have to work very hard on my pose either!

Sparkle,
I do like your photo a lot ! Look feline and feminine. And the Silhouette is just superb !!!!
Sound like you mom is a professional in Photoshop ! She done a lot of jobs !!!
Amazing woman : )
My mom use Photoshop too but not a lot. Just adjust the color and put her signature. Except the photo is too dark too see, That’s going to be make over the lighting. That’s all she does.
A delightful image. One which you will be proud to show to your grand-kits.
Well, good luck to me on that, considering I’ve been spayed, MOL!
That is a beautiful picture.. Hugs GJ xx
Wat a gorgeous photo! *swoons*
Lovely profile 🙂
You don’t need any “touching” up because you look great 🙂
It turned out exceptionally well!
Silhouettes

Our Mom is trying her best to learn all that stuff about fixing the photos. That silhouette picture is great. Good job Sparkle. Hope all of you have a super Saturday.
That is a cool photo of you, Sparkle. Mom has Photoshop Elements, but she really isn’t any good at editing photos other than cropping.
Your mom does a fabulous job as your pictures are always so purrfect!
Stunning!!

That is a great picture of you Sparkle – your mom is very clever.
luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Beautiful photo… just beautiful!!!
pawhugs, Max
Oh wow. Sparkle, that is a fabulous picture of you. You look very mysterious.
P.S. With your standards, we hope you don’t see the pictures we uploaded to our blog today. Most aren’t even in focus 😛
Now that is a beautiful photo. I love it
this one is really a good shot! you look so beautiful! happy weekend!
Furry nice, Sparkle! The human bean does a little photo editing too, but she can only dream about Photoshop! 🙂
That’s a great shot, Sparkle. Perfect for today’s theme. (which Mom still swears was “mostly black”…)
Yep, this picture is pretty much purrfect – just like you, Sparkle! 🙂 Kudos to you and your human!
It looks like a nice play to be sitting too. I like it.
With great beauty like yours, Sparkle, a gorgeous picture is always assured, but I think your human has outdone herself..this one is stunning! Perhaps you should reward her with a nuzzle…:)
Lynette
Gorgeous. It could be your next book cover. Or maybe a book cover for a book of odes to you, Sparkle.
It is a gorgeous shot.
What a great shot of you Sparkle! My Mommy would love to paint that one!
Nellie
We bet you human is mighty pleased with herself. We want to know why she doesn’t get it right every time?
You and me both!
Sparkle, just when I thought your beauty couldn’t be improved upon! My oh my!
Beautiful photo!

That photo is so very artsy and mysterious! Kudos! Sometimes we luck out with that PURRfect shot which needs no adjustment.
By the way, I saw you comment on another blog that you only weigh around 6 lbs.! That is even smaller than my Domino! You have a big PURRsonality and PURResence, so I thought you were a bigger kitty. I can only imagine what you would look like standing beside my Dante who weighs in at 21 lbs.!
Next to Dante, I would probably look like a toy kitty! BTW, humans who have met me in person after just seeing me on my blog always say they thought I would be bigger.
You look very pretty, it’s a great photo.
Stunning!!!
Beautiful photo, Sparkle!
Wow, your human really puts a lot of work into each photo – now I’m totally ashamed of what I post! Thank you again for your comments regarding my dad. All of the comments were really comforting during a totally crappy week. I hope you have a great weekend!

Yes, for kitties this is a most natural pose.. you always seem to know your best side.
Mine is here.
Great colors! Love your tail, so fluffy 🙂
Beautiful, Sparkle!!
It is a beautiful pic of a lovely ladycat!
That is a gorgeous picture, Sparkle!
This photo of you is simply stunning! We agree, no editing needed!!
Sparkle, that is a gorgeous photo of you! There is no improving on purrfection!
that photo is exquisite….that is definite contest material should one arise!
Why fuss with purrfection!!!
That is a lovely picture! How elegant and thoughtful you look.
perfect silhouette! 🙂 love it.
Hi Sparkle,
Your human is getting better in photography. But Ultimately it is the model that makes the photo.
You look maaaarvelous! SOOC! I am impressed!
