I can understand pirate541.
You made a beautiful, mysterious creation of your dog.
Like he's in 'another light'.

Losing a pet is like losing a member of ones family.

pirate that is truly beautiful and heartbreaking. As you know, I recently lost my Princess and I cry every morning (she would greet me in the mornings as if she hadn't seen me in years). So every morning my new puppy and I go out onto my patio where I keep a wind chime and we "ring" it for Princess. Of course I stand there talking to Princess and bawling my eyes out.

I like to think of the story of the Rainbow Bridge when I think of all the pets that have gone through the mist.

Lovely pirate. I can see two there clearly...is there more?
Must be hard. I have never had a pet die on me. Daughter and her family recently lost their dog "Zac" and they all took it pretty hard. He was the only dog a couple of her boys had known.

That is a really nice painting effect. Tutorial?
I know how you feel. I just lost my kitty Wayne last year. Have you thought of getting a new buddy?

Beautiful job Pirate, I can understand you, what you did is very moving. We'll always keep them in mind and heart.

I want to thank You All for Your understanding and support.
Yes,Molly,Ella and Dalia,they are family.
SallyAnne,yes I have four more babies.I adopt them for a kill shelter,when I see that nobody want them,which means shelter will kill them otherwise.
The problem is that I can't afford more than 4,the vet bill is too much otherwise.
So when One dies,hopefully of old age,I save another one.

Rod I am sorry about Your loss too.
Here's how i did it:

I used this photo:


Please feel free to use it.
I cropped pictures of my 2 babies,paste them in..because they both have black fur,I had to find the right
spots in the nebula to seat them.
So it is going to be different for each one who is adding something else.
Then I used the eraser to take out extra garbage from the cropping.
merged all layers,then used beautify:smart color then sharpen twice(all default settings)
That's it

Thank you pirate so much. I tried your tutorial with an image of my Princess.

Lovely and moving Dalia.

Dalia
I love it!
