I have a specific task I want to do.
I want to take some photos of cats and alter their color without it looking fake. I am trying to illustrate a children’s book, and a couple of the main characters are solid white. I have not been able to find anybody with some solid white long haired cats who are friendly and easy to photograph.
But, I do happen to have two longhaired bluepoint cats. They are mostly white with light grey points (face, ears, feet, and tail). I can photograph them anytime I want to get the poses I need.
Is there a good technique for lightening the grey points so that the cats appear white? I have tried reducing contrast, working with greyscale photos, and the dodge tool. So far, I have been happiest with the dodge tool, though I haven’t been able to get it to look natural yet.
Anybody every do anything like this? Which techniques worked the best for you?
