Post processing notes:
ON1 Effects 2025 was used to enhance the texture of the animal’s fur and add a subtle vignette that draws the viewer’s attention to the cat’s eyes. Selective adjustments to the eye area increased contrast, brightness, and color saturation to emphasize the cat’s gaze.Exif information:
