Original is posted below as third photo in each series, as well as what I used in Photoshop below each photograph.

Vintage

Cropped tool vertically, then Adjustments - selected Black and White and didn't move sliders. Next created a new Layer, and with the Eye Dropper selected an orange hue and set the opacity to 20%, and used the Rectangle tool over the entire image to get the final image's hue.

Vintage II

Cropped tool horizontally, then Adjustments - selected Black and White and selected Tint- moved the hue slider to violet at 278˚, moved the saturation slider to 46%, and the Blues slider to -167%. Next created a new Layer, and with the Eye Dropper selected an white and set the opacity to 50%, and finally used the Rectangle tool over the entire image to get the final image's hue.

Dragonflies

First I created a new Layer, choose the pattern stamp at 100% opacity with the tie dye pattern and covered the entire image on the new layer. Then used the Brush tool and selected my personally made dragonfly stamp design with Mode set at Color burn on the new layer. The last thing I did on the new layer was use the Eraser at 100% opacity to vignette the cat back into the composition.

Seeing Stars

First I created a new Layer, choose the pattern stamp at 100% opacity with the herring bone pattern and covered the entire image on the new layer except for the cat. I left the cat revealed. Then used the Brush tool and selected the star design with Normal mode on the new layer. There was something I had checked but I forgot to write it down and now I can't find it either, but it allowed me to have the different colored stars while using the brush tool. The last thing I did on the new layer was use the Eraser at 100% opacity to created defined outline of the cat, and remove the stars which accidentally landed on the cat as well as some of the herring bone pattern.
