        For those interested in learning this process, I have a tutorial on my website called Out of Border HERE.
        and there's a freebie action from PanosFX - with a video tutorial of how to use the action. This works in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop.
        The amount of different creations is endless, so let's see some of your efforts with this fun effect.

              Nice one with the baby Paul. What method are you using for the OOB?

              You need some part of the image to be breaking out of the frame to make this work properly .

            My turn with a uniquely Australian sport. Thank you Gavin Hoey, your tutorials are so easy to follow.

            I should have selected more of the bottom of the image, but I'm pretty happy with the end result.

              Looks good John. I agree more of the bottom might have been better.

              Definitely use the Rectangle tool instead of the Marquee tool - much more control and you can get curves on that frame layer all in one go and it's editable. Once he collapses the 3 layers, that editing component is lost. Also you may want to refine the mask on the OOB layer. You can also add a shadow directly to the Photo layer mask.

              I just noticed that the blue in the background on the left side is just about a perfect match for the blue sky above player 48. More A than C involved in that choice of colour.

            Here's my attempt - thanks to Isac's tutorial.

              I hope the tut wasn't too hard to follow Alan. Good result for first up. Perspective, curved frame and shadows for the next one? Birds are great for these effects and your peli shot is perfect.

              GJ: Sure is.

              Isac. It was pretty straightforward although I had to backtrack once or twice. With PS 'Select Subject' it's easier to just select the whole subject rather than just the out-of-bounds part. I just forgot to do the shadow. The hardest part is working out where to place the frame.

              Glad you worked it out Alan. You can place the frame anywhere, then resize it and shift it around until you're happy with the position. It's a big help if you pick the right image and have some idea of what you want to have OOB, before you tackle it.
              You are right that you can select the whole subject for the way you did the pelican because you had the OOB on the 2 sides, but that's not the usual way for the OOB effect. It won't work if you have the OOB on only one side. Easy enough to deselect bits anyway, after you make the selection.
              I've posted a screenshot of one I did to show the layers. I also posted a suggested border position for you to ponder on.

            And another one. Now that I understand the methodology I will concentrate on refining the selections.

              That one doesn't work as well for me - it looks like he's standing in a boat

            "That one doesn't work as well for me - it looks like he's standing in a boat"

            Not a lot of wiggle room at the top and bottom of the original.

              I'm with Alan, although a change of border shape would be more fitting. The blue strapping inline with the border is a bit confusing because the diameter changes at that point too. I've posted a suggested version.

          • #13
            1. Layers for OOB. You can change the BG to anything you like: Gradient, Gradient Map (Duotone), B&W or even another image. If you don't use the original image for your BG, you can group the layers and move them to you liking.

              Grumpy John. This is just a suggestion to avoid the image having issues with the border. You can even place a bit of shadow on the border under his hands just for a bit of class! Ain't this great fun??

                Cheers John. You can do any shape for the border to get different views and perspectives. All good fun and learning.

              Here's a couple of budgies fooling around on a tree branch. This was borrowed from Ralph's post HERE. I used my FREE Mattes and Frames actions HERE to create the timber frame.

                Thanks for the "Award" Phil. I just love to experiment with the power of PS. I's mind-boggling what is achievable when you start poking about.

                I might if I can get the house to myself so I can concentrate as my oldest Granddaughter is staying with me while the wife is away.
                So maybe when she goes to school and I have caught up with my birding outings as well.
