[snedigity]

I am no where near as talented with this as you all but I decided to give it a shot today.

Surely you mean 'Boundary'?

... in case you're planning on printing a few hundred of these ;-)

[snedigity]

Whoops good catch. I guess adobe need to have spell check.

[Rigrider]

Photoshop HAS spell check:

EDIT>CHECK SPELLING

nice anderson but your drop shadow should go the other way right?

[Serrator]

This is a 3 picture stitch that I OOB'd of a mastodon skeleton from the Mastodon Historic Site near St. Louis.

[DozerLYP]

this is a very nice one serrator...

[Charles Richards]

omg. that's all I can say. I've spent the last week modifying my photos with selective color. now I'm going to have to spend another week playing with this.

I'm going to fail school now that I've gotten into photography and post processing :p

[DozerLYP]

here i was bored, so i made an other one to revive this thread.

[BASmith]

Glad you revived it as I had never seen it.

Kind of new here. Here's my go at it.

Dozer...awesome OOB and compositing work! Great masking work as well on all those poles.

[Evil Toad]

I used the tutorial that Serrator made to make this one. It is my second OOB attempt.

[Kafn8td]

I didn't have a hi res to work with, but it came out pretty good

[Serrator]

-Well done Toad! Perfectly done masking job.

-jac...that hurts me just to look at her contortion. :) Nice work on the OOBing.

-kaf...he is way-out of bounds...cool stuff.

[DozerLYP]

Great work guys. keep them coming...

[hard12find]

Here is one I did some time ago, while reading a book by Scott Kelby, I was really impressed by the ones with added perspective, looks like I need to practice more.

[jacmurphy]

Spent a bit more time on this one. (Well a lot more) Thanks to Serrator for the tutorial

[DozerLYP]

Here's one more...

[Serrator]

Awesome creations guys! I see you are getting into the warped frame...well done!

[monty28428]

Dozer that is a great job!!

[Sorarse]

Have only just caught this thread, and have to say that there are some amazingly wonderful creations in here. Especially like the firetruck by Dozer, just above, combining the out of frame with the change from B&W to colour. That works so well and makes for an absolutely wonderful image.


ETA

I've now been through Serrator's tutorial and had a go with this .

Hope no one minds me resurrecting an old thread.

[wabbit]

I don't.. Great macro ..
here's one I did 2 weeks ago

[Sorarse]

Inspired by Dozer's firetruck, I did one of my own car. Unfortunately PS7 doesn't have the facility for 'warping' (at least not directly, I can't figure if there is a getaround by some other method) so it still has straight borders.

[Miniflash]

Nice try tho Derek ..looks good :)

[Serrator]

-Soarse...you should have had a flyswatter coming in as well! :) Very well done...nice shot too! Cool car OOB as well!

-wabbit...cool convergence OOB work. Kinda has the Escher-ish feel to it!

[aRKay]

[Serrator]

I have elements 5 cant seem to get past the mask part the tutorials get way to hard for my speed any step by step ones the ones ive seen are good but get way to hard there has to be a better way.

I have elements 5 cant seem to get past the mask part the tutorials get way to hard for my speed any step by step ones the ones ive seen are good but get way to hard there has to be a better way.

try this tutorial, I used it for Element v3.0 and it worked fine. Pretty simple when you get used to it. (although Photoshop cs is easier)

Thanks Serrator and wabbit for the comment! =)

[melita]

I'm rubbish at Photoshop but after Serrator's excellent tutorial, I came up with this. What do you think, for a first attempt?
http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=ytfa2s&outx=800&quality=100

It's lucky I stumbled across this technique because I liked this recent photo of an off-road trip but the sky in the background was blown out and there were some power lines crossing the photo. This has enabled me to get rid of the sky completely.

Kevin.

[Serrator]

Wow...super job Kevin! Nicely done all the way around!!

[sanctuary]

First time for me to

I was able to combine a couple of my hobbies as well :D

Time Warp Green Mist

[fire34fighter]

Here's one more...

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/firetruck2.jpg

WOW. Amazing job.

[fire34fighter]

Well this seems to be harder than it appears....I've been trying to make my frog appear as if he's "out of bounds" and sitting on top of a flat picture of the gras he's really on....but it hasn't been going too well..

Heres the shot if anybody wants to give it a try and explain to me how they did it, because after 2 hours I'm still lost...

[Serrator]

Well done sanctuary on your composite OOB.

fire34fighter...I had a play with your cool looking frog image:

fire34fighter...I had a play with your cool looking frog image:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/Serrator/frog.jpgWow what a great job! Any chance I can get the PSD file to look at to see how you did it?

[DozerLYP]

Thanks fire34fighter, and don't give up, 2 hours is the least you'll spend sometime to make one look awesome. the more time you spend on it, the better result you'll get.

[fire34fighter]

Gave another picture a try....Anybody have any tips? Things I did good? things I need to work on?...Heres an image...One with a white background, one with a black background...which one works more?

[PeteJaffa]

I'll throw one in here.

[sanctuary]

I found a very helpful video tutorial Here (http://www.thedigitalphotographyconnection.com/pfdp_player.php?ID=48) from The Digital Photography Connection web site that helped me with my attempts.

This is my latest attempt, a picture of one of the twins Hand.

Grace's Hand, being twins I needed to show which hand belonged to which twin with in the picture and not by the picture title.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/sanctuary77/Photography/Graces-Hand-BBO-Cropped-websize.jpg

I think it works ?

[badgerstudios77]

Wow, some amazing work from all of you.. I had to try this myself.. much harder than I thought.. LOL.
well, here is my first attempt!

Great thread. Here is my 1st shot at OOB:

[charavann]

Hello everybody,
Few months ago that i'm interested in Out Of Bound, all your pictures here are nice.
It seems easy but i can not make even an easiest one.
could you please give me some basic technic to do it. I actually use PhotoShop 7.0
Thank.

[Serrator]

Try this tutorial:

[charavann]

Thank you Serrator for the link and tutorials (dino).
I use Adobe PhotoShop 7.0 and Adboe PhotoShop CS, but there is no "Warp" in Edit-Transformation.

Yes, only CS2 & CS3 have the warp feature. To some extent you can bend the frame with the liquify tool.
