Mini Competition: Out of Bound

[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?

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.

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n56/dozerlyp/IMG_02601.jpg

[BASmith]

Glad you revived it as I had never seen it.

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

[Serrator]

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.

[jacmurphy]

my very feeble 1st 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.

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o53/Hard12Find/Favorites/hotpinkcopy.jpg

[jacmurphy]

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

[DozerLYP]

Here's one more...

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

[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 .

http://www.88qv.com/net/083.jpg

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.

http://www.88qv.com/net/084.jpg

[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!

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!!

First time for me to

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...

[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:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/serrator/153507433/in/set-72157594146002408/

[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.

[Serrator]

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

[DozerLYP]

I had to make something to revive this thread. And CS4 has it too ;)

[Serrator]

Cool transition OOB! Well done.

[BASmith]

Im not sure how you get such smooth color transitions Dozer, but it is definatly something I would love to master.

Nice stuff as always.

[DozerLYP]

Thanks.

Im not sure how you get such smooth color transitions

It's actually easy, the color layer is on top of the b&w layer, and I just use a very large soft eraser brush and erase the part that I want in b&w.

[DozerLYP]

here's one more

http://dozerlyp.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p1070895382-4.jpg

[hopmedic]

It's been a while since I did one of these, but I thought this one would be a good one to do as an OOB. The downside, though, is that the hair and whiskers of animals is difficult!

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/hopmedic/OOB/LionYawnOOB.jpg

[kfairhurst]

I had a quick go at it.http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1023/3171875995_8446f9833e.jpg

[hopmedic]

I've been playing with PS, and came up with this. I'm not so good with PS yet, but learning a bit at a time.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/hopmedic/OOB/GlacierGirlOOB.jpg

[hopmedic]

I did this one using color channels instead of desaturating. Also, moved the drop shadow layer a bit, and did a little refining. Never touched channels before, so not sure if I did it right. I don't see much difference, IMHO. Anyone else?

EDIT:

I just had to try that OOB thing out, so here's what i came with:

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4830/dscf8630pq3.jpg

[hopmedic]

Nice, pasimetes. I like it! If you add a drop shadow, though - it would really pop!

[hopmedic]

This one's not from a very good picture, but I wanted to try the concept.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/hopmedic/OOB/ArchOOB.jpg

some great stuff in here :D, im a little disappointed that some haven't taken more time to finish their work a little better with the drop shadows, or even to give the frames a little DoF..

I am just learning how to do this. I am having major problems making the border. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

I just found out about oob yesterday. It'll be my new obsession for a while. Thanks to a very good Elements walk through, this is really my second attempt.

[Lore]

Oh man when I saw this I knew I just HAD to learn how... this is just my first try :o but I wanted to share it anyway. I KNOW this is an effect i'll revisit again and again. :cool:

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/silentlore/matthew_oob.jpg

[Kendoway]

Oh man when I saw this I knew I just HAD to learn how... this is just my first try :oops:

You put a "blushie" face on your first OOB, after hitting one out of the park? That looks GREAT Lore!

I just did my first one too for the "Before & After #172". It was a heck of a lot of fun, and I want to try more now. Hope nobody minds a re-post. Dozer, I'd especially appreciate any feedback you have, as you seem to be the master.

http://i43.tinypic.com/28cj96o.jpg

[Ocron]

After seeing Kendoways b&a and looking through some of these I'm juiced to do another. Here are a few I've done...nothing spectacular but I had fun doing them.

http://ocron.zenfolio.com/img/v8/p83649909-4.jpg

[DozerLYP]

these are all very good first go at it.

One thing that really makes it look real, is the shadows. Always try to have the same light direction that the picture has while making your shadows.
You'll master this with some practice and by trying different effect.

Serrator has made these tutorials (http://www.logicscape.com/oob_tutorials/) for you to use. give them a try.

[DozerLYP]

This thread is dying, time to wake it up.

I just finished this one.

http://dozerlyp.zenfolio.com/img/v2/p362225759-4.jpg

[Kendoway]

^^^ Nice (opera clap + golf clap). The shadows are perfect, and reflected skin tone on the back of the page is a nice touch.

[DozerLYP]

yep, and like you can see, I always use Canon paper in my Canon printer. ;)

[Bobster]

its a great effort :) but it would work better if you used some canon paper, bent it into shape and then took a photograph with it on the table, then merged the 2 shots

[Kendoway]

Yeah, but that takes away all of the fun of cursing %$#&* Photoshop and the &^@!)( layers, and the &^!@+) masking after the initial shot :lol:

[joayne]

Great Job there Doze!

[DozerLYP]

yeah, their is no fun in merging 2 image together, unless it's to make a multiple personality shot. :lol:

[Kendoway]

Here are some interesting OOB inspirations. Some of his work appears to be physical cut-outs that have been pasted in place and shot in situ, but many (in my humble opinion) have been shopped after the fact, with DOF tricks and multiple layers.

Enjoy :)

* Subscribed *

Looks like another excellent thread to develop some GIMP skills....

As to Thomas Allens' book, Kendoway, did you notice that in many of those shots, the table-top is exactly the same? Same angle, same cracks.
It's as if it is just the table on which he stands cut-out figures with the lighting just so.....and probably his camera on a tripod in the same position.
I love the creativity to come up with such a concept, but after the 5th or 6th, I thought, "Next....?"
Honestly, I think the posts in this thread show more skill, but it's just my opinion.

[Kendoway]

Anyway, here's my daughter on the SeaDoo with my pastor.


That's a nice one Rich! You might consider cloning out the water spray on the leading edge of the SeaDoo (the part that's OOB), as I think it will add to the illusion. Otherwsie, awesome!


Honestly, I think the posts in this thread show more skill, but it's just my opinion.

I agree Simon. Nobody had posted in here for 2 weeks, so I was simply giving it a wee tweak ;)

[skygod44]

Well...it's just my first play, but couldn't subscribe without adding.
:D

[DozerLYP]

good one.

[Kendoway]

^^ Yep, a good one Sky.

Try the tilted/distorted/perspective frame next time, it adds some extra punch.

Try the tilted/distorted/perspective frame next time, it adds some extra punch.

Thanks for the "thumbs-up" Dozer and Chris, and I'll play more with the frame and background next shot, too. That first try only took me about 25 minutes as I felt guilty after all the model-tilt-shift entries not to post a shot after subscribing. But I'll have another go VERY soon!
:D

[DozerLYP]

yep, and don't forget to add a drop shadow to the picture to create a separation from the background.

I am not a wedding photographer, and not trying to become one, but a young couple at church asked me to do their wedding, and I was glad to be able to do it for them. Here are a couple that I played with from the before-wedding shots.

Trying to give this a go.. i still cant do it.. all these tuts seem so complex.. lol

Here's the one that I followed that helped... http://www.flickr.com/photos/serrator/sets/72157594146002408/

[hopmedic]

Serrator's tutorial is the one I use (the one linked to in the above post). It really is simple. The hardest part about it is hair. For starters pick a pic that has only smooth edges where you will want to cut out, until you get the hang of it. I haven't done this enough to have the steps memorized, so I just saved his pdf version of the tut on my desktop and have it open while I do the editing. Show us something and we'll help you out!

[hopmedic]

Oh, and in the one with the groom and his men, each drop shadow I created as a separate layer. There's probably an easier way, but I don't know it. And with the drop shadows, create the shaded area with a larger part of the person you want to have a shadow of, then move it, and mask out what you don't need. Be careful, because the only place you want the shadow - at least for the effect I was looking for - was on the frame itself.

[Kendoway]

Here are a couple that I played with from the before-wedding shots.

The bride (and gals) shot works really well Hop, because of the downward angle. Love it. I'd go back maybe and re-lasso/magic wand the hair again and see if you can get that a little sharper. Nice one :)

[GregSteer]

Just came across this thread today, though I'd have a go, will try again as I'm not happy with the perspective of the frame on this one but hey, it was a first attempt :)

http://www.darklight.org.uk/images/potn/oob/001_IMG_6869-Edit-Edit_Web1024.jpg

[hopmedic]

Greg, I like the power of the perspective on the cross. I agree on the frame, I'm not sure how I would do that one, but I think that cross would make a good "power" shot for a church slide.

Edit:
Scratch that.... The more I look at it, the more I LOVE it. I really love that shot.

[hopmedic]

Try it with the drop shadow from the cross landing on the frame, but not on the background and see how that looks, too. That could give it more depth, I think. But yes, try again - that shot is really worth doing something with.

[hopmedic]

I think I'll have to go find a cemetery, with a cross that's old, and see what I can come up with. I'd like to use something like this on a slide at church (I'm in charge of the sound/video booth). Thanks for a great shot to give me a great idea!

[Serrator]

Awesome first go! I like it!!

[hopmedic]

Greg, your image inspired me to stop at a cemetery tonight and wander around with my camera. Next time I think I'll take something to stand on, though. I have a few shots to play with, but I couldn't look through the viewfinder while taking them, as I'd need to be about 4' taller. I want a shot of a weathered cross like yours though, to use at church. I'll find one, but for the moment, I'll play with what I got tonight.

[hopmedic]

Ok, here's my attempt.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/hopmedic/OOB/IMG_5230OOB.jpg

[GregSteer]

@ hopemdic: Liking it, framing is more on the right plane than mine - I'd be tempted to go a bit tighter on the base on the left side and tone down the bg noise a little. Have you tried a duo tone on it (yeah I'm a sucker for toning it seems)?

@ Serrator: Thanks and dammit, looks like I've got to make the next ones better than the first ;-)

[hopmedic]

Not sure what you mean by duo tone - that's a new one on me.

[GregSteer]

Not sure what you mean by duo tone - that's a new one on me.

Had to rack my head on how to explain it.

It's called Split Toning in Lightroom or duotone in Photoshop - or simply toning elsewhere.

You can set a colour to be used for shadow tones and another for highlight tones whilst altering the balance inbetween.

The frame / background on my shot are example of it (although not strictly true as I picked two colours and did a gradiant fill but you get the idea)

Couple of image links to explain:

Orignal Pano (http://www.darklight.org.uk/images/potn/landscapes/brianconpano_Web1024_001.jpg)
Warm Brown Toned (http://www.darklight.org.uk/images/potn/landscapes/brianconpano_Web1024_001-3.jpg)
Cool Blue Toned (http://www.darklight.org.uk/images/potn/landscapes/brianconpano_Web1024_001-2.jpg)

Ok - here's number 2 - decided to try a different image instead of repeating the first one, think it came out ok although I still need to improve my backgrounds and framing.

WAY COOL!

i haven't checked in here in ages, some great work being done. Gives me something to aspire too.

Greg, that last one is awesome, has great impact.

I forced him at gunpoint!

It's a really great OOB in my opinion - love it.

[izthistaken]

He did. Gun at my head.


Thanks Christian!

Glad you did post it!..

My post must be 4 years old by now :)

That a nice one Slicer. You might try adding some more shadow from her body onto the picture frame to see if it heightens the effect.

Exactly right Kendoway, I was so involved with adding the light, chair, frame plate and then putting in the shadows for that stuff and the glove...after I posted I said......S..T, I forgot about her....DUH.

I've got to give this a try

Hurray for resurection. I like it, especially the yellow bg toning. One thing, just above the prop cowl there appears to be a bit that's not masked out correctly as it covers the bg and frame?

You've reminded me to try another when I find a suitable subject.

That section that's not masked was difficult to decide what to do with it - it is the third blade of the prop. While I like the position that I put the frame in relation to the plane, prop blur is difficult to mask. I'll have to learn a lot better techniques in Photoshop if I'm going to be successful with prop blur masking.

Thanks!

Ahh, that explains it then!

Transparent sections are a nightmare aren't they. You could cut out the prop sections to another layer in PS and then "fiddle" (hell thats my limit with those sliders) with the blend if sliders of the layer, that should make some of the grey sections transparent...but someone with more experience than me might be able to offer more advice on those.

Still loving the colour.

[hopmedic]

Thanks, Greg!

The scale's off, the perspective isn't what I was looking for, but I thought it would make a neat concept, so why not try?

Hey, this thread needs an update!

Here's my first try at out of bound, be kind. I've made it simple, but it was hard enough already :p

Nice one David, though you need a bit more shadow under the image boundary, IMO. Fun though, isn't it?!

It is! There is a lot of room to improve thought! I know a big lot about Lightroom but I'm pretty new with photoshop.

I had a hard time making the picture frame looking like 3D, any tips?

I'm afraid I'm a GIMP-lover (see the sig.!) and I'm ashamed to say I've not added to this thread for way too long, but in Photoshop you must have at least as many tools as I have in GIMP....
So, you need to look into adding a shaded area under the frame. In my current projects (which are paid for, and won't ever come into POTN!) I use layers and masks so that I can 'pull through' to the photo layer as much or as little as I want.
If you're new to pixel-level editing, don't stress....it just takes time to rethink the world of the photo! And it's great fun when you show clients what you can do, compared to their 'friend who has a digital camera...'
:D
Regards for now,
Simon

These are absolutely awesome, im am definitely going to try this.

Thought I might Resurrect this thread.
I discovered "The Oob" some years ago on another forum and thought it was great fun. Actually became pretty addicting. I was always looking for a shot that would "Oob" well.
Here's a few of mine from a few years back. I may have to start the search all over again for the ultimate shot to Oob.
