Today I will show you how to make an “out of bounds” picture. I’ll take those pictures that I photographed last summer :
and at the end I will have this :
Open the first picture in Photoshop.
The horse from the left side of the image look pretty ok with what I want to do so I’ll make it go out of the picture.
Using Pen Tool select half of the horse. Right click when you finished the selection – Make selection, set 0 px for feather radius. Copy the selection in a new layer and make the layer invisible.
Make a new layer, above the background image, choose Rectangular Marquee Tool and make an rectangular like you see below.
Take the Paint Bucket Tool and fill it with white. Lower the opacity of this layer so that you can see the picture behind it. Ctrl +D to deselect.
Now press Ctrl + T to transform the shape. Right click on the shape and choose Distort.
Now with your mouse select any corner and move it around until you create something that looks like that
Press enter to apply transformation (or you can double click).
Press Ctrl and with the mouse press the layer that contains the white shape. That will select the shape. Go to the background layer, go to Select – Inverse and the press the Delete key.
Make the layer with the white shape invisible.
Making the layer with the horse visible this is what we have so far :
Next we’ll create the picture frame.
Make a new layer above the background.
Select Polygonal Lasso Tool. Keep in mind that the thickness of the frame is thickner on the side that is close to your eyes then the thickness form the other site (in our case the left side of the picture.)
Go to select and Inverse the selection then fill it with white. Now press Ctrl key and click on the layer with the white shape. Select –Inverse again , Delete key.
Hold down Shift and select the layer with the frame and the one with the background image. Press Ctrl + E the merge them into a single layer.
Hold down Shift once more and select the layer with the horse and the one with the background image. Now press Ctrl +T and make them smaller in the same time.
Now let’s take the second picture and place it in our project so that the horse can go there : )
Open the image in Photoshop, restore down the picture so that you can see the both projects. Make sure you have the Move Tool selected and drag the new image into the project we ware working.
Make the same steps as above in order to make the picture framed. Place the layer with the horse above all others.
You should have something like this :
That’s it ! Hope you liked it !
