Out From the Frame Photos

[Steve Randles]

The shape of the frame is limited only by your imagination! In photoshop there is a small triangle next to the selection tool, click that and you should be able to select the oval selection tool. Use that to click drag an oval on your photo. You can then use edit/stroke for your inset line.

BTW Den, that Swan is spot on mate. Well done..

Good tutorial Steve, although mine was done with layers and a bit of pen work to achieve the same result, as CS2 is on my laptop and I'm bored at work 'babysitting' some machinery and my PC here only has elements on and tried it another way.

 

Will definitely give it a go with CS2 as you describe though

These are really kicking off now, with some great results.

 

Now lets see who can come up with an original twist of out the frame.

OK, I happen to have got my hands on CS2 (dont ask ). I've followed the instructions from Steve but after three attempts I keep getting htese lines. What am I doint wrong?

[Steve Randles]

In your layers pallette (bottom right) you'll see all the different layers you have created. 1 will have the inset line on it and another will have the parts of the photograph that you pasted back into the picture.

 

Simply click and hold on the inset line layer and drag it below the pasted layer...play with this and it should work for you.

 

Give me a shout if it does not..and also save your file that your working on as a .psd file so if its necessary you could email it to me to look at.

Tried what you said Steve but nothing was happening. No sliding. I've have to enlarge pics and clone over the line. Looks good still.

You needed to have your border across the bottom of the bloke. The way you've got it at the moment, he's totally out of the frame (no part of him is inside it to be coming out).
