Out of bounds effect made simple – Photoshop

It’s high time I made another Photoshop video tutorial. After a few minutes scratching my head thinking what I should do, I took a quick look back through your Quick Shot Questions. One Photoshop question kept coming up which was this… “How did you make that pop up image at the end of the abstract background tutorial?”

The technique is known as out of bounds and as the name suggests the idea is to make part of the image poke out from the frame.

Despite appearances the technique is fairly straight forward when it’s broken down into a few simple steps as you’ll see in this video.

  1. Hi Gavin, I have been trying this project using Elements 8 for Windows but cant find a way to apply the layer mask as I cant find the tool to do it, hints and tips would be appreciated.
