another pse question

[kellyLynne]

Okay, you all helped me out a lot with my last questions about layering...thanks much!!

Another question, have you ever seen the pics with a small border around them, and part of the Pic itself comes out and over the border, whether it be someones hair, leg, whatever...how the heck can I do that ? I have pse4. It would make my week if I could figure that one out.

Here is an example of this.

If you search in this forum or on the internet for 'border breakout' or 'out-of-bounds' (OOB) you will find a lot of tutorials.

The technique you are referring to goes by the name of Border Breakout. If you are subscriber there is a great video tutorial by Dave Cross in the Subscriber's Area.

If you are not a subscriber - do a search for "Border Breakout" and you will find lots of links - its a popular topic. I can't help you based on personal experience cuz` I have never tried it - looks pretty straightforward though.

So, if you need more info, as always, :D There will be someone along shortly who knows more about this than I ...

Good luck

Here is another written for Photoshop which is still do-able in Elements if you have Grants Layer Mask (or use the eraser to remove the background).

Can this be done in PSE 5?

[Bayla]

Sue,

Yes - although you'll have to modify the tutorial that I posted for it as it was for Photoshop so a workaround is needed. I'm working on it but haven't had a lot of time......if I ever get around to finishing it and posting something I'll let you know what I did.

Bayla

[elwoodsusanm]

Thank you I would like that. Can we make the 'holes in the paper' in PSE5?:confused:

[Bayla]

Sue,

Take a look at THIS THREAD (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26164&highlight=breakout+tutorial). It's quite long but on the later pages Christell and Jean managed to come up with this sort of idea - of something bursting through the picture.

For the curled back pages I thought of following a page curl tutorial or getting a ripped and torn hole from one of the scrapbooking sites - HERE''S (http://www.designerdigitals.com/ecom/product_info.php/products_id/3577)an example.
