Very nice tut there spd_freak, i'm a big fan of your creations.
Keep up the great work.

Regards Gabrielle

I just see the problem in retouching the placements around roller coaster..

But amazing tutorial. Good description as well...

I tried it and came up with this.
Thanks for sharing the tut spd_freak.

Regards Gabrielle

nice pic man thanks

Awesome Gabrielle. I like it....alot

If I could suggest just one thing.... and alot of people are forgetting/or not wanting to do it.... and that is to create a shadow layer before using the shear filter. It gives it more realism. The "photo" is bending (kewl).... but the shadow normally wouldn't..... Hmmmmmmmm.... maybe this is just me.

Thanks so much for the comments. And I must give you credit for introducing me to these OOB's... Kewl. If I hadn't of been impressed by your works, I probably wouldn't have tried one of these

Very nice, i think this method is perfect for professional presentation !

Wow wonderfull fotos how you did make this really great

neat effect


just testing my brand new CS2 9.0, two images merged - girl (extracted) and tiger with background, several layers used.

p.s.
used little bit different technique, but the result is (almost) the same.

All this time I have known you I never knew you used PS

Hidden skills or what, can't wait for the tuts

here's one of the first things i've made on photoshop, just trying it out. hopefully i'll eventually be able to do something like spd. great job

Thanks, i just realized that that was my older one, and the shadow for my arm isn't very good. so far, i love it here, it's an awesome site.

Glad to hear you critique your own work........

try and give your hand shadow a Gaussian Blur and perhaps lower the opacity of all the shadows

Here's a retouched pic.

Well what can I say DeepShallow..... other than a fantastic effort and a Grand final result..... Well Done and Thanks for sharing your talent.

Wow, thank you spd. i'm trying to find more pictures that i can do this with so i can try something more extreme than just an arm sticking out, and maybe something like your roller coaster one.

that's nice, I lke this forum

Here's another one. i jutted the shadow down and to the right to make it more of a real shadow by being off the the side, and i made a gradient from the top left to bottom right (clear to black) and lowered the opacity to around 50 to give it a more photo look, and to give the picture a shadow in the lower right corner. i also used the elliptical marquee tool for the glare and just made an oval. unfortunatly, the picture itself doesn't look that 3D, i'm pretty much just coming out of it which doesn't look as cool. oh, and by the way...it's me pretending to "breakdance"

i have a question with spdfreak_95. how do u get the roller coaster to come out of the picture then connect into the next picture...if there any tutorial for that?

i might be able to answer this, but not to the full extent of what spd could explain. he extracted the part of the rollercoaster that's coming out, and made the frames around the other parts that are inside the 'picture', but erased the white that are over where it's supposed to be popping out of the frame. and by just selecting the picture parts separately, you can just shear that, then try to match up the two parts the best you can. i hope that helps. just ask if you have any more questions.

I was wondering if someone might ask me this question..........

This one might be a bit hard to explain...... so please bare with me.

The pervious answer is correct... ie By extracting the BG etc.
But the white border around each of the photos was the part that was "Sheared", not the "Photos" themselves......... Still with me here?"........ This gave the illusion that I had put a bend on the photo
I then used the white sheared border curve to erase, via a mask, the "photo" content to give the illusion of having an upward/downward bend in the photo/s.
I also used a soft brush to paint the shadow under the rollercoaster....... gave it a Gaussian Blur, and dropped the opacity down to around 20-30 (I cant remember to tell you the truth..... So I'm guessing LOL..... but I'm sure you get the idea).

And that's about it

Regards,
spd

here's one i tried to make like your's spd, and it was really hard. please critique it, because i know there are many things that are messed up or can be improved.

Another Grand example you have done DeepShallows Well Done with your effort it looks really good..... and I'm sure it's an indication of what's to come.

The only critique that's stands out for me is the lining up of the centre image with the other two.... It doesnt appear to link cleanly..... or this maybe just me.

Either way... I like it, and I'm impressed at your talent. Thumbs up!

Regards,
spd

yeah, i sheared the whole image (the two end ones) but not the middle, so i had to try to match those up. next time i'll just shear the frame so it will match up. since this was the first one of this kind of oob (something connecting the two images) i wasn't sure of all of the way to make the layers and such. also, if anyone has an image that they think this would work well with, please send it to me, because i'm having lots of trouble finding good images (i really want one with like, two kids, and one shooting the other kid with a squirtgun, but a squirtgun with a big stream of water). thank you.

not quite.what is shear?....umm i know how to extract....im kinda slow wit photoshop....i hope u dont mind u asking u to break it down a little further....i get the extracting part...

Hi island_BEEF007 and Welcome to 13 Dots.... I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I have.

The reference to "Shear"...... This is the "Shear Filter" (Filer>Distort>Shear)

I hope this helps with your question

Regards,
spd

okay thanks....by the way. i am using photoshop cs2. i guess i have to play around until i get something...

island, please show us your result if you try an oob, they're really fun.
