I have been practising. Hope to get comments from our expert OOBers.   |

Whippet -
Those are excellent. In the top photo, I probably would have placed the cycle on the right, though.

These are great Whippet. I agree with Major Major though re the first one.

I love out of bounds. It really is a cool effect. Both of those are excellent

Love the second one whippet, the only change I would make would be to delete the sky from between the spokes on the front wheel (and between wheel and mudguard) to reveal the purple oob background

Both are very well done! I like the second one best and agree with Mrkrnbrd re the minor edits.
Major Major, why would you move the cycle to the right side? (...just curious....)
Also, whippet, you can change the opacity of the oob layers in Photoshop to get different effects too.

Whippet Nice extractions, especially the lower image.  Two observations. Concerning the top OOB … to me the motorcyclist does not appear to be breaking out of the photo and instead he appears to be moving in front and across the frame. Perhaps you could have him “break” through (the frame) either the top, bottom or right side. Also, a minor detail, if you would like the frames’ corners to have right angles, use Stroke>Location>Inside |

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
I haven't got a clue as to why I put the top cycle on the left. (Must have had a reason at the time.)
I am glad Mark mentioned the sky. I don't have a clue how to remove that from the spokes of the bike. You will also notice, that on the outside of the frame - between the tyre and mudguard - the sky colour is still there too. The marching ants would not go right to the framework just there.
Am I correct in thinking that there is a way to push them in, somehow?
Pete has just made me remember why I put the first rider on the left. I tried it on the right first, but I wanted to keep the rider's head inside the frame, and there was only a very small part of the front wheel which would have been outside.
I never thought about him popping through the top of the frame, Pete.
I shall try your suggestion regarding the frame corners. I hadn't tried OOB in Elements 11 before. It is some years since I did it in Elements 2. And that had me tearing my hair out. No way could I get the correct shape or width.

Whippet - What I would try is zooming in and using the magic wand (set to contiguous) to select each section between spokes, then hitting delete. It will be a bit tedious, but it should work. What you want to achieve is transparency where the background should show through. Ditto the bit between the tire and the mudguard. |

Whippet I tried this and it worked perfectly. Instead of removing the color, try changing it. First select the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. In the Hue/Saturation dialog, change the Channel from Master to either blue or cyan. Now use the Color Picker Tool (the one on the left) and sample the color between the spokes. (Now Elements knows which color you want to work on). In the dialog go to Hue and move the slider to the right. Now your selected color will start to change ... you should get close to the background color. But keep in mind that you will be changing that selected color through out the entire image. To limit the change, invert the adjustment layer's mask (from white to black) and then paint white on the black mask where you want the correction to show through. Give it a try |

Thank you both. I will try them, and see which I can manage best. |
