50 Spectacular Out of Bounds Photoshop Manipulations

OOB (out of bounds) is the result of a photo manipulation technique, done with a software such as Photoshop or The GIMP, which creates an optical illusion of a 3D effect and, just like the name says, it presents the subject as coming out of the bounds of a photo. So the OOB images show a photo within another photo. The OOB technique is quite easy to implement if you have basic photo editing knowledge, some imagination and the right pictures. In this post we’ll show you the 50 most outstanding and creative OOB creations, for your delight and inspiration. Enjoy!

    I did one manipulation like that once, with my pets playing, and the result is great! Giulia, congratulations for your posts, very interesting subjects!

    Some of these are very cool and awesome, but some are way too simple and have some beginners’ mistakes to be featured here. Also, the ‘Out of Bounds Water’ was done by following this tutorial: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/create-an-out-of-bounds-fantasy-illustration/

    Cool stuff, but just saying 😛

    Thanks for showing my works, but the second image was not made in Photoshop, it’s pure Ultra Fractal, except for signature 😀
