Escape the Confines

You know me, whats an upload session without an OOB? LOL I'm learning to make these a new way so I'll share. First I opened new image to site size and flood filled black. Opened my source image and duplicated. Closed source file and resized the duplication. Duplicated again. From first duplication, I used the free hand tool to cut out the balloon. Opening the new flood filled image, I created a new raster layer and made my frame and used the pick tool to move it into place. Using free hand tool, I outlined an area inside the edges of my frame to control where I would CLONE my balloon reflection. Selecting the bottom layer, I then opened my second duplication and clicked on the botton of the balloon reflection by right clicking to select my clone source. Opened my new image flood fill and cloned the reflection inside the frame on the BOTTOM layer. Then, pasted my balloon cut-out as a new layer and moved it into place. Then, on the right where your layers are, arranged to move it on top. This put it on top of the frame layer naturally. Merged all and opened text tool which automatically creates a new layer to add the text and hard edged it so it looked clean. New raster layer and I've made my sig into tubes so they can be placed anywhere and sized any size for use. Very simply and to me anyway, uncomplicated way to make an OOB image without alot of erasing to achieve the same affect. Quite a few of my OOB images on here were done with this technique. Marty
