Stepping out effect ...

[R_Fredrick_Smith]

Here is a photo illustrating a "stepping out effect". What do you think?

I'm also attaching a poll to see how it works, or if it works.
Cheers,

Nice shot there, I like the effect of her stepping out of the box, or border there. It's something a little different.

Where are the I dont like it options in the poll? The shot I like... I am not a fan of the stepping out thing though.

I like it, Roger. I've used this effect on wildlife images in the past. It is interesting to see it used in a glamour setting.

Well done!

I only wanted positive responses so I rigged the poll.

I think you could just ask it in this thread.

There is not much to the effect. I just drew a selection in Photoshop that is where the border is. I then used Edit | Stroke to make it into a line like you see. But that line was over her foot and head, of course. Then I selected a history state of the image in the History palette that was before the border was visible. I then used the history brush to paint over the foot and head which makes it look like the model's foot and head are on top of the border.

I like it. It give's it a little something as long as it isn't over used.
