OOBs as you know I am sure are images that look as though they are jumping out of their frames which is why they are called Out Of Bounds!!!
Here is a Pixlr based walk-through on how to do them... there are easier techniques and the tools are far easier to use in Photoshop and Paintshop Pro but the idea and basic methodology are the same! PS and PSP users for instance, have access to the Magic wand and Quick selection tools and these little beauties make selecting a complete breeze! Pixlr at the moment has a freehand lasso tool and a polygonal lasso tool which are laboious by comparison but, did I mention- They are FREE!!!!!
I had to completely re-learn this in Pixlr and made a couple of fundamental mistakes (One of which was to not save the image every few minutes and having to start again from scratch!) which was quite good fun and a real eye-opener. I know of no one click app that will do this for you! Probably because you need to make selections and it is likely that this part of the process will drive you Nuts :-)) I did all mine very quickly and theyre not really very good if you look closely. This is also a tutorial that will make you do a lot of things that dont actually show their worth till the final stage when it all comes together as if by magic!
While the walktrough is shorter than the Hockney tutorial this technique requires a little more skill and thought.

If anyone wants any help then Just let me know!
Good luck to you all
Oh and by way of a post-script... Next months theme is real easy I promise! :-)

Just a small suggestion for further "How-Tos": Please give your image-texts some background, at some of them it was difficult to read. :)
Nodule has replied to ୱ Kiezkickerde ( ͡°… clubI know some of the tools are different and are placed in different areas of the interface but as long as you can make selections and save to layers then you should easily do this in any suite!
interestingly, I do this in Photoshop CS5 and do not have to use the eraser tool at all
ୱ Kiezkickerde ( ͡°… club has replied to NoduleMostly I struggle with the last two ones - and the transform / perspective as a last step.
Crow, it's not called Quick Mask in PSP it has a completely different name- Edit Selection and it is found under 'Selections' , click 'Edit Selection' and a new layer appears filled with black. Select a paintbrush tool and make sure your background & foreground colours are black and white... If you paint white on your image you will see it turn Red, this is the mask. If you then paint the image with black you effectively remove the mask. (handy when you make mistakes!)
Once you have painted the mask fully you go back to Selections and click Edit Selection again and this time it reverts to the marching ants and you have a selection!
I can sleep at night now... I knew it was there :-)
Well done everyone who has even attempted it :-))
