Photoshop Brook Trout

[Guidofisherman]

Here are a few previous brook trout photos that I enhanced with a Photoshop pop-out technique. I used an on-line tutorial to make the original photo appear to jump out of it's frame. Here is a the link to how I did it.

I've done quite a few of those for clients, but really liked your background choices. Have to remember that now that I see how you chose the gradients colours. Nice to see the non-standard border edges too. Excellent touch..

I also liked to create a false shadow of the subject and drop it across the border to help pop out the illusion a bit more.

Thanks for the comments. They are the first and only one I have done. To Dan: "My fish... your what?" Ha, Ha, Ha. Actually, you have caught more Nipigon Brookies than I've seen. To Rick: I tried to figure out how to create a false shadow of the subject and drop it across the border to help pop out the illusion a bit more as you mentioned. Can you give me some instructions or a link on how to do that?

real good job on them

so to do shadow, would you just take a copy of the stick out make it all black or grey make it transparent and shift it to where you want it ..something like that..as it would be a nice touch for sure

The quick and dirty on the false drop shadow..

Duplicate the layer of the image without the frame (or use the magnetic lasso tool to make a selection around the area you want to drop shadow)..

Select the new layer, fill with black, transform, flip horizontal, move to the right spot, edit>perspective, clean it up with eraser, then gaussian blur and set the opacity. You can use the smudge tool to wrap it around the frame or make a displacement map...smudge is way easier, displacement map more acurate.

Just make sure you try and duplicate the original light source from the image.
