First, let’s open up the picture we want an object to jump out of!
Image #1
Now we must change the name of the picture layer from background to something else and then copy it. You must also create a new layer and drag it to the bottom of the layer list.
Image #2
Now we will change the background color of the image to white.
Image #3
Now you can see the new white background layer.
Image #4
The next thing you want to do is select the layer that is on top of the list.
Image #5
Then select the Quick Selection Tool.
Image #6
Use the Quick Selection tool to trace the object that you want to pop-out of the image.
Image #7
Now you want to right-click on that area and select (inverse). This will select the outside area of what you have selected. Then you can press the delete button or right-click and delete and that area will be erased. That is when you will see the white background from the bottom most level.
Image #8
Now select the layer that is in the second position.
Image #9
Now we will take a section of the picture that we want to retain inside of the picture frame. Anything outside of this region will either disappear or become part of the pop-out effect.
Image #10
Now will select the “Mask Button” that is below the layers. You can see my cursor pointing to it.
Image #11
Now you have a finished project. A little weak in its effect and maybe not appealing, but it works none the less.

I am sure you will have much better ideas of what to do with this knowledge and how to use it. Now that I think about it I think that I could use it in some places right now that would help me out a little. I think I will get to work on that. The 3d pop-up effect will be great for making pictures of your family and friends come alive right before your eyes. If a picture is worth a 1000 words then a pop-out picture is worth 5,000! Have fun exploring Adobe CS3 and always strive to learn more!
