For this project I created the illusion that the train was coming out of the photo. I really liked learning how to give a photo a 3-D look. It’s an effect I’ve always thought was really cool, and now I know how it’s done.

This is the photo I began with. I used layer masks, adjustment layers, and layer effects to create the illusion. I warped a white rectangle to create the outside look of a polaroid photo, and clipped the picture of the train to a smaller version of the warped rectangle to create the inside picture.
