Brian,
first off i use adobe CS4, if you dont have it i would highly recommend getting it. its not cheap but it will be your new best friend and there are so many kool things you can do with it.
as for the "out of bounds" i usually just search for "adobe cs4 tutorials" and i just happen to come across this one. go to youtube and just type in "cs4 out of bounds" and it should come up. you could get books but i find it much easier to just run a split screen and watch what others are doing.
cs4 is very complex and not very many good books out there for it, at least ones that clearly explain all the steps.
glad you liked the pic, like i said its not an easy process but just try it yourself a few times and it will click!
