Follow those steps:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Add a transparent layer on top of your image and if you want a background another layer at the bottom:
<CENTER><A href="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump01.jpg"><IMG border="0" alt="screenshot" src="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump01_thumb.jpg" /><BR /><SMALL>[click to enlarge]</SMALL></A></CENTER><BR /></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Make a rectangular selection on the transparent layer about the size of the desired frame and fill it with white:
<CENTER><A href="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump02.jpg"><IMG border="0" alt="screenshot" src="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump02_thumb.jpg" /><BR /><SMALL>[click to enlarge]</SMALL></A></CENTER><BR /></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Shrink the selection (Select - Shrink, I used 15 pixels):

Deform it as you like:
<CENTER><A href="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump05.jpg"><IMG border="0" alt="screenshot" src="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump05_thumb.jpg" /><BR /><SMALL>[click to enlarge]</SMALL></A></CENTER><BR /></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Delete the parts of the frame which cover your subject, the result should be like this:
<CENTER><A href="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump06.jpg"><IMG border="0" alt="screenshot" src="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump06_thumb.jpg" /><BR /><SMALL>[click to enlarge]</SMALL></A></CENTER><BR /></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Erase the background of the photo (use what you like: mask, eraser, lasso, magic wand, just make sure the photo layer has an alpha channel):
<CENTER><A href="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump07.jpg"><IMG border="0" alt="screenshot" src="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/jump07_thumb.jpg" /><BR /><SMALL>[click to enlarge]</SMALL></A></CENTER><BR /></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><B>And we are done!</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://howto.nicubunu.ro/jump_out_gimp/"><DIV>
