Warping images to shape - CS2

2007-06-18 21:37:40

I am trying to warp an image to match a shape. I tried putting the two images in two different layers, and than warping the top target layer to match the one below, but there aren't enough control points to match accurately.
Does anyone know of a way to warp an image to fit inside another shape?
Or make the warp grid subdivide into more than 9 sections?

-- I am using CS2

Thanks
JH

Hi JH,
Sometimes it just takes a lot of time. If you convert the layer to a smart object then at least you can have repeated attempts without re- interpolation. You also might want to look at the liquefy filter as an alternative to warp.

Good luck,
Ron

You can make selections of the "critical" points and put them on their own layer, then warp those layers.
Good luck

Not sure I totally follow you, but the shape is fairly complex and irregular.
I am distorting the bitmap to match an object shape of a 3d object.

Hard to imagine without an example. Can you post a link to one?

Russell Brown made a movie that describes what you want to do with your two flags.. and it is very easy to follow.. located at : http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/LiquifyAlert.mov

The shape is important - I am trying to match a 3d model shape.

I don't think this can be done in Photoshop. You might try UV mapping in POV-Ray. Here's a tutorial:
