10. Warp:

Summary: Ever needed to stretch an image into an organic shape? How about pinching corners or folding edges? The Warp transformation makes it easy.

 

 

 

Shown: Here we have an image we'd like to warp. The grid is just a visual aid, representing what we'd like the final shape of the image to take.

 

 

Step 1: The colored image is moved over the visual aid.

 

 

Step 2: Once the image is in place, go to Edit >> Transform >> Warp.

 

 

Step 3: Notice the warp grid overlaying the image. Drag the outer top and left nodes inward as shown. When you get the shape you want, hit Enter to exit the Warp transform mode.

 

 

Shown: The original image is now warped into the desired shape.

Tip: Use warp to create curled page edges.
