Preserved Topic: Bending stuff (Page 1 of 1)

I'm having trouble bending objects and text (after rasterized). I'm wondering if there's any way to get the same effect as Create Warped Text without using the Create Warped Text option. I've tried the various transform tools but none of them seem to give me the effect i'm looking for. Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks!

Liquify tool

Well I had great fun playing with the displace filter, and likewise with the liquify, however I can't seem to get the effect I'm looking for. Here's what I'm trying to do.. I'd like to make the text and other objects on this can NOT look flat. Please take a look at this image and let me know if I'm missing something obvious or if I should get to know the displace better in order to achieve this effect, as there's no other way of doing it. Liquify would be fine if I had a perfectly steady hand. But I don't.

Curve It


Cannify

Filter > Distort > 3D Transform

Thanks, WJ! That worked.
