How to transform/distort an image like this..

[CBP]

What I want to do, is to use a picture of a bookpage I have made myself, and put it over the book in the picture (to change the picture and the text on the picture with my own design) The perspective is of course not a problem, but the wave effect is a little trickyer. Does anyone know a easy way to do this? :)

Yeah I did exactly the same thing for a company visual a few weeks ago. You need to go Photoshop>Distort>Wave. It takes a bit of fiddling, but I produced a perfect solution in a few minutes. I've attached an example of the settings I used, you'll have to then transform it with free transform to get the perspective right, and don't just select your page to transfor, you need to apply it to the whole layer, or I did.

Hope this helps, (trying to give something back to these forums that have helped me so much with my Actionscripting).

Be interested to see if anyone else has any other solutions.

Thanks for your nice reply:) I have actually tried this effect, but I just hate that the preview is so damn small!!! ;) But I will try to play with it some more then. I think photoshop CS2 has a new distort option that will make this thing easyer, but I only have the CS1 version:)

Yeah I only have CS1 too, my transform wasn't 100% perfect, and like I say a bit fiddly to do but the end result worked. I'd be interested to see if there are any other replies and how other people have acheived this.

Cheers
