I’ve got a photo of a cable & connector that I’ve spent much time on (mostly on the details of the connector) getting it right.

I now want the cable to have an increasing-radius curve to the cable. It doesn’t have to be too precise, but it needs to look natural without making the cable looked like an overstretched rubber band or angular.

I’ve played around with distort and skew, neither of which will do any smooth changes.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn’t ask a question here if I hadn’t done that already.

A few things to try.

Path then paint in.

Liquify.

Displacement map.

You will probably need to mask the cable and put it on a separate layer.
