Hello,

I have a rectangular image that I would like to transform about a slight curve (concavity is upwards),
i.e. "bending" or "curving" an image?. I know how to use transform, but it seems to only effect the image
along straight lines.

The closest thing I have found is to use the "distort > spherize", but this brings up other problems and
unwanted distortions.

Is there any technique to transforming an image along a curve?

Thanks for any suggestions you might know of,

Jon

Distort-Shear perhaps suits your needs ? Depending on desired effect you may have to rotate your image 90 degrees first.

Thanks for that, Pjotr, it worked like a charm. Very much appreciated!
