Do this in Photoshop?

[GoodPeopleFlags]

Can I take a rectangle and make it look like the attached image in Photoshop? I thought I saw something recently about being able to manually distort an image by dragging the selection box points around.

I did this in Illustrator but that doesn't give me the freedom of distorting it however I want. I thought I could do it in Photoshop, so I copied and pasted my text but can't figure out how to do it afterall.

Does that make sense?

Ya know what sucks? The version of PS we have is so old that doesn't have the Warp tool. Or Transform - Warp. It has Transform - Distort but that doesn't work the same way. I do not own the shop. Please do not tell me to upgrade. I personally own PS, AI and Dreamweaver CS5.

We have Omega on the other computer and the distortion tools there are pretty good. Just gonna do it through there. Thanks!

I usually skip a version, but in your case, i would tell the boss to pull out the plastic.

 

[GoodPeopleFlags]

If that would work, I would. Not gonna happen.

Your boss is a cheap ass.

It's like a logger going to work with a butterknife. I wonder if your boss still writes with a feather. I would atleast mention it to him/her

This is actually fairly easy to do with Adobe CS1. Go to the Filter Menu, select distort and then select wave. You can adjust the amount of curve you need with the pop up dialogue box. A good parameter to start with would be:

Number of Generators: 7
Type: Sine
Wave Length: 113 Min & 276 Max
Amplitude: 5 Min & 32 Max

This should give you the desired effect but play with it a little and you will get it exactly how you want it.

I can't believe your name is Blue Fish Designs, and you are designing using 10+ year old design software in the year 2011?

Does your boss come to work in a horse and buggy?

What is his problem, if you want to be competitive in this business today, you've got to get on board and have the software to keep up with this ever changing graphic technology!

Your boss is stifling your creative juices and holding you back by NOT providing the newer version of Photoshop!
