Photoshop: “Wrap a texture or pattern around an Object”

Another lesson I have learned in Photoshop is “Wrap a texture or pattern around an Object”

The effect is almost the same as combining photo and text but this time it involves the Distort/Displace filter.

Here are the steps/process in wrapping a texture or pattern around an object:

 

 

Step  1:  Open the first (for distortion and wrapping image)

Open the first Image/Document

Step  2:  Open the 2nd image (to be wrapped) remove the background. Copy this to the fist document.

Open the object or image to be wrapped / remove the Background

Step  3:  Copy & Paste this to the first Document

Copy the document

 

Step  4:  You now have 2 Layers

Step  5:  Image – Adjustments – Desaturate

Step  6:  At this point: Duplicate the layers to avoid stepping backward later

 

Step  7: Image – Adjustments – Levels

Image – Adjustments – Levels

Step  8:  Adjust to eliminate the Gray and increase saturation

Step  9:  Blur –Gausian Blur (set between 3 to 10)

Step  10:  Save this as the distortion map

Step  11:  Move and deactivate the adjusted & blurred layer/ activate the desaturated copy and move between the flagLayers

Step   12:  Filter – Distort – Displace

 

Step  13:  Load the Displacement map (the file saved earlier)

Step  14:  This will change the Flag (Distorted Map)

Step  15: Activate the target image (to be wrapped) Click Control + icon to load the image

Step  16:  Activate the distorted layer; Hold down the Vector Mask Icon

Step  17:  Change the blending mode to Overlay

 

Step  18:  Activate the Background layer

Step  19:  Adjust the opacity and fill

Step  20:  Apply Hue and Saturation

Step  21: Save the Image if you are satisfied with the result

 

 

Have a nice day and God Bless!
