Wedding Album: Illustrator and Photoshop Warping

I love the tip "Make with Top Object". Another quality tutorial, thanks Matt!

Awesome !

me encanta............

Fresh dude, i appreciate you guys so much

where can i find the book/album image?

Thanks so much! I'd like to know, too, where to get the book image!

You guys are great!!

Great Tut! Saw it on the show - thanks for posting it here. One note, however. I found that it is *far* easier to add the shading to the page by adding a layer style for gradient overlay and setting the blend mode to linear burn (might be different for different images). You have to tweak the angle a bit, but it works as well, and I don't have to worry about my inability to match the angle by hand. Additionally, with the gradient style, there is no need for a layer mask & the gradient remains completely editable, in case a change needs to be made later on.

King: you can find very similar images at http://www.sxc.hu

I've got an error :-(

realy nice work! i am learning a lot from you! thanx dear.

I posted on the Forum but someone directed me back here. Some photos appear upside down when I apply the envelope distort. Others don't. It seems to be very high resolution pictures that do this nonsence. Have you ever seen this issue of images flipping when enveloping? Any thoughts or suggestions? I draw the path out the way you suggested but think it should not matter how the path is drawn as long as it is closed.
Thanks,

Gary.

Very nice tutorial Matt. Thanks.

Every time I attempt this, I get an error message telling me "The selection contains objects which cannot be distorted." I have one path and one .jpg image selected. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, First off, thanks for the kind words.

1) Here's a link to the istock photo I used in the tutorial: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=3555822

2) Gary - I'm not quite sure. Maybe try making sure that both images are close to the

same size and if not resize them. Also, as you mentioned, make sure you close the path.

Thanks, Matt K

Extremely useful tip, as it will apply to product packaging demos and the like. Thanks.

really useful tip. I just used it and came out really impressive.

Thanks a alot!

Im getting the same results as Amit.
I get the"The selection contains objects which cannot be distorted" warning?
Any tips on this please?

Thanks, I want to try it myself....where can i find the book/album image?

What a fabulous tip! Thank you!

I was getting the same error message and found that if you embed the image before applying the envelope distort, it works just fine. The only caveat to this is that your file size will increase.

Great tut!
Thx!

Very useful tutorial, this method really save time wraping in illustrator rather than photoshop

Love to do warping the image into the book but I keep getting this error message "the objects selected cannot be distorted" What's wrong? can someone enlightened me?

I'm a neophite to photoshop. Why is my brush not going straight down when i hold shift and click it won't go straight down but towards the left? HElp!
