Photoshop CS: Curved image on the background

In a recent exercise, I showed you how to create artistic borders and frames for an image. Do you think those photos will look softer and more impressive when it is modified a bit to become a curved image on a flat surface. This exercise will guide you to create a curved photo in the background, prepare a photo you like and we practice.

1 Create a background
- Let's start with a new Document, size 400px x 300px, any background color.
- Set foreground color - background (foreground: #ECECEC - background: # 7C7B7B)
- use the Gradient tool

with Liner gradient option

- Place your mouse on the top edge of the background and drag a straight line to the bottom edge.
You get the background image.

2. Open an image you want.
- Copy a part of the image you want to curve, so that the size of the selection is smaller than the background size.
- Paste the selected image into the center of the background
- Rename the image layer to "nen curved"

Practice lesson, I choose this picture:

3. Create borders and shadow images
- Right-click "Curve" layer> Blending option > Set Strocke and drop shadow with attribute

Stroke

+ Drop shadow: to default

Result of step 3

(You can change this step 3 by cutting the edges of the learned image in the lesson: cutting out the edges and creating a picture frame )

4. Tilt photos
- Edit> Free transform (ctrl + T)
- click on each button point on the 4 corners, hold down Ctrl + drag the button to get an oblique shape (3D) as follows:

5. Rotate the picture
- Edit - Transform - Rotate 90 CW.
- Filter - Distort - Shear and set properties for the image as follows

6. Finish
- Rotate the image: Edit - Transform - Rotate 90 CCW. You have the final result as follows
